Oison au Raifort

Chef Juliette

Oison au Raifort

Pain de Foie Gras

Chef Juliette

Pain de Foie Gras

Pain de Foie Gras turns Madeira-braised liver into a silken, truffled aspic: a lesson in warm emulsion, gentle folding, and the quiet confidence of a cold dish made entirely ahead.

Pavé de Foie Gras Lucullus

Chef Juliette

A cold pavé built in clear layers of foie-gras purée, tender collops, black truffle, and aspic, each one set before the next so the square turns out with its lines intact.

Timbale de Foie Gras Tzarine

Chef Juliette

Timbale de Foie Gras Tzarine

Caneton d’Aylesbury Poëlé à la Menthe

A butter-poêled Aylesbury duckling, bronzed only after its covered roast, with mint inside and clear veal gravy brightened by lemon. The lesson is simple: poêlé means butter, a lid, and no added liquid.

Caneton Molière

Chef Juliette

Caneton Molière

Caneton Molière rebuilds a boned duckling around foie gras, pork, and two truffle rows, then poaches it in carcass stock before a glossy Madeira finish. The lesson is cold filling, even shaping, and gentle heat.

Caneton Braisé aux Navets

Chef Juliette

Caneton Braisé aux Navets

Caneton Braisé aux Navets turns one cocotte into a lesson in glazing: burnished duck, pearl onions, and turnips carried to light brown before they finish in a glossy classical sauce.
