Guérande Fleur de Sel
Formed only on dry windy days, this crystalline film floating on the surface of salt pans is harvested by hand. Its inverted pyramid structure, very rich in magnesium and highly hygroscopic (it retains moisture), gives it an extraordinary crunch. It dissolves slowly on the tongue. Culinary chemistry forbids cooking it: it is the ultimate "finishing" salt, bringing punctuated bursts of sapidity (saline contrast) to a seared steak or a praline chocolate.
Kamado-Smoked Wagyu, Heritage Pork & Potimarron Parmentier
A gastronomic deconstruction of the traditional shepherd's pie. Wagyu chuck and pork collar are slow-smoked in the kamado to develop a bark rich in Maillard reactions, then braised until complete gelatinization of their collagen. Topping it off, a roasted potimarron mash, emulsified with rendered Wagyu fat, offers a silky texture and natural sweetness that balances the meaty intensity.
French-Style Kamado Pulled Pork
A 'Low and Slow' masterclass. This French-style interpretation breaks away from overly sweet marinades to focus on the purity of the product: the alchemical transformation of collagen into melt-in-the-mouth gelatin. The slow wood smoking on the kamado elevates the raw meat, creating a deeply savory crust (the 'bark') through a prolonged Maillard reaction.
Vacuum-Compressed Strawberry Tart
A contemporary reinterpretation of the classic strawberry tart. Using the vacuum compression technique, the air within the fruit's cells is expelled and replaced by the essential oils of basil and lime, offering a meaty, translucent texture and an aromatic explosion without any heat alteration.
8-Hour Kamado Confit Lamb Shanks
A masterful interpretation of 8-hour lamb, where delicate cherry wood smoking in the kamado precedes an extremely slow braise. The collagen breakdown yields spoon-tender meat, coated in a rich jus, accompanied by a silky celeriac mousseline.
Kamado-Grilled Green Asparagus, White Miso Umami Sabayon
A flash cook at very high temperature on the Kamado's cast-iron grates to trigger instant caramelization while preserving the asparagus's cellular crunch. The dish is cloaked in a warm, dense, and deeply umami sabayon, achieved through the incorporation of fermented white miso paste.
Pressure-Roasted Carrot Velouté, Brown Butter and Ginger
A spectacular modernist approach: the Maillard reaction is accelerated under high pressure in an alkaline environment to achieve intense roasted notes, bound in a silky emulsion with brown butter infused with fresh ginger.
Exceptional Homemade Nociolata
A meticulous approach where gentle roasting and ultra-fine grinding of hazelnuts elevate this spread. A highly fluid texture and pure taste, without artifice.
Sous-Vide Wagyu Osso Buco & Silky Saffron Polenta
A modernist reinterpretation of a Milanese monument. The Wagyu beef shank, elevated by a 48-hour sous-vide cooking, offers an extraordinary melt-in-the-mouth texture where collagen transforms into gelatin without drying out the muscle fibers. The dish is supported by an aerated blender polenta and a deeply umami mirror jus.
