The Chefs' Challenge

The chefs of the gaillardia tables accept the Challenge launched by Brive Tourisme

Our chefs from Tables Gaillardes took up the challenge launched by Brive Tourisme with flying colours.

The challenge :

Because we are greedy and proud of our local products, we have been offering you Les Recettes Gaillardisés for three seasons. Entirely concocted by the Brive Tourisme team, this program offered you traditional or original recipes giving pride of place to local specialties (such as mique, semi-cooked foie gras, millassou or clafouti which you can find in our dedicated section).

A tribe of happy cooks, gathered under the banner of Tables Gaillardes, offered us to take on and ensure a new collection of easy-to-make, creative recipes using local products!

What a treat to benefit from their incredible expertise and know-how, but be careful, as we like challenges, Brive Tourisme has set conditions.

Constraints : 

Everyone will work with a specific ingredient:
Nuts
Chestnut
Foie gras
Duck
Dirty Black Ass
Purple mustard
Milk-fed veal
Portobello mushrooms,
Red fruits
Fishing
And will have to adapt to a particular realization condition:
Optical illusion
With spice
Last minute
Sweety salty
Doable in advance
Without cooking
Cooking on the plancha
With alcohol
Monochrome
Mustache shape
This double bind was drawn during an epic assembly!

The 10 maestros of Tables Gaillardes never give up, they accepted!
We therefore suggest that you follow, throughout the year:
The Chefs Challenge

Recipes proposed by the chefs:

  • Challenge 1 taken up by Johnny Thouvenin, from the restaurant Le Périgord in Donzenac: create a trompe l'oeil with walnuts. The result is surprising. Check out the recipe video Pana cotta with walnuts and apricots. 

  • Challenge 2 taken up by Amédée Leymarie, chef of the Amédélys restaurant. He inherited foie gras as a local product to work with, and as a constraint, “to make at the last minute”… The video of foie gras and flavored vegetable broth will seduce you.

  • Challenge 3 taken up by Jean-Luc Viginiat, chef of the restaurant Le Montauban. The latter had to cook the duck in a sweet and savory way. Her duck breast in sesame caramel makes our mouths water.

  • Challenge 4 taken up by Olivier Maurin, chef of La Toupine. He shows us how to cook black-ass pork in advance. His recipe: cabbage stuffed with black pig with foie gras and mashed potatoes with truffles skilfully highlights our local products.

  • Challenge 5 taken on by Pascal Cavé, chef of the restaurant Le 4. His challenge was to cook purple mustard without cooking. He offers us an excellent recipe for duck tartare with purple mustard.

  • Challenge 6 taken up by Georges Figueira, chef of the Les Embruns restaurant. The latter had to cook the milk-fed veal on the plancha. The chef was able to sublimate these two constraints that were initially too simple and offers us a recipe for Marinated milk-fed veal grenadin seared on the plancha, carrot and small vegetable purée, reduced balsamic juice with morels.

  • Challenge 7 taken up by Christophe Forget, chef of Bistrot Forget. His challenge: cooking mushrooms with local alcohol. The chef delights our taste buds by combining morels with quincenut and poultry. Discover his recipe soufflé with morels, nuts and poultry. 

  • Challenge 8 taken up by Claude Goût, chef of the Auberge du Cheval Blanc in Allassac. His challenge: cooking red fruits in monochromy. The chef sublimated the challenge and did not take the easy route. He offers us the red tuna with red fruits. 

  • Challenge 9 taken up by Nicolas ECHE, chef of the En Cuisine restaurant in Brive-la-Gaillarde. His challenge: to magnify Voutezac fishing despite the “mustache-shaped” constraint. This cake tactfully meets our requirements. He offers us the recipe Gaillarde Fishing. 

  • Challenge 10 taken up by Nicolas SERRES, head of L'Atelier du Moutier in Brive-la-Gaillarde. His challenge: cooking chestnuts and a local spice. The restaurateur therefore offers us a creamy recipe with a very pleasant hot/cold shake, the Chestnut cream soup with saffron !

This season 2 of Recettes Gaillardisés ends with this delicious velouté. Brive Tourisme thanks all the chefs of the Tables Gaillardes for playing the game with talent and desire. We invite all novice or liberated cooks who have benefited from these discoveries to share with us their feelings, their pleasures and their favorites...

See you soon for a next 100% fun taste adventure with good local products!
