Plain Court-bouillon
Cold fish, salted water, milk, and lemon rise together toward one quiet boil. Move the pan off heat at once, and whole turbot or brill finishes gently, pale, moist, and intact.

Court-bouillon with Vinegar
The clear, sharp poaching liquor that teaches restraint: vegetables simmered gently with vinegar, then peppercorns held to the final twelve minutes so trout, salmon, and shellfish taste clean, never bitter.
Chef Juliette
Court-bouillon with Red Wine
Court-bouillon au vin rouge is the brief, wine-dark poaching liquor for river fish: two parts excellent red wine, one part water, carrots and aromatics, simmered gently so the wine stays supple.
Chef Juliette
Cooked Marinade for Venison
Marinade cuite draws sweetness from browned aromatics, bite from vinegar, and perfume from white wine and herbs, then asks one nonnegotiable thing: chill it stone cold before the venison goes in.
Chef Juliette
Raw Marinade for Butcher’s Meat or Venison
Marinade crue works quickly: salt and pepper meet a bed of minced aromatics, then oil and half as much vinegar season the meat while regular turning keeps every surface under equal discipline.
Chef Juliette
Court-bouillon with White Wine
A clear, wine-bright court-bouillon for freshwater fish, built on equal measures of white wine and water, thirty minutes of aromatic extraction, and one essential discipline: salt for the reduction you intend.
Chef Juliette
Brine
Saumure teaches the first law of curing: salt must reach the centre before the edges harden. A floating potato reads strength, while measured Cure #1 makes the old method safe at home.
Chef Juliette
Special Court-bouillon, or Blanc
The blanc that protects pale meats and vegetables: flour suspended in lemoned salted water, stirred without pause to the first boil, then used at once for clean colour and gentle cooking.
Chef Juliette
Marinade with Red Wine for Mutton
Marinade au vin rouge teaches the discipline of balance: wine matched exactly with water, vinegar for brightness, and enough aromatics to meet mutton's strength without masking the meat.
Chef Juliette
Marinade for Mutton, Roebuck-style
A sharper cooked marinade of white wine, vinegar, juniper, wild thyme, basil, rosemary, and garlic, reduced enough to give mature mutton the dark woodland character of roebuck.
