Shopping for cookware in Paris is great!

Shopping for cookware in Paris is heavenly!
All the bigger shops are close together: There are 4 (!) shops on Rue Montmartre (Mora, La Bovida and two shops of A.Simon) and there´s one around the corner at Rue Tiquetonne that specialises in pastry equipment.(G.Detout)
A few 100 meters towards Les Halles is the 'institution' of Dehillerin in Rue Coquillère.

When you go shopping and you are a Le Cordon Bleu student, take your ID card with you for a discount !

Chef invité @ LCB - Dominique Dubray / a cuisine demonstration

Last Thursday was a slow day; Only one demo. So we decided to go to a cuisine demonstration of a non-LCB chef, a so called chef invité session. This time it was chef Dominique Dubray of the Pavillon Elysée in Paris.

He's a good friend and colleague of Marc Thivet, our chef in intermediate.
Because chef was a bit late, he didn't prepare the dessert;

Today's dishes were European crab with wakame seaweed and a lobster emulsion and herb crusted veal tenderloin stuffed with chanterelle mushrooms.

Different ingredients. Coloured carrots.

This demo was set up in the same way as we have our demo's at Cordon Bleu. You get the ingredients list and you have to write down the 'recipe'yourself. (I will not write the recipe details on the blog!)

Interesting starter!

The main course.

picture time!

Nice demo; Thank you chef !
