Poussins à la Piémontaise
Two poussins stuffed with white truffle and pork fat, bronzed in butter, nested in Rizotto à la Piémontaise, glazed under Parmesan, and finished with gleaming beurre noisette.

Updated July 29, 2026
Escoffier's poussins: birds small enough to serve one to a guest, and every treatment here turns on the same problem, cooking a tiny bird through without drying it. Six answers, from Cendrillon in its jacket of pork forcemeat and caul to a white-truffle cocotte buried in rizotto, a paysanne tourte under short paste, and Viennese quarters fried crisp. Fast heat, real butter, one cook, one stove, one evening.
A cooking platform built around craft, culture, and the stories behind what we eat.

Half-poussins, sausage meat, and dry duxelles enclosed in burnished short paste, with glossy demi-glace poured through the top slit the moment it leaves the oven. Country generosity, disciplined by exact pastry work.

Butter-browned poussins disappear beneath fine pork forcemeat, melting caul, and a golden crumb jacket, then meet truffle-rich Périgueux sauce at the table: gentle heat is the whole discipline.

Four butter-browned poussins hide a tender gratin forcemeat stuffing, then leave the cocotte under lemon and crisp crumbs fried in beurre noisette: generous classical poultry for one attentive cook.

Two little birds, split flat, brushed with Dijon, and crumbed before a gentle grilling. Keep them off the fierce fire and the crust bronzes just as the meat turns succulent.

Golden poussin quarters in a close à l'anglaise crumb, fried fast enough to stay juicy, then carried straight to the table beneath crisp parsley with lemon ready at the rim.
