Recipes

Suprêmes, Côtelettes et Filets de Faisan

Chef Juliette

Suprêmes, Côtelettes et Filets de Faisan

The decisive rule for pheasant breast: poêle the birds just underdone, keep the meat on the bone until the plates are ready, then raise the suprêmes and serve immediately with glossy jus.

Salmis de Faisan

Chef Juliette

Salmis de Faisan

Salmis de Faisan makes one bird build its own sauce: roast it deliberately underdone, crush the carcass into reduced wine and game Espagnole, then finish the pieces once, glossy, hot, and fragrant with truffle.

Sauté de Faisan

Chef Juliette

Sauté de Faisan

Sauté de Faisan rewards restraint: young pheasant cooked gently in butter, breast pulled early, and a short pan sauce reduced to a gloss and poured only when the platter is ready.

Pâté Chaud de Faisan

Chef Juliette

Pâté Chaud de Faisan

Pheasant roasted deliberately underdone, layered with game-liver gratin forcemeat, mushrooms, and truffle inside a burnished raised crust, then opened at the table for a glossy carcass-built salmis sauce.

Mousses et Mousselines de Faisan

Chef Juliette

Mousses et Mousselines de Faisan

Cold is the craft in these pheasant mousselines: a fine forcemeat bound with egg white and cream, poached gently, then served with a glossy sauce drawn from the bird's own fumet.

Soufflé de Faisan

Chef Juliette

Soufflé de Faisan

Pheasant and cream become a feather-light mousseline in a buttered dish, baked gently so the centre stays tender, with a glossy game-scented demi-glace served separately.

Faisan à la Bohémienne

Chef Juliette

Faisan à la Bohémienne

Whole pheasant filled with truffled foie gras, butter-cooked with Madeira and burnt brandy, then sealed in deeply savoury jelly: a cold centerpiece whose success rests on seasoning before chilling.

Chaud-froid de Faisan

Chef Juliette

Chaud-froid de Faisan

Cold poached pheasant, a brown chaud-froid sauce deepened with its own fumet, black truffle, and trembling aspic: an exacting make-ahead centerpiece whose success rests on coating while the sauce still flows.

Chaud-froid de Faisan à la Buloz

Chef Juliette

Chaud-froid de Faisan à la Buloz

Brown-glazed pheasant suprêmes and ivory mushrooms alternate beneath a clear, truffle-set dome of aspic, a cold centerpiece whose elegance depends on temperature, not ornament alone.

Faisan à la Croix de Berny

Chef Juliette

Faisan à la Croix de Berny

Cold pheasant rebuilt over truffled foie-gras parfait, its sliced fillets lacquered with clear aspic and ringed by chaud-froid-coated quail: a grand lesson in temperature, structure, and patient hands.

Faisan en Daube

Chef Juliette

Faisan en Daube

A whole pheasant, boned and rebuilt around truffled forcemeat and foie gras, gently poêlé in Madeira, then chilled in its own savory jelly until every slice holds clean and gleaming.

Côtelettes de Faisan

Chef Juliette

Côtelettes de Faisan

Cold pheasant mousseline, cut into neat côtelettes, masked with glossy sauce chaud-froid, truffled, and sealed beneath clear aspic: a grand cold preparation made manageable for one attentive home cook.

Galantine de Faisan

Chef Juliette

Galantine de Faisan

A pheasant galantine teaches disciplined cold cookery: bone through the back, stripe the forcemeat with tongue and truffle, poach at a tremble, then press lightly for a clean, generous slice.

Mousse de Faisan

Chef Juliette

Mousse de Faisan

Mousse de Faisan sets roasted game and half-whipped cream into a chilled, silken mould for four, proving that the classical cold table needs attention, not a brigade.

Pain de Faisan en Belle-vue

Chef Juliette

Pain de Faisan en Belle-vue

Pain de Faisan en Belle-vue sets tender pheasant and black truffle beneath clear aspic, with a butter-rich filling and a cold, clean slice that returns the classical buffet canon to the home table.

Suprêmes de Faisan Châtelaine

Chef Juliette

Suprêmes de Faisan Châtelaine

Suprêmes de Faisan Châtelaine turns poached pheasant into alternating ivory and brown medallions, each domed with cold mousse, glazed with chaud-froid sauce, and suspended under clear, savory aspic.

Suprêmes de Faisan Gastronome

Chef Juliette

Suprêmes de Faisan Gastronome

Suprêmes de Faisan Gastronome turns one pheasant into a cold architectural centerpiece: glossy chaud-froid breast slices, a precisely matched leg-meat mousse, Champagne-poached truffles, and aspic cut like little jewels.

Terrine de Faisan

Chef Juliette

Terrine de Faisan

Terrine de Faisan follows the hare terrine's grammar with tenderer game: bake it more briefly, trust the clear fat at the surface, then press it cold for generous, clean slices.

Perdreau à la Bourguignonne

Chef Juliette

Perdreau à la Bourguignonne

Young partridge cooked poêlé in butter, then finished with glazed onions, mushroom caps, and red Burgundy reduced into game half-glaze: a compact lesson in preserving delicacy while building a wine-dark sauce.

Perdreau en Demi-Deuil

Chef Juliette

Perdreau en Demi-Deuil

Black truffle beneath pale partridge skin, a butter-bound game forcemeat within, and a bare-tremble poach in fumet: half-mourning teaches that gentleness, not ceremony, keeps a grand bird succulent.

Perdreau en Estouffade

Chef Juliette

Perdreau en Estouffade

Four partridges, burnished in a hot oven, layered with Matignon (No. 227) and juniper, then closed beneath a paste-ringed lid with burnt brandy and game fumet for twenty-five fragrant minutes.

Perdreau à la Lautrec

Chef Juliette

Perdreau à la Lautrec

A butter-brushed young partridge, opened down the back and grilled flat until evenly bronzed, with mushroom caps carrying maître d’hôtel butter, lemon, and a fine gleam of meat glaze.

Perdreau Lady Clifford

Chef Juliette

Perdreau Lady Clifford

Butter-basted partridge turns bronze before raw truffle, burnt Cognac, and meat glaze enter for the final quarter, preserving their perfume while warm Sauce Soubise waits in its own boat.

Perdreau aux Choux

Chef Juliette

Perdreau aux Choux

Two partridges do two jobs: the mature bird perfumes the cabbage, the young bird crowns it underdone, and a narrow ribbon of game-scented demi-glace binds the plate.
