Chicken a la Verdi from Escoffier –– lyre shaped breast of chicken with saffron risotto, made with D'Artagnan truffle butter and foie gras –– feels extravagant but isn't!
From the 1867 Dinner of the Century, an ice cream bombe. Lavender-berry and caramel-Benedictine ice creams with a berry sauce inspired by Escoffier's combinations.
Neapolitan Ice Cream, the original 19th Century version with strawberry, vanilla and pistachio topped with glorious raspberry-rose sorbet –– the best sorbet ever and perfect for Mother's Day!
The Dicken's Burger, made with ground goose (or duck or turkey) with a molton foie mousse center and Stilton cheese on a brioche bun. A very decadent treat.
This was served at the last lunch on the Titanic in 1912 –– Apple Meringue. Baked apple and custard with an ethereal meringue. It's old fashioned and romantic.
You won't believe what this is! Poularde a la Néva –– cold chicken on aspic cubes with a cream sauce above and mousse beneath. Beautiful, light, delicious and a real French classic.
The original merguez predates the New World and its chilies and is full of warm spices instead. It is a killer dish with a pomegranate sauce and a secret ingredient!
Lamb Rutibaya, an ancient Persian dish with dates, pistachios, mastic and rose on a bed of farro and pistachio. It is a dish meant for a regal feast that will leave you licking your fingers for sure!
From Apicius, a 2000 year old molded salad with chicken, cucumber, onion and pine nuts and a delicious celery seed dressing. As delicious as it is beautiful!
