Only an elite group of chefs holds two Michelin stars. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:09 | |
Michel Roux Junior is one of them. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
Two Saint Jacques au passe now. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
He has given us a taste of how to create the great classics. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:20 | |
Tonight is the masterclass. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
Perfect. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
Michel Roux Junior was born into a culinary dynasty | 0:00:35 | 0:00:40 | |
and continues his family's tradition of excellence. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:44 | |
I've worked for Chef Michel for over three years now. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:48 | |
You can just see in his face | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
and his emotion that he is so passionate about what he does and how he executes dishes. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:56 | |
Just watching him work is fantastic. It's effortless and just flows like clockwork. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:03 | |
He can multitask no problem. Even for a male! | 0:01:03 | 0:01:08 | |
The first dish I'm going to do is a consomme de boeuf a la royale. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:17 | |
A beef consomme served with a royale, which is a custard. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
This particular consomme I once saw served at the Elysee Palace for a special banquet. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:29 | |
The consomme royale, it is stunningly superb. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:34 | |
I still don't think any chef could top it like Chef Michel does. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:40 | |
This is extravagance. It's a consomme taken to the ultimate level. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:47 | |
First of all we have to make the garnish. This is obviously a savoury custard, not a sweet custard. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:58 | |
Single cream, egg yolk. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
Seasoning - salt, white pepper. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
Then we just pour this custard into the Dariole moulds. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:12 | |
We then put a little bit of water in here. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
The Dariole moulds get covered in aluminium foil and go in a medium oven, around 120 degrees centigrade. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:24 | |
So we've got our stock. The next job is to intensify the flavours using chopped vegetables and the beef. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:34 | |
Carrot, shallot, celery, | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
beetroot, tomato | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
and mushrooms. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
Now for the beef. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
All the chopped vegetables, chopped beef in the bowl. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:55 | |
And we're going to add some egg white. Just a little bit. | 0:02:55 | 0:03:00 | |
And mix it all up. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
A consomme is always a clear soup. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:06 | |
To make the soup clear, you have to clarify it - remove the impurities. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:11 | |
The protein cooking from the raw beef and the egg white catches all the impurities in the stock | 0:03:11 | 0:03:18 | |
and they make a thick cake on the top. See the cake is starting to form? | 0:03:18 | 0:03:24 | |
Just coming up to simmer. It's all setting. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
Now I'm going to flavour the consomme with a bit of Madeira to add sweetness and colour to it. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:37 | |
And a little bit of salt. It has to carry on cooking very, very gently. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:45 | |
The second garnish that I want with the consomme is little balls of vegetable. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:54 | |
These are going to look like little pearls in our consomme. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:02 | |
-You look fed up. -No, no, I'm watching and learning. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:10 | |
-Maybe I can pull something off like that. -You've done consomme here before. -Not like that. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:17 | |
Right. The consomme has been simmering for about 15, 20 minutes | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
and you can see this top here of set egg white. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:25 | |
It's lifted all the impurities out of the consomme. 15 minutes ago that was cloudy. Now crystal clear. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:32 | |
We now need to gently pass the consomme through a fine muslin cloth. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:39 | |
Mmm. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:51 | |
Crystal clear. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
The little custards have been resting now and they should be quite manageable and easy to get out. | 0:04:54 | 0:05:02 | |
There they are. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
Now I'm just going to decorate the custard with a bit of pure, edible gold leaf. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:11 | |
It's very extravagant, but this is what's going to make it royal. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:19 | |
This gold leaf doesn't really have a taste, but it's beautiful | 0:05:19 | 0:05:24 | |
and some say it's an aphrodisiac. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
Ideally, I want this to be... That's it. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:35 | |
We're nearly there. Got a lovely, generous spoonful of caviar on top. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:49 | |
And, finally, the consomme. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
Mmmm. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:11 | |
Beautiful, crystal clear consomme with the vegetables | 0:06:11 | 0:06:15 | |
and gold-covered custard. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
Consomme de boeuf a la royale. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
Beef consomme fit for a king! | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
This is a particular favourite of mine. I remember cooking this for my daughter's christening, | 0:06:35 | 0:06:41 | |
many years ago. The classic recipe is calamars farcis au riz sauvage. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:47 | |
Calamari or squid stuffed with wild rice. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
It's not easy to get right | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
or to elevate it to fine dining. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
The first job is to drain this wild rice and cook it like a pilaf rice, | 0:07:01 | 0:07:05 | |
with chopped onion, but I'm going to add peppers to that and saffron. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:10 | |
And then we're going to add our lobster stock. The stock has already been warmed through. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:19 | |
This comes up to a boil as quickly as we can, lid on, | 0:07:19 | 0:07:23 | |
and into the oven. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
There we go. Next job... | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
We're going to steam the mussels. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:34 | |
Steam them in a little bit of dry white wine. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:37 | |
They're cooked. Put them on the side. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:47 | |
The rice has been in the oven 20-25 minutes | 0:07:47 | 0:07:51 | |
and has absorbed all that liquid. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:54 | |
To the wild rice we add the egg yolk to bind it, to help set this rice in the squid. | 0:07:54 | 0:08:01 | |
It's vital that it's like this and not too wet. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:07 | |
If it's too wet, it won't hold. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
Now we take the squid and we're going to fill it with the wild rice, but you have to be patient | 0:08:12 | 0:08:18 | |
and push it in without damaging the squid, without making any holes. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:23 | |
And then...sealed | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
with this little wooden stick. There we go. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:33 | |
That is ready to poach now in the lobster and mussel stock. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
And... | 0:08:38 | 0:08:39 | |
our lovely squid goes in there. It's going to take no more than about 10 minutes. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:46 | |
This is the head of the squid, the lovely tentacles. I've removed the beak because it's inedible. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:53 | |
Fry these little tentacles here. They spit. That's the idea. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:59 | |
And whilst they're cooking, I want to take out the squid. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:04 | |
And leave that to drain and rest and just firm up that lovely egg yolk and rice before I cut it. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:11 | |
The final garnish for this dish - the mussels. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:16 | |
Just toss them in a little bit of garlic butter. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:21 | |
We are now ready. The moment of truth - cutting the squid. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:25 | |
I'm shaking. It's that time. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |
Mm, that looks good. It's holding. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:46 | |
Still holding! And one more slice. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:54 | |
This one's the most delicate slice. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
That looks very good. Very pleased. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:05 | |
OK. Time to plate up. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:09 | |
Tentacles... | 0:10:24 | 0:10:26 | |
Our mussels. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
And, finally, a few drops of the sauce. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:37 | |
And that, for me, sings of the Mediterranean. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:47 | |
It's got class. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:49 | |
This takes me back a few years and pulls strings of my heart. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:56 | |
This classic dish is one of my all-time favourites. It's poulet de Bresse en vessie. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:16 | |
Bresse chicken, the king of all chickens, cooked in a pig's bladder. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:20 | |
Cooking in a pig's bladder has been going on for centuries. Modern chefs use water baths and vacuum pouches. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:32 | |
It's nothing new. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
For this I'm going to use a poulet de Bresse, which is north of Lyon. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:42 | |
It's a very famous area for its poultry. They are glorious chickens, but not cheap. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:48 | |
They are very expensive. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:51 | |
The chicken cooked in pig's bladder is another classic to the restaurant. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:57 | |
It's one of those iconic dishes that's spectacular when it's served. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:03 | |
The lovely poulet, topped with truffles and rich Madeira sauce. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:08 | |
What more could you ask for? | 0:12:08 | 0:12:10 | |
Pigs' bladders are sold dried like this. It needs to soak for a couple of hours to make it supple | 0:12:13 | 0:12:20 | |
and pliable. It doesn't... It doesn't smell bad. It just smells a bit piggy. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:26 | |
This is going to impair a lovely taste to whatever we cook. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:30 | |
First of all you take the wings, head and feet off. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:34 | |
And then we proceed to take the giblets out. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:43 | |
We then run our knife each side of the wishbone to remove that. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:48 | |
It makes it easier to carve afterwards. There we go. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:53 | |
Next step, we want to put some truffles under the skin. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:57 | |
Very, very gently run your finger underneath the skin, | 0:12:57 | 0:13:02 | |
but being very, very careful not to break that skin. A few drops of olive oil on the truffle. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:09 | |
That will help to slide these slices of beautiful mushroom under the skin. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:17 | |
In French we call this poulet demi deuil - a chicken in mourning - because you can see the black. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:27 | |
We have strange ways of describing food in France, but I think it's very appropriate. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:34 | |
Then we move on to our bladder. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:37 | |
Turn it... | 0:13:37 | 0:13:39 | |
a little bit like this. Open it up. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:44 | |
The chicken | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
sits... | 0:13:47 | 0:13:48 | |
inside. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:50 | |
We now need to add white chicken stock. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:57 | |
A little bit of truffle juice. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:00 | |
Now...a bit of Madeira. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
What I do now is knot this. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:09 | |
To make doubly sure, we get a bit of string around there | 0:14:11 | 0:14:15 | |
because the last thing we want is for any of that steam to escape. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:20 | |
The chicken now needs to go into simmering water for 75 minutes, | 0:14:20 | 0:14:25 | |
just gently steaming in its own lovely little bag. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:28 | |
Wonderful. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
Every now and then, just give it a little turn, so that we're getting the chicken to cook on both sides. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:42 | |
But it's very important that it should be just, just ticking over | 0:14:42 | 0:14:47 | |
As the chicken is poaching, I'll make the sauce | 0:14:47 | 0:14:50 | |
which is a sauce made with the wings the feet and the neck that we've kept. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:55 | |
A few shallots... | 0:14:55 | 0:14:57 | |
The shallots have got just a little bit of colour, more truffle juice... | 0:14:57 | 0:15:02 | |
More Madeira. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:07 | |
Madeira and truffle juice, just, hmm, a perfect, perfect match! | 0:15:10 | 0:15:14 | |
The Madeira and truffle juice has reduced down. Now we put some chicken stock... | 0:15:14 | 0:15:19 | |
We then strain that out | 0:15:22 | 0:15:26 | |
and we're going to get all the flavours. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:28 | |
So we have the cooking juice, the basis of our sauce here. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:32 | |
Now I'm going to add the cream and boil it down until it's that required thickness. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:38 | |
The sauce is almost ready. It just needs to come up to the boil and reduce down a bit. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:43 | |
The chicken has been cooking for an hour and 15. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
It hasn't leaked. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:52 | |
You can see all the liquid in there. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
In the restaurant, it would come out to the diner like this, | 0:15:54 | 0:15:59 | |
presented to the customer as is. I think it looks beautiful. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:04 | |
A skilled maitre d' would whip it open, reveal the chicken. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:08 | |
The wonderful smells and aromas fill the restaurant. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:11 | |
All the guests of the restaurant have got a whiff of this | 0:16:11 | 0:16:15 | |
and they go round and look and they think, "Wow, what is he eating? I want to order that." | 0:16:15 | 0:16:21 | |
That's the effect this dish has on the customer. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:24 | |
Here we go. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:29 | |
We reveal the chicken. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:34 | |
The smell is just unbelievable, unbelievable. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:38 | |
I always serve this in a deep bowl. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:48 | |
You need plenty of sauce, plenty of juice. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:53 | |
The drumstick... | 0:16:56 | 0:16:58 | |
And finally, this lovely cream sauce just a few drops. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:10 | |
It really doesn't get much better than this. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:19 | |
This dish is immense. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:22 | |
For me, this is simplicity. It's what I was brought up on. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:26 | |
It's great, classic cuisine. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
I'll now cook a pied de cochon farci aux morilles - pig's trotter stuffed with morels and sweetbreads. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:46 | |
Pig's trotters need long, slow cooking to render down that collagen | 0:17:53 | 0:17:57 | |
and the skin to make it tender. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:00 | |
This is delicious. It's a true delicacy. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:05 | |
Not for the faint-hearted. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:07 | |
Here we have the pig's trotter, so we are literally going to take the bone out, but leave it whole. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:21 | |
I first came across this dish many years ago, cooking for a great chef called Pierre Koffmann. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:29 | |
He could bone out a pig's trotter in under a minute. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:35 | |
To bone out a pig's trotter without piercing the skin, | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
it's a very good demonstration of the chef's butchery skills. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:44 | |
You see chef Michel, | 0:18:44 | 0:18:47 | |
he's so precise and accurate, | 0:18:47 | 0:18:50 | |
managing to not nick even the slightest bit of skin. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:54 | |
So we have a lovely, clean trotter. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:04 | |
The next job is to prepare a mirepoix. "Mirepoix" means an aromatic vegetable garnish | 0:19:04 | 0:19:10 | |
to cook or braise the pig's trotter on. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:14 | |
And now for the port. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
And now stock goes on top. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:22 | |
It comes to the boil, put a lid on and into a medium heat oven | 0:19:22 | 0:19:26 | |
for about an hour and a half, sometimes two. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:29 | |
Now that the pig's trotter is in the oven cooking, I can make the chicken mousse for the stuffing. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:35 | |
Take your chicken supreme, remove the skin. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:38 | |
And it then gets blitzed with a little bit of egg white. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:44 | |
So now we have to press this chicken paste through a fine sieve, | 0:19:54 | 0:19:58 | |
so there are no more impurities and no sinew or pieces of bone. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:03 | |
That's it. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:12 | |
I've put this chicken puree in a bowl over ice to keep it nice and cold, | 0:20:17 | 0:20:23 | |
so we can beat in the double cream. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:26 | |
Beat that in gently, so there are no lumps. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:33 | |
This mousse has to be light and airy, | 0:20:33 | 0:20:37 | |
but strong enough to bind all the ingredients together to go into the pig's trotter. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:42 | |
That's it. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:51 | |
I'll wrap up this chicken mousse and keep it cold and prepare the rest of the stuffing. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:56 | |
The stuffing is made up of sweetbreads, fresh butter... | 0:20:56 | 0:21:00 | |
..shallots | 0:21:02 | 0:21:04 | |
and a few dried morels. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:08 | |
Hmm, that smells beautiful! | 0:21:09 | 0:21:12 | |
I remember as a kid eating sweetbreads and it was one of my favourite dishes that my mum cooked | 0:21:12 | 0:21:18 | |
braised sweetbreads with saffron. She used to make fresh pasta with that and a cream sauce. Delicious! | 0:21:18 | 0:21:25 | |
That's it. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:28 | |
This is piping hot | 0:21:31 | 0:21:33 | |
and you can't mix that into the cold mousse or it will spli the mousse completely. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:38 | |
Once it's ice-cold, fold it in together. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
Good. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:48 | |
Our pig's trotter should be cooked. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:51 | |
You take it out the oven and you can immediately smell that lovely pork and port wine. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:57 | |
It smells beautiful. | 0:21:57 | 0:21:59 | |
And it's easy to push the point of a knife through, so it's tender, it's fully cooked. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:05 | |
Now we can stuff our trotter. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:11 | |
As you can see, we open it up and fill that cavity with the stuffing | 0:22:11 | 0:22:16 | |
and roll it up to its original shape... | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |
..making sure it's nice and tight. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:25 | |
And in it goes to the steamer | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
for about 20 minutes, | 0:22:30 | 0:22:32 | |
just enough time to cook that stuffing through. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:36 | |
With the pig's trotter, you have to take care because obviously it's stuffed, | 0:22:36 | 0:22:41 | |
so you need to make sure that that's not overcooked, | 0:22:41 | 0:22:45 | |
but the pig's trotter is very tender. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:49 | |
If you get served a tough pig's trotter, you're chasing it all around the plate. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:53 | |
Oh, yes! | 0:23:06 | 0:23:08 | |
That is the perfect pig's trotter, absolutely beautiful, | 0:23:09 | 0:23:13 | |
back to its original shape, except it's fully cooked, | 0:23:13 | 0:23:17 | |
lovely and tender on the outside and stuffed with delicious morels and sweetbreads. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:22 | |
All it needs now is a big dollop of creamy mashed potato. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:29 | |
And a tiny drizzle | 0:23:31 | 0:23:33 | |
of this lovely, sweet, sticky sauce. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:36 | |
To me, this is what comfort food is all about. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:48 | |
It's sticky, it's sweet, it's delicious. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:53 | |
A great classic, | 0:23:56 | 0:23:58 | |
a lot of work, but well worth it. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:01 | |
This dish would have to be one of those that sits at the top of my list in favourite dishes. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:20 | |
The bitter chocolate and raspberry tart. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:27 | |
Chocolate is indulgent and special. It has to tick all the boxes of a great dessert, | 0:24:27 | 0:24:33 | |
the ultimate pleasure, and it has to look beautiful. It has to scream out, "Eat me!" | 0:24:33 | 0:24:38 | |
The first job is the sweet pastry - sifted flour, | 0:24:42 | 0:24:45 | |
the soft butter in the centre along with the sugar. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:49 | |
The egg yolk... | 0:24:50 | 0:24:52 | |
A tiny pinch of salt. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:56 | |
Now we start to bring in the flour, | 0:24:56 | 0:24:58 | |
using the fingertips, a delicate touch. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:01 | |
So once you have achieved this kind of a sandy texture, | 0:25:03 | 0:25:09 | |
now you take the palm of your hand and you're pushing away. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:13 | |
This is not kneading, but it's bringing the dough together. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:17 | |
I did my apprenticeship at the age of 16, | 0:25:19 | 0:25:22 | |
learning how to make beautiful pastries in a shop in Paris. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:26 | |
It takes years of experience. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:29 | |
That's it, that's the consistency we want. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:32 | |
It's wrapped in clingfilm, so that it doesn't dry out. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:36 | |
That goes in the fridge quickly. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:38 | |
Now we need to get the ganache on, so the liquid glucose goes into the pan | 0:25:39 | 0:25:45 | |
with the cream, brought up to the boil. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:48 | |
Take the pan off the heat. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:52 | |
We incorporate the bitter chocolate and the butter. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:55 | |
This makes a really beautiful, rich, shiny ganache, | 0:25:55 | 0:26:00 | |
so we can leave that there and come back to it later. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:04 | |
20 minutes later, the sweet paste should be set and ready to roll. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:09 | |
The pastry should be about two millimetres thick. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:13 | |
So now I'm going to put this in the oven to bake at 180 degrees centigrade for about 15, 20 minutes. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:24 | |
It has to be fully cooked. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:26 | |
Now the base is cool and we can put our raspberries in here. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:34 | |
The chocolate ganache... | 0:26:36 | 0:26:39 | |
Hmm! | 0:26:48 | 0:26:50 | |
Just shake it a bit. That's it. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:56 | |
Now quickly into the blast-chiller or the fridge to set. I don't want it solid. | 0:26:56 | 0:27:01 | |
When I cut into it, it has to be soft. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:04 | |
This is a dessert. It has to be beautiful and fun. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:09 | |
Now... | 0:27:18 | 0:27:20 | |
Hmm! | 0:27:20 | 0:27:21 | |
That's great. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:24 | |
You can see the raspberries, that lovely chocolate ganache. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:27 | |
And the pastry is not too thick, but cooked all the way through. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:31 | |
Little bit of coulis - I think it works really well. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:44 | |
Nice colour. Now for the chocolate decorations. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:48 | |
There we go. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:53 | |
It's extravagant, it's fun, but above all, it's delicious. | 0:27:53 | 0:27:57 | |
All these classics are a very important part of my life. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:10 | |
That's why it's such a joy to cook them. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:20 | |
