Food and wine pairings: the recipe for Serrano prawn sweets with Collioure sauce
Two years of research and relentlessness on both sides, to carry out an ambitious project. In the end, 18 recipes, from savory to sweet, were created to enhance Catalan flavors. The particularity of this adventure lies in its inspiration, it is the wines that triggered the dishes.
Unlike the sommelier who will offer to pair a wine with the dish on the menu, it is the cooks who, starting from the local nectars of the Terres des Templiers, have been inspired for their gastronomic creations.
At the baton, each in his specialty, two Chefs Bruno Léger cooking teacher at the hotel school of Argelès-sur-Mer and Gauffrey Canier, Cellar Master in Banyuls. This collaboration brought a harmony of good tastes with incredibly accurate notes as explained by Laurie Payet, who never gave up on this project.: “this booklet of 18 recipes is a gift for those who like to surprise, combine and harmonize flavors and aromas. It is offered to all those who want to marry two skills”.
