Homage to veal sweetbread medallions

Sauteed Veal SweetbreadsSoak the sweetbreads in cold water for 24 hours.Once the sweetbreads are whitened, rinse well.Place the sweetbreads with the carrot, quartered onion, celery and thyme into a pot, cover with water, and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 20 minutesLeave to cool in their cooking juices.

Breaded SweetbreadsAdd the flour, cornflour, rice flour, sugar, salt and baking powder into a mixing bowl. Mix together and add the cold water. Drain the sweetbreads, pat with a kitchen towel, and season if required. Toss the sweetbreads in this mixture and shake off any excess. Roll them in the Japanese-style breadcrumbs. Retain the remaining mixture for the garnish. Sauté the sweetbreads in the clarified butter just before serving.

Bocage CreamBlanch the rocket in lightly salted boiling water for about ten seconds and then drain and cool immediately in iced water. Peel and chop the shallots. Sweat the shallots in the butter, add the diced apples and then flame with the Calvados (optional). Add the apple juice, tarragon and dill. Reduce by 3/4. Add the cream, reduce by about a half. Add more rocket and blend. Strain through a fine sieve and season with the cider vinegar, salt, sugar, freshly ground pepper and liquorice powder. Keep hot, but do not allow to boil to maintain a nice green colour.

Vegetable AccompanimentPeel the rutabaga, wash and cut into four. Sauté in 20 g of butter and season with salt and pepper. Cook the mangetout on a gentle boil in salted water. Turn over the baby artichokes and use a melon baller to remove the heart, then cut into four. Sauté in 40 g of butter. Clean the girolle mushrooms and sauté in oil in a very hot frying pan. Drain, sauté in 40 g of butter, add the chopped flat parsley, then season with salt. Retrieve the cauliflower tops, sauté in the remaining butter and season with salt and pepper.

Cromesquis Cook the calf ’s head in water seasoned with salt and pepper for about 2 hours (prick with a knife to ensure it is cooked through). Leave to cool in the cooking juices. Once the calf’s head is lukewarm, cut it into small cubes. Mix with the mustards, finely chopped shallots, torn tarragon leaves, and season well with salt and pepper. Pour into a terrine and leave to set overnight in the fridge. Cut into large cubes and bread as you did the sweetbreads using the leftover dough and breadcrumbs. Cook in very hot clarified butter.

Having grown up in the countryside where offal is so popular, I ‘ve always wondered why it is eaten so little. That was my reason for creating a recipe that pays tribute to this fine produce. My recipe combines memories of my

childhood, techniques I acquired in Michelin-starred restaurants, and a nod to the Normandy region

Sébastien Faré

16

For this recipe, I used peas, artichokes, fennel, and a terrific wild sea bass fillet! And some cream, naturally. Products are the cornerstone for any chef. What I find most interesting is the kind of alchemy achieved through cooking,

cutting and putting different ingredients together. I always find that fun and intriguing. After all, in the kitchen, we re-invent, and re-enchant :

recipes, ideas, and products.

I love cooking from the heart: a beaten egg,breadcrumbs, a cushion of veal, Parmesan cheese and cream … Nice and simple. It ’s a combination of crisp and soft textures,

quite the culinary feat...

These days, we ’ re returning to what’ ’s real, we crave authenticity.So, I made the simplest dish in the world: an oeuf parfait.

I think it’ ’s the best cooking method to discover the real flavour of the egg. Plus, that’ ’s how I enjoy an egg... with Parmesan cream and lemon confit.

A crisp, and the right amount of seasoning.Yannick Tranchant

What totally inspired us was the memory of taking strawberries and dunking them in fresh cream, as simple as that. It takes you right back. We used the strawberries in different ways: in a sorbet, a sauce or cut in quarters …

then we added a hint of acidity and thyme in the cream. Next, we prepared a sugar wafer for added bite and tasting enjoyment.

Yannick Tranchant & Nicolas Boussin

I draw my inspiration from all the places that I visit: whether it ’s a painting exhibition or an architecture display… I assimilate the information and when

I ’m devising a new recipe, it resurfaces like a spark of inspiration that guides my pastry making. Here, I wanted to work on the milky aspect

of the yoghurt and lessen its acidity with a more rounded flavour. So, I created a dome of green anise and Morello cherries to enhance

the cream in a light mousse.Nicolas Boussin

For the artistic or visual aspect of a cake, we might be inspired by an atmosphere, an emotion, a piece of music, etc. I like to focus on movement. Transcribing the gesture of a pastry chef. In this recipe, I wanted to work on an inspiration from Mexico. I tried to perfectly marry three flavours:

pecan nuts, banana and Mexican Maragogype coffee.Etienne Leroy

Inspiration can come from just about anywhere: the street, a museum, looking at photos of cabinetry... Above all, I wanted to work on the flavour of the cream with the vanilla and the raisins, but I was also looking for

something very raw for the finishing touches. So, I created an indulgent and smooth recipe: soft vanilla cream sponge, a little mango and passion fruit

marmalade, enhanced with orange. And for the finishing touch: a sarment de Nicolas - in honour of Nicolas Boussin.

After School Delight

When I was a boy, my favourite time of day was teatime when I came home from school. Since my parents were bakers, in our house, the teatime spread was really something! We had brioche, cakes,

little biscuits and almond chocolate bars. That’ ’s what I wanted to convey in my recipe : a teatime centred around a tartlet

Often, inspiration comes when I have a pen in hand.And just then, I thought of a well-known expression:

“ the cherry on top of the cake”. Since I love puns, I had to reinvent the expression to make a new pastry.
