SALMON COULIBIAC
Salmon coulibiac (sometimes spelled "Koulibiac") is a traditional Russian dish that has gained popularity in French cuisine for its elaborate and elegant presentation.
CORDON BLEU TWO WAYS
I’m revisiting one of the ultimate French comfort foods—cordon bleu, two ways! First, we’ve got the classic chicken, ham, and cheese combo, and then a twist with veal, pancetta, and blue cheese.
CORSICAN style RABBIT
The lapin à l’istrettu is a specialty from Corsica which can be loosely translated as a braised rabbit (cuisson a l’étouffée in French). In essence the rabbit is cooked in a casserole dish with a mixture of white wine, olives, capers, onion, and pancetta
Bocuse POULET AU VINAIGRE
This Paul Bocuse version features a butter sauce made from a vinegar reduction, reminiscent of the technique used in a beurre blanc.
Madeira short - RIBS
Braising short ribs marinated in Madeira wine offers a delicious alternative to the traditional red wine marinade, turning the meat into succulent, candied pieces of goodness.
CHICKEN BERCY
Chicken Bercy is a lesson in basic sauce making used in French culinary schools.
LE POULET A La BIERE
Known as Coq à la Bière, this dish is typically made with rooster in France, which is hard to come by these days. Therefore, I recommend using a high-quality chicken as a substitute. Coq à la Bière is the North's response to the famous Coq au Vin, with beer taking center stage instead of wine. To ensure a perfect result, it's essential to use a fine-quality amber Belgian beer, infusing the dish with a distinctive malty flavor and a rich color that sets it apart from the traditional Coq au Vin.
CHICKEN IN CREAM BOCUSE STYLE
The Paul Bocuse method uses an entire chicken, including the offcuts and carcass, to create a chicken dish with a sauce. Everything gets cooked together. This approach not only eliminates waste but also imparts additional flavor, avoiding the need for stock.
DUCK LEG CONFIT
Today, though, we're focusing our lens on the marvellous world of duck leg confit, or as the French elegantly put it, "cuisses de canards confites." But don't let the fancy name throw you off. This culinary journey is all about embracing simplicity.
ESCOFFIER CHICKEN marseillaise
Poulet Sauté a la Marseillaise is highly unusual in traditional French cuisine. This chicken dish beautifully blends chili with classic French techniques to create a fiery flavor profile.
LEMON & GARLIC CHICKEN
Despite its simplicity, the dish delivers an invigorating taste experience, achieved with just a handful of ingredients.
CORSICAN RAGOUT
First the beef is braised and slow-cooked in the oven, similar to the Beef Bourguignon. However, the sauce is then separated from the beef and stirred through macaroni, creating a pasta dish that is served alongside the ragout.
CHICKEN WITH CHORIZO
This recipe takes inspiration from the cuisine found in French towns along the Spanish border, where Spanish flavors have influenced the local cuisine. Classic ingredients like onions, garlic, bay leaves and tomatoes are paired with the smoky, spicy flavors of paprika and chorizo for a delicious combination that will take your taste buds to Basque country.
CONFIT LEG OF LAMB
The tender and juicy lamb is braised and then slowly cooked in a rich sauce made with Madeira wine, orange juice, and aromatic herbs.
30 CLOVES GARLIC CHICKEN
In my signature dish, garlics are slow cooked in their sleeves along with chicken, wine, and cognac. To finish, I add cream to create a delicious instant sauce that complements the dish perfectly.
ALSATIAN BAECKEOFFE
The "Baeckeoffe” is an Alsatian specialty made with Riesling wine, three types of meat, onions, and potatoes. The pot is sealed with baker’s dough and cooked in the oven for 3 hours.
