Beetroot Cream

Difficulty: difficulty leveldifficulty leveldifficulty level

Preparation time: clock 50min.

This recipe is adapted from a book of verrine recipes. A “verrine” is a typically French confection that consists in layering different ingredients in a small glass (such as a shot glass) and that is usually consumed as a snack or appetizer. Verrines usually look great because you tend to create layers very different colors and textures. It has volume and it’s tasty if you know which ingredients work well with each others. I think that it’s an art that is difficult to master because you need to think about too many details and you have to be extra careful when pouring everything in the glass. But the result is usually worth it. Anyway, this beetroot cream was probably one of the easiest recipe of verrine and it was quite good too!

Creamy Leek Soup

Difficulty: difficulty leveldifficulty leveldifficulty level

Preparation time: clock 50min.

Now that winter is coming, with Bouchon we both have this crave for hot soups and we also like soups because they are vegetarian and healthy. This one is a bit of a fatty one though I guess, with all the cheese, cream and oil… But hey you have to fight winter cold somehow!! By the way, I know it looks exactly the same as my Vichyssoise, but it’s different =)

Vichyssoise

Preparation time: clock 1h30min.

Since it’s so hot here these days and we have a lot of vegetables from the garden, I made another refreshing soup which is eaten cold: the Vichyssoise. This origins of this soup are not exactly known, but it is French for sure!!

Gazpacho

Difficulty: difficulty leveldifficulty leveldifficulty level

Preparation time: clock 2h30min.

Gazpacho is a vegetables (mainly tomatoes) soup, originating from the South of Spain. It’s consumed cold, so it’s a perfect refreshing dish for hot summer days. There are many variations of gazpacho, but the one described here is the most typical (you can replace the tomatoes with avocados or cucumbers for a green version).
I want to thank my friend Claire for giving me the idea for this recipe!!
