KALE

I have to admit that I discovered kale at the green market in Unions Square, NYC, when I first arrived from France, along with other products like fiddelhead ferns, ramps and 20 different varieties of squashes.
Kale is widely cultivated in North America and in the northern part of Europe. It is a highly nutritious vegetable that grows in colder climates. Fall is the season to use it. I do like the sweetness of the leaf with a hint of a mild cabbage flavor. Young leaves, prepared as a salad are my favorite. In the same family of flavors I like braised broccoli and roasted cauliflower because they exude wonderfully caramelized flavor.
Farmer Jones in Ohio is cultivating these interesting exotic kale leaves with a bright purple color. They of course come in five different sizes in little boxes. These young leaves are very mild and turn out to be a well balanced combination with seafood. They bring a hint of cabbage to scallop, lobster or a braised fish bring in the combination. But kale remains a component where just few bites are satisfying.

Les fraises Sarah Bernhardt d’Escoffier chez Benoit Paris « Rendre hommage au plus grand cuisiner français du 19e, c’est un devoir de mémoire » nous raconte Eric Azoug, le chef du restaurant Benoit. Cet été les clients du restaurant pourront découvrir un dessert d’Auguste Escoffier : « Les fraises Sarah Bernhardt ». Inspiré par la célèbre comédienne, ce dessert est une petite merveille de douceur et de fraîcheur... Les fraises sont mises à macérer dans le curaçao, elles sont ensuite dressées en timbale au moment de servir, sur un socle de mousse glacée au curaçao et accompagnées d’un sorbet à l'ananas. www.benoit-paris.com
