The Winter Festive Season, including Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year, is the showcase for the annual harvest and highlights the incredible efforts year-round of our partner farmers and producers. Over the summer and autumn months, the best produce is tended to, fattened up and prepared with great attention.
At LaBritannique we are taking inspiration from Britain and from our Germanic and Scandinavian neighbours who have such strong festive traditions and do hearty warm dishes so well. We add decadent touches of the riches that came from the "exotic" South and East, such as spices, almonds and oranges, which were once real luxuries. Combining these ingredients together, we offer you a reassuringly warm and tasty Festive Season, made with love.
Delicious Canapés!
A great Christmas menu should start with our luxurious canapés: for instance, we make our own pâté de foie gras and serve it with spiced Welsh cakes and a confit chicon. Or how about smoked salmon on blinis with lemon and sour cream?
Christmas wouldn’t be a real treat without oysters and our own black Guinness granita to accompany them, or King Crab with a smooth homemade mayonnaise or served with avocado!
Main Courses
The best main dishes for the season include, of course, Turkey (with all the trimmings), Beef or Salmon, and, for the most adventurous, Confit belly pork with crisp cracking!
For the side dishes, the fresh green ingredients that arise at this time of year are the kales and Brussels sprouts, which gain a touch of sweetness after the first frosts. We suggest you a cauliflower and blue cheese soup with caramelized onions; braised kale with garlic, ginger and spring onions, and glazed Brussels sprouts blasted in a hot oven, caramelized to perfection!
Desserts!
Our desserts feature modern twists on classic favourites, including sticky toffee pudding with clotted cream, Turron cheesecake, a dairy free Orange Crème Caramel, a classic English Trifle or Scottish Cranachan.
We would also suggest am exquisite selection of home made pastries, bicuits and yoghurts:
- Christmas fruit compote with cinnamon and green tea
- Cinnamon rolls
- Pistachio and chocolate pains
- Cardamom and cranberry kringle
- Pecan and buttermilk fudge
- And plenty more...!
