Recipes

Foie de Veau à l’Anglaise

Chef Juliette

Foie de Veau à l’Anglaise

Foie de Veau à l’Anglaise teaches the narrow timing of liver: thin slices, a whisper of flour, hot butter, crisp bacon, and a swift beurre noisette finish before tenderness slips away.

Brochettes de Foie de Veau

Chef Juliette

Brochettes de Foie de Veau

Brochettes de Foie de Veau turn delicate liver, salt pork, mushrooms, duxelles, and fine crumbs into a generous grill, provided the liver is stiffened in butter before the skewer is built.

Foie de Veau à l’Espagnole

Chef Juliette

Foie de Veau à l’Espagnole

Calf’s liver stays tender beneath a fine flour crust, with grilled tomatoes, crisp onion roundels, and fried parsley beside it. Oil, quick heat, and an orderly stove make this generous old plate entirely at home.

Foie de Veau Sauté aux Fines Herbes

Chef Juliette

Foie de Veau Sauté aux Fines Herbes

Foie de veau at its best: tender, butter-gilded slices in a glossy sauce aux fines herbes, with quick heat doing the work and one pan carrying every browned flavor to the table.

Pain de Foie de Veau

Chef Juliette

Pain de Foie de Veau

Pain de Foie de Veau, enriched with cold panada, egg, and cream, then gently poached and turned out under Duxelles: the forcemeat that teaches temperature, patience, and the value of a fine sieve.

Côtes de Veau

Côtes de Veau

Côtes de Veau teaches the true sauté: dry bone-in chops, clarified butter, lively heat, then Madeira lifted through the fond and rounded with a pale veal glaze.

Côte de Veau à la Bonne Femme

Chef Juliette

Côte de Veau à la Bonne Femme

Four veal chops, browned deeply in butter and covered with pearl onions and potato roundels, finish gently in one pot, where their juices make the only sauce this generous bonne femme supper needs.

Côte de Veau en Casserole

Chef Juliette

Côte de Veau en Casserole

Côte de veau at its most disciplined: thick rib chops turned patiently in quiet butter, finished with one spoonful of veal gravy, and served from the casserole that cooked them.

Côte de Veau en Cocotte à la Paysanne

Chef Juliette

Côte de Veau en Cocotte à la Paysanne

Côte de Veau en Cocotte à la Paysanne teaches the quiet art of browning first and cooking gently after: veal, salt pork, onions, and potato triangles sharing butter and their own juices in one pot.

Côte de Veau à la Dreux

Chef Juliette

Côte de Veau à la Dreux

Each veal chop becomes a lesson in precision: tongue, ham and truffle show cleanly through its trimmed surface, while quenelles, mushrooms, olives and truffled demi-glace complete the generous classical garnish.

Côte de Veau Milanaise

Chef Juliette

Côte de Veau Milanaise

Parmesan in the crumb is the mark: a thin veal chop fried bronze in clarified butter, with tomato-cheese macaroni carrying Madeira-warmed ham, tongue, mushroom, and truffle beside it.

Côte de Veau Papillote

Chef Juliette

Côte de Veau Papillote

Côte de Veau en Papillote seals butter-browned veal, Duxelles, sliced mushroom, and ham inside oiled paper, then lets the hot oven inflate the parcel for its generous opening at the table.

Côte de Veau Pojarski

Chef Juliette

Côte de Veau Pojarski

Veal, chopped with half its weight in cold butter, rebuilt around the rib bone, and fried to a bronze crust: Côte de Veau Pojarski teaches that temperature and a gentle turn can hold richness in shape.

Côte de Veau Zingara

Chef Juliette

Côte de Veau Zingara

Côte de Veau Zingara sets a butter-browned veal chop beneath warm jambon cru, with sharp red-brown Zingara sauce pooling around it and a fine julienne of tongue, mushroom, and black truffle running through every spoonful.

Côte de Veau Froide en Belle Vue

Chef Juliette

Côte de Veau Froide en Belle Vue

Côte de Veau Froide en Belle Vue turns four cold veal chops into a clear-jellied centerpiece, each patterned with vegetables and unmoulded onto chopped aspic, a precise lesson in timing rather than ornament.

Côte de Veau Froide Rubens

Chef Juliette

Côte de Veau Froide Rubens

Côte de Veau Froide Rubens sets tender cold veal beneath young hop shoots and tomato-bound aspic, then seals everything in clear jelly: a spring lesson in patience, clarity, and exact chilling.

Rognon de Veau

Chef Juliette

Rognon de Veau

Rognon de veau asks for nerve, not time: a dry kidney, fierce heat, and a swift pan jus give you bronze edges, a rosy centre, and butter-bright sauce before the meat can toughen.

Rognon de Veau en Casserole

Chef Juliette

Rognon de Veau en Casserole

Whole veal kidneys, trimmed to a veil of fat, turned patiently in butter and finished with veal gravy: cocotte cooking at its clearest, gentle heat doing all the work.

Rognon de Veau en Cocotte

Chef Juliette

Rognon de Veau en Cocotte

Whole veal kidneys, burnished in butter and finished gently with bacon, mushrooms, small potatoes, glazed onions, and veal gravy: a complete cocotte supper built on control, not complication.

Rognon de Veau Grillé

Chef Juliette

Rognon de Veau Grillé

A veal kidney split but kept hinged, skewered flat, and grilled over moderate heat with frequent butter basting, then served with maître-d'hôtel butter: the quick grill that rewards nerve and attention.

Rognon de Veau à la Liégeoise

Chef Juliette

Rognon de Veau à la Liégeoise

Rognon de Veau à la Liégeoise pairs tender, butter-cooked veal kidney with a last-minute flare of gin, crushed juniper, and veal gravy: deep, glossy, aromatic, and served in its casserole.

Rognon de Veau à la Montpensier

Chef Juliette

Rognon de Veau à la Montpensier

Veal kidney browned at fierce heat, then glossed with Madeira and meat glaze, with butter-bound asparagus tips and black truffle at the center. The pan must be hot, because hesitation toughens the rognon.

Rognon de Veau Portugaise

Chef Juliette

Rognon de Veau Portugaise

Tender veal kidney, a ring of buttered slices and stuffed tomatoes, reduced tomato fondue at the center, and Madeira sauce around it all prove that timing is the heart of this classical plate.

Rognon de Veau à la Robert

Chef Juliette

Rognon de Veau à la Robert

A whole veal kidney browned briskly, roasted, sliced whisper-thin, and warmed in a Cognac, mustard, lemon, parsley, and butter liaison: rich, sharp, glossy, and governed by one rule, never let the sauce boil.
