FESTIVE STARTER
Our favourite ingredients to create a flavoursome starter combining the richness of the quail with foie gras and truffles
ON OFFER caille de chanteloup
Whole French Quail Caille de Chanteloup is a family-run business who breed quail - it’s what they’re good at and 40 years in the business proves just how good they are at raising their birds, feeding them exclusively on a diet of cereal to ensure every bird has that rich, succulent flavour reminiscent of the finest game birds.
Fresh Winter Truffles Few products scream luxury as do fresh winter truffles, Mother Nature’s hidden treasures that she offers up just in time for the Christmas season. Based at the heart of the French truffle region, Plantin’s reputation has been forged over 80 years of experience in the market and our choice of partnering with them guarantees the provenance and excellence of every truffle you reach for to enhance your festive fare.
Any little bits of foie gras trim left over from dicing can be rendered down and cooked like a beurre noisette. It can then be passed off and used to finish certain sauces like beef or poultry.
Anglesey Sea Salt Halen Môn Pure Sea Salt has an intense crunch and tastes of the cleanest oceans – it’s sure to bring an incredible taste to your dishes.
Duck Foie Gras Whole Lobe Foie gras may be a Christmas staple in France, but it is not all produced in the same manner. We choose only to partner with Soulard as our supplier of this delicacy as their commitment to animal welfare is unsurpassed. In turn, they work only with farms in their immediate vicinity, so they can spot check at any moment that their rigorous animal-welfare standards are being strictly adhered to.
Pasta Flour Made from pure Italian wheat, Pivetti type ‘00’ flour is perfect for fresh pasta. With its very low ash content, it produces a dough that will just slip through your pasta machine or be a positive pleasure to roll out by hand. And naturally, it gives each noodle that desirable golden colour, a smooth texture and a definite taste of Italy.

CHARLES SMITH Head Chef at Lords of the Manor, Upper Slaughter Whilst at a food festival, a young Charles spotted Gordon Ramsay and courageously asked him outright to give him a job … which he did. In 2008 he went to work at Petrus by Marcus Wareing where he stayed four years, working his way up to Junior Sous Chef. During this time Charles Smith won the Craft Guild Young National Chef of The Year competition. With the passion for learning and also a love for travel, Charles then decided to move to New York to work for Thomas Keller at his three Michelin starred restaurant Per Se. At that time the restaurant was named best in New York City and included in World Top 10 lists. A little over a year later, he returned to London to work with James Knappett as senior sous chef at Kitchen Table (awarded a Michelin Star in 2014), before going to work at the 4AA Rosette, Michelin starred Alyn Williams at The Westbury as Head Chef for 2 years.

Barbecued Qwehli “White Gold” Toothfish, Green Oyster Sauce, Melting Brie and Sturia Oscietra Caviar by Pascal Aussignac Head Chef at Club Gascon
See full recipe on page 43
WHITE GOLD SECRET
Discover one of the most unknown jewels from our oceans: the white gold toothfish from the Kerguelen Islands ON OFFER
Patagonian ‘White Gold’ Toothfish No idea what the Patagonians eat for the festive season, but if Christmas is about eating something special, then they should all be eating Qwehli’s toothfish! Despite their name, these succulent fish are actually caught off the French Kerguelen Islands and their meltingly soft texture, pearly white flesh and buttery almond flavour are sure to be a hit with everyone wanting a change from turkey.
This recipe uses products from two of my favourite suppliers: Qwehli and Sturia. Each complements the other giving the toothfish all the flavour of the deepest oceans together with the caviar. Speciales Gillardeau Rock Oysters
ON OFFER
French-farmed Oscietra Caviar
Bring that taste of ultimate luxury to UK tables with Sturia’s Oscietra Caviar. Their Gueldenstaedtil sturgeons are farmed in France using traditional methods to bring you only the most carefully selected caviar. Golden brown in colour, their delicate flavour is an explosion of marine notes and a touch of dried fruit … a taste of heaven for only the most prestigious tables.
Five generations of the Cadoret family have been farming oysters in the Marennes-Oléron to bring gourmets the best the ocean has to offer. And this is the best! Gillardeau oysters spend 9 months in an oyster park before being placed in bags and left to grow for 3 years in deep water. The nearly 4 years spent coming to the peak of perfection make these oysters truly exceptional and fit for only the most discerning palates.
Salish Salt Terre Exotique brings you this 100% natural salt, free of additives or preservatives. Harvested for more than a century from evaporation ponds on the Pacific coast of North America, it gets its name from the Salish Indian practice of smoking over red alder branches…

QUEEN OF THE SHOW Let’s give the traditional Christmas turkey an exquisite and refined twist this year
French Turkey Label Rouge
ON OFFER
I have been using TRUEfoods for many years; they have long been my ‘go-to’ and have let me recreate my recipes, perfectly and consistently, every time. With TRUEfoods you get consistency, convenience and great off-the-shelf stocks. BRAND
We have something to grace your table - Mieral’s free-range Label Rouge ‘Prince de Dombes’ turkey. The birds hatch in July and then live free-range for 150 days on French farms, gorging on a 100% vegetal diet rich in minerals, vitamins and cereals (80%). The result – juicy, tender flesh that will delight your diners.
Turkey Stock Russet autumn gold in colour, TRUEfoods turkey stock is made from 100% British Turkey Bones. Bones are sourced from a second-generation family-owned farm. The birds are raised in spacious open-sided barns with deep straw beds with access to plenty of fresh air and a grassy paddock. All birds are allowed to reach adult maturity and are reared free from growth promotors and antibiotics.
Smoked Alsace Bacon Take a piece of belly pork with a rich, full flavour, cure it for 2-3 weeks, then cold smoke for 18 days and you will end up with this wonderful bacon, aromatic with heady spices and wood-smoke overtones. Caramelise well to help bring out the depth of these flavours and you’re in for a treat.

For me the importance of working with animals that have been treated with the upmost respect is paramount. The effects of these processes, along with a strong family ethos shines through in the flavour profiles and quality of Mieral poultry.

Partridge with Brandy and Apple Surette Sauce by Vincent Menager Executive Chef at ME Hotel London
See full recipe on page 45

Apple Surette is my discovery of the year! I’ve never heard of it before but as soon as I tried it my mind start working on a million ways to use it. It’s great with game and savoury winter dishes where it brings both sweetness and a touch of sourness. What is more surprising is that it goes equally well with desserts and chocolate. Just amazing!
CHRISTMAS GAME
Don’t miss our partridge and our brand new Apple Surette for a mouth-watering main course Red-legged Partridge The red-legged or French partridge originates from southern Europe and is slightly larger than our native grey partridge, but still only half the size of a pheasant. The taste and texture of the red partridge meat is similar to chicken, but with a stronger, more gamey taste. The young birds are naturally the most tender and after being hung for just a few days the meat is full of flavour without being too gamey.
Such a joy to work with these partridges. Always consistent in size, aged to perfection and really ready to use, just as they are.
Pink Berries Discovered in South America, this ‘ fake’ pepper plant was brought to Madagascar in the 19th century. Hand-sorted by the local Malgash women, you need only to crush them gently between your fingers to release their aromas of coriander and burnt juniper then sprinkle over your dishes just before serving.
BRAND
Apple Surette Surette is a French-Canadian word used to describe a slightly acidic flavour. The La Surette company scours the North-American subcontinent to bring you flavours that tingle on the tongue obtained from plants and fruits encountered on a daily basis but largely unnoticed. Their Apple Surette is a condiment that’s sure to open up new culinary perspectives and add that little something extra to your dishes.
Greek Olive Oil Think quality olive oil; think Italian, French and Spanish! But have you ever tried Greek olive oil? Kalios spent months touring the Peloponnese in search of small producers of the highest-quality oils. They now offer 4 extra-virgin monovarietal olive oils, produced from hand harvested Koroneiki olives with very low acidity (between 0.16% and 0.38%).

Christmas Cheese Board Bordier has an amazing Christmas cheese selection. Delice de l’Ecureuil: This Camembert may have come straight from the farmhouse, but it’s all dressed up for Christmas! Unadulterated cream gives the cheese its smooth creamy centre with all the taste of a true Camembert plus crunchy walnuts and hazelnuts to titillate the taste buds. Douceur de Romans: Take a traditional cheese from Romans. Let it mature in Bordier’s caves for 10 days and then add honey and cinnamon. vaNectar for the festivities of the gods on Mount Olympus … Simply divine! Kalie: This goat cheese is made in the countryside around Rennes and brings you that indescribable taste of goat cheeses perfectly complemented by the black Kalamata olives layered through the cheese. Truffé du Dauphiné: All the creaminess of a PGI Saint Marcellin with the added pleasure of all the scents of the forest and wonderful truffles. What an end to a meal! Bemontois: Made with unpasteurised milk in the artisan dairy run since 1993 by Philippe Geinoz and his family in the French speaking part of Switzerland, this Tomme is a firm cheese with that perfect salt crystal texture and the delicate scent of warm milk. Hercule vieux: A wheel of this semi-firm, cooked and pressed cheese weighs in at 4 kg and ripening it for between 16 and 20 weeks probably accounts for its name – Old Hercules! It’s made in the Béarn from a mixture of goat’s and ewe’s milk, giving a smooth, melt-in-the-mouth cheese with aromas of warm milk and hazelnuts. For codes see page 34

Cheese, Butter and Bread
Chocolate Butter with Venezuela Cocoa Bean Chips You know herb butter, now try Bordier’s chocolate butter … Smell the rich, heady aroma of cocoa beans and the warm, flowery, spice-filled aromas of fine, crispy chocolate shavings. With just a hint of sweetness and absolutely no bitter notes, it is heavenly melting slowly over white meat, a fillet of duck, kidneys or scallops. And naturally you can use it as butter and spread it on your breads and brioches.
Butter with Roscoff Onions Bordier Butter with Roscoff AOP onions is the union of two everyday products very close to the heart of all Bretons: butter and the vital voluptuousness of the Roscoff onion, an earthly treat from the Breton city from which it gets its name. Sweet, salty, creamy … Difficult to describe but certain to captivate the taste buds. For codes see page 34

vBridor’s walnut and fruit breads are just perfect to accompany your Christmas cheese selection.
The walnut loaf from the Frédéric Lalos Collection is made from wheat and rye sourdough with large walnut pieces packed throughout the dough. This dark, versatile bread offers a touch of country rusticity and the perfect colour complement to all those pale cheeses. The fruit bread from Recette Lenôtre professionel is another must-have to serve with cheese. Made with wheat and rye flour, every bite is packed full of flavour with its hazelnuts, dried apricots and raisins. For codes see page 39

Making up between 5% and 6% of the total weight of a pod, the seeds contribute so much to the flavour and appearance of the finished product.

BARBECUED QWEHLI “WHITE GOLD” TOOTHFISH, GREEN OYSTER SAUCE, MELTING BRIE & STURIA OSCIETRA CAVIAR
To finish the consommé before serving: Infuse with fresh thyme Raw Madeira Dark soy Sea salt Halen Môn
by Pascal Aussignac
QUAIL French quails Caille de Chanteloup Remove the wings and legs and clean the inside of the birds. Discard the fat around the neck and under the skin near the breasts. Carefully singe any small hairs visible with a blowtorch. Heat 1l of brown chicken stock along with fresh thyme and crushed garlic. Bring the stock to a boil and gently place the birds in the stock. Remove the pan from the stove and poach for 3 minutes. Take the birds out of the stock and rest for 3 minutes. Pat them dry with a towel and season the outside of the bird and cavity with kosher salt. Roast the birds in a little oil, foaming butter and thyme until evenly caramelised. The objective is to have them still pink and perfectly moist. Let them rest for five minutes and then remove the breasts from the carcass. Remove the little fillet from the breast, this will leave a small groove so we can be generous with the foie gras and chicken mousse when assembling.

Put the oil in a frying pan, carefully crack in the duck eggs and cook for 2-3 mins or until fried to your liking. Serve the Bun’n’roll topped with a fried duck egg, the bacon, black pudding and a slice of tomato. Serve with the sauce of your choice.
Sift the ground almonds, flour and cocoa powder together. In a mixer, place the egg, sugar and sifted dry ingredients and whisk up. Prepare a meringue with the egg whites and sugar. Fold the meringue into the base mixture in 3 batches. Finally add the grapeseed oil. Spread on a tray and bake at 180°C for 6-8 minutes.

relax and chill overnight. The next morning take out the brioche and roll out into a 38 x 52cm x 4mm rectangle. Reserve in the fridge on a tray until needed.
CREME PATISSIERE
Hydrate the gelatine with the water (2) and mix together the sugar and pectin then set both aside. Heat the water (1) and glucose to 40°C, add the pectin mixture then the neutral glaze. Next add the cocoa powder and bring back to the boil. Remove from the heat and add the gelatine. Mix thoroughly and allow to set for 12 hours in the fridge. To use the glaze, reheat to 80°C and transfer to a spray gun.
ASSEMBLY Spread 450g of the chocolate crunchy onto the sponge while its still warm (around 40°C) and set aside. Once the crunchy is set spread a very thin layer of the orange confit and cut into 6.5cm x 55cm bands then stack all 4 bands together and gently press to stick them together. Place into the freezer. Take the precrystallised Ashanti cremeux and using a 10mm plain nozzle pipe a few long tubes along the band like spaghetti and place into the freezer. Once frozen solid prepare the mousse and fill two-thirds of the Valrhona Buche Mould then place the layered sponge insert inside, level off the base and keep in the freezer.
FINISHING To remove the cake from the Mould run hot water onto the plastic part for a few seconds and the buche should release (do not run under hot water for too long as it can melt the mousse). Once the buche is out of the Mould cut into three parts and place in the freezer to chill the surface to -18, heat the chocolate glaze to 80C and spray the buches. Once glazed place onto cake cards and using a brush dust a very fine layer of gold shimmer and then place PCB decorations on the ends. For the chocolate decor, temper dark chocolate and spread between two transfer sheets and leave to crystallise. Remove the decor from the transfer sheets and place onto the buche.

SWISS BRIOCHE
by Jamie Houghton Makes 3 tins
Take the rolled brioche dough out of fridge and spread the surface with the creme patissiere making sure to go right to the edges and working quickly as it will be easier to work with when it is cooler. Roll into a tight roll using the paper the brioche is on to help you and making the roll as tight as possible. Roll the baking paper (to help keep its shape) around the log and freeze. Once frozen, place on a chopping board and let it thaw for 20 minutes before slicing into 2cm wide pieces. Line the bottom of a 20 cm wide, 4cm deep non-fluted flan tin lined with baking paper. Place one slice of brioche in the middle of the tin and arrange 5 slices of brioche around the outside, placing the flattest edge towards the central piece of brioche. Let it prove until it has doubled in size and bake in a fan oven at 160°C for 15 -20 minutes until nicely golden brown. Once cooked take out of the oven and brush generously with the Cointreau syrup. Leave to cool and serve.
