The city of Lyon has always been known as the gastronomic capital of France. Thanks to its location, restaurants and chefs have access to the freshest ingredients, making it easier for them to hold on to this strong culinary title.

I will cook this for you in this box, accompanied, of course, by the iconic pommes Lyonnaise!

~~~~~ Honey, I'm Home ~~~~~
.
When we talk about ingredients in cooking that have a long history, honey is one that tops my list.
The Egyptians were one of the first to produce honey, using them many ways not only in cooking but as well as in their medicines.
Here in Australia, we are very lucky to have a great range of fantastic honey. For this meal box's dessert, I will use a local one (specifically 6006 from @postcode_honey). It has beautiful floral notes, which matches perfectly with the lavender infused crème anglaise.

~~~ The Art Of Curing ~~~
.
Curing was a method initially used for the purpose of preservation and to lengthen the shelf life of the protein.
Now, it not only does that, it is also a way to add extra flavour to it.
A standard cure mix is a combination of salt and sugar, but I enjoy adding other seasoning, citrus or herbs to it depending on the protein used.
For FATHER'S DAY weekend, in our entrée of cured beef, I'll be adding a mix of different peppercorns to give it a good kick.
.
🐂 Entrée 🐂
cured grass fed beef fillet // celeriac // confit cumquat // radish // cashew
🐔 Main 🐔
Mt Barker chicken maryland filled with chicken mousse // shimeji mushroom // pumpkin purée // pickled red onion // jalepeño, honey, lime, chilli braising jus
🥖 mini baguette
🍫 Dessert 🍫 (with or without FATHER'S DAY topper)
raspberry & dark chocolate brownie petit gateau // red fruit coulis // milk chocolate & hazelnut "pocky" sticks
.
Each box costs only $50 per person (minimum order for 2 people)
Includes free delivery, within 15km of Perth CBD (delivery outside this zone available for an additional fee).
📷: Pictured are our suggested plated portion for 1 person

~~~ Under The Crust ~~~
.
What is the difference between a pie and a pithivier? It is the type of pastry used as well as the texture of the filling itself.
Whilst a pie is usually made with shortcrust, the pithivier is made with puff pastry.
The filling of a pie is generally either shredded or minced whereas in a pithivier, it usually contains chunky meat or vegetables.
What they do have in common is that they are both a delicious, hearty dish, perfect for winter!
This weekend, our pithivier has flavours of Provence to help transport you to warmth of the south of France 🌞
.
🦐 Entrée 🦐
baked polenta with prawn & salmon mousse // pickled daikon // saffron escabeche // salmon roe
🥧 Main 🥧
slow cooked lamb pithivier // parmesan & courgette gratin // green olive & lemon confit condiment // toasted buckwheat // braising jus
🥖 mini baguette
🍊 Dessert 🍊
mandarin & pistachio entremet // dried fruit compote // black sesame crisp // crème anglaise

~~ Some Legends Never Die ~~
.
I'm sure everyone has heard the story of the tarte Tatin's origin. How a simple fix to a clumsy mistake has now become one of the most famous desserts in French cooking.
How we all wish our mistakes would all have such a positive outcome too! 😀
There are many versions of this famous dish. For this weekend's box, I will substitute the puff pastry for a sablé Breton giving it an extra buttery goodness, perfect with the caramelised apples.
💥‼️MANJIMUP TRUFFLE ALERT‼️💥

~~ Long Live The Kir Royal ~~
Growing up, my family would start celebrations for Bastille Day with a glass of Kir Royal, a simple cocktail made of crème de cassis (blackcurrant liqueur) and champagne.
I always found it too sweet as a drink, so now when I celebrate Bastille Day, a glass of good champagne on it's own is my go-to.
Having said that, I think the flavour combination works well in a dessert.
So for this year's Bastille Day meal box, our bistro menu will feature a dessert where I use blackcurrant and champagne to make a crémeux.
🇨🇵🧨 AVAILABLE JUST FOR SUNDAY 14TH JULY 🇨🇵🧨
We have a private function booked next weekend. Normally when this is the case, we don't offer our delivered meal boxes.
However, I feel it would be a little unpatriotic if I didn't offer it on Bastille Day itself 😁
So next weekend's box will only be available on Sunday 14th July.
🥣 Entrée 🥣
traditional French onion soup // toasted croutons // Gruyère cheese
🐔 Main 🐔
classic "coq au vin" // bacon // mushrooms // glazed shallots // baby vegetables // potato gratin
🍾 Dessert 🍾
Kir Royal crémeux & vanilla petit gateau // carré au chocolate noir
.
Each box costs only $50 per person (minimum order for 2 people)
Includes free delivery, within 15km of Perth CBD (delivery outside this zone available for an additional fee)

~~ When In Doubt, Add More Sauce ~~
.
During my time at cooking school, we had a book which had over 250 different sauces recipes in it, each with a different name. After the mammoth task of learning them by heart, we were told that we could use some of them to create other 'new' sauces.
Even now, I still do this often. In this weekend's box, I've taken the classic orange sauce and added some blood orange juice and spices to it. Whilst the gastrique base is the same, the result just has that extra little 'oomph' which I think pairs really well with the confit duck leg.
This is part of reason why I enjoy cooking so much! It is always evolving and allows your creative 'sauces'😉 (juices) to flow.
🧀 Entrée 🧀
goat cheese & red capsicum bavarois // shaved fennel, parsley & chive condiment // citrus dressing
🦆 Main 🦆
confit duck leg // pumpkin purée // braised lentils // date, lime & ginger relish // blood orange reduction
🍫 Dessert 🍫
dark chocolate, vanilla & praline entremet // hazelnut 'gold nugget' // soft caramel
.
Each box costs only $50 per person (minimum order for 2 people)

~~~~~ Pretty In Pink ~~~~~
.
🔥🔥 Choice of 3 delivery days over the WA Day Long Weekend!! 🔥🔥
.
Before we come to the end of the season for fresh guava, I thought I'll feature it in this weekend's box.
I think it is an under-rated fruit, not commonly seen on menus. Not only is it delicious but it is also considered as a super fruit because of its high vitamin content.
My favourite is the pink guava. It gives a beautiful colour and hints of tropical fruit and strawberry notes.
🍄 Entrée 🍄
artichoke & mushroom parfait // celeriac rémoulade // barigoule dressing
🐷 Main 🐷
pork loin wrapped in prosciutto // asparagus // spiced tomato relish // pomme purée // maple braising jus
🥭 Dessert 🥭
pink guava mousse & mango crémeux // pineapple marmalade // almond & pistachio pavé
