Sautéed Chicken à la Ronsard

This recipe is inspired by a forgotten classic from an old Australian cookbook by Suzanne Gibbs, tracing its roots to a now-closed Parisian hotel, Hôtel du Rouge. It’s a humble yet elegant dish—chicken sautéed with a generous pour of cognac and white wine, gently simmered with shallots, garlic, carrots, and a touch of tomato, then finished with a cream-enriched sauce.

CRÊPES FLAMBÉES

The iconic crêpes flambées are made à la minute, flambéed in a syrup of lemon and orange juice, sugar, Grand Marnier and cognac. Impress guests with this dessert by flambéing the crêpes on a trivet sur la table and wait for the applause.

CORSICAN RAGOUT

First the beef is braised and slow-cooked in the oven, similar to the Beef Bourguignon. However, the sauce is then separated from the beef and stirred through macaroni, creating a pasta dish that is served alongside the ragout.

30 CLOVES GARLIC CHICKEN

In my signature dish, garlics are slow cooked in their sleeves along with chicken, wine, and cognac. To finish, I add cream to create a delicious instant sauce that complements the dish perfectly.
