On October 14th, our Chef Cyrille Robert and his lieutenant Aurélien Baudet once again agreed to open the doors of their realm to our members for a cuisine course. The “show” took place in the cuisines of the Saint James Paris and was, as usual, sold out. Participants could watch every step needed in the concoction of various autumn velvety soups before tasting them: Velouté de panais, potimarron sauté à la noix de muscade et noisettes torréfiées, Soupe de betterave tradition et noix de Saint-Jacques, Crème de châtaignes aux cèpes et magret de canard fumé.
Our Chef told he was astonished by the attention and the outstanding curiosity of participants. Their many precise questions are probably a sign that a lot of exceptional family meals will be prepared in Paris in the coming months…
As there is no other way to end an afternoon in fall, the cuisine lesson ended with a teatime at our Library-Bar.
The making of velvety soups is a real art that should be learnt as young as possible. This is certainely the position of our youngest Chef-to-be who set a record in the age of the participants in our cuisine lessons. Judge by yourself!
