Edouard Loubet and Christophe Hay, the four-hand lunch of 2 star chefs
Star chefs Edouard Loubet and Christophe Hay met in the kitchen of La Maison d'à Côté to concoct a memorable four-hand lunch.
Hailing from the Domaine de Capelongue, in Bonnieux, two-star chef Edouard Loubet, met up with his peer, Christophe Hay, also a star chef, in the kitchen of La Maison d'à Côté, near Chambord. Everything began that very morning, with a fishing expedition along the embankments of the Loire, before continuing in the homestead vegetable garden to pick herbs with subtle fragrances.

Rejoicing between surf and turf
The menu was composed of mullet from the Loire marinated with violet, a crayfish soufflé, sturgeon from Sologne grilled on coriander wood, fresh goat cheese from Père Fabre and egg mimosa with ivory chocolate, all escorted by wines from the region and provençal vintages. A real culinary symphony presented to an orchestra of charmed food critics…
