If you’re still stuck for ideas for your Christmas dinner, or just want to impress your guests, don’t panic! Here’s a quick and original idea. The Cookin’theWorld website offers a ready-to-cook Christmas basket. The menu is concocted by Christophe Moisand, a Michelin-starred chef since 1999. He owns his own restaurant, Céladon, just a stone’s throw from Place Vendôme. The site challenged him to create a gourmet menu that could be easily prepared at home.
And here is the menu that the chef has concocted:
– Appetizer: Delicious velouté and chips of Jerusalem artichokes with hazelnut, foie gras royale.
– Main course: Tender supremes of free-range poultry with truffles, poultry cream, grey shallots stuffed with pommes Duchesses.
– Dessert: All-chocolate choux pastries with almonds, raspberry heart and Madagascar vanilla whipped cream.
This innovative concept is not just a holiday event. It extends all year round. Founded in 2012 Cookin’theWorld is a French website created by three young entrepreneurs. Its principle: sell baskets including everything you need to make balanced, gourmet recipes at home. A way to get rid of the chore of shopping!
Each week, different baskets are made up of fresh, seasonal produce from Rungis. And to make life easier for its customers, Cookin’theWorld delivers the baskets right to their door. A revolutionary way of shopping that answers the eternal question “What’s for dinner? Once delivered, the basket can be used to prepare 3 meals for 2 to 6 people. Menus are varied and original. Gourmets are guided step by step through the recipes, developed by Cookin’theWorld chef Céline Nguyen. To take your taste buds on the road, a world cuisine basket is also available, along with gift vouchers.
Is it cheaper than shopping yourself? Compare! You’ll need around 45 Euros for a basket for two people, or 7.5 Euros per meal per person. A special Christmas meal costs 149 Euros for 6 people, or 25 Euros per person. A reasonable price and an easy way to spend the festive season!
