Yesterday, with just 4 hours of preparations, I managed to pull off a 5-course dinner for some friends visiting after some impromptu decisions - I was thinking of showcasing some ingredients that I recently bought in France...
In a haste, I have forgotten to photograph the first - foie gras with toast and apricot jam reduction...
Capellini with hearts of artichoke, highlighted with a light touch of
piment d’Espelette and a sprinkle of air-dried caviar from Petrossian.
Steamed fingerling potatoes with two flavour-infused butter:
saucisse de Morteau ( a raw smoked French sausage from Morteau near the Swiss border at Villers-le-lac) and summer truffles.
Chardonnay-braised spring lamb with garlic and
herbes de Provence served on a bed of
Tian of courgettes and tomatoes.
Cherry tomatoes salad with honey-lemon dressing and a small cut of 12-month old Comte cheese.
Absinthe flavoured chocolate mousse and an infusion of verveine to finish...
