Grand-Htel du Cap-Ferrat, A Four Seasons Hotel, Launches Le Caps Christmas Takeaway
Chef Yoric Tiche wishes to make end-of-year celebrations more convivial than ever, with joyful family gatherings fully embracing the spirit of Christmas. Featuring seafood and Provenal specialities, Tiches festive menu is home-delivered, with nice dish descriptions provided to improve the gastronomic experience. Dishes are portioned and feature easy-to-assemble trimmings, presenting them very simple to put together at home.
The menu covers numerous traditional festive foods such as homemade IGP certified French duck foie gras, and home-smoked salmon from the Faroe Islands seasoned with pink pepper. The Chefs much-loved fish and seafood dishes take pride of place, including a half Breton blue lobster worked with Russian salad, Breton edges with Champagne buttered leeks and wild sole fillet with shellfish la marinire.
Meat lovers can opt for the free-range chicken breast with truffles. Pastry Chef Florent Margaillan, learned French Dessert Champion 2010, has created a Yule log encouraged by local Meyer lemons, highlighting the quality of citrus fruits in the area. Florent uses sustainably sourced lemons from Jolle Etiennes farm in the Var department. His log brings out the fruit's delicate, juicy taste, highlighting a shortbread, cream, biscuit, and soft and silky mousse, all made with lemon, complemented by a city infused with icy mint that is freshly picked from the Hotels herb garden.
Sweet tooths must not miss Florent Margaillans selection of traditional Christmas sweet delights, including his platter of 13 Provenal desserts, and a gingerbread-style Christmas cake with a lemon centre. A variety of gourmet assortment boxes completes the offer, with Christmas treats and chocolate truffles made with Florents signature 69 per cent dark chocolate, a bespoke combination created for the Grand-Htel du Cap-Ferrat by renowned French chocolate manufacturer Valrhona.
