ENCORE MERCIS PARIS VIVE LEXTRAVAGANCE

I JUST LOVE PARIS
I MEAN
We have been using a plain crispy jasmine rice to go with the kampachi. The jasmine rice is rinsed only once to keep some of the natural starch, then cooked in the rice cooker with salt and water until it is soft. We spread the rice on a silpat and dry it in a combi oven at a low temperature with the fan on high for about 3 hours. Then we let it dry naturally at room temperature. We fry it to order the next day as needed.


Junior calls himself the specialist of the crispy rice. We have two Jasons in the kitchen, and this one is the youngest, so we call him Junior. When someone else makes it he always said it is not as good as his, and makes sure I am fully aware of it. A couple of weeks ago I asked Junior to see what happens when you add squid ink to the rice. The rice does not turn 100% black, but it is very flavorful and is just as light as the plain one. We used it with a sweet bread-Surune Ika dish and might use it again in the future with a different preparation.

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
