When you think of "gourmet cooking" what recipe and what qualities come to mind?

what recipe comes to mind when you think of gourmet cooking?

what qualities come to mind?

what descriptions?

I think of fresh, local, organic ingredients. So no tomatoes or strawberries in December :) Nothing cheap from a can or a box. Anything cooked with a lot of care and attention. Rich, heavy, something you couldn't eat every day.
