How to prepare some eel ? + German Menu

Do you like eels ? The Chinese consider that it is a great stimulant for man's sexual power.

I don't know about the European point of view on the vertues of eel, but it is featured in the German menu. It's the starter dish : Aal in Gelee (Eel in in jelly).


They finished shooting the video and the good news is that it doesn't look like this funny video drawn from a famous French TV cooking show from the 90's !

We had a lot of fun watching this video during the seminar and it became a joke among us.

No animal will be tortured in the Ecuisine videos, it's a promise !

Ecuisine at Salon de l'hotellerie Restauration in Caen

Yesterday, the French team went to its first professional fair to present and promote the Ecuisine project !



The Forum emploi de l'Hôtellerie et de la restauration held in Caen on the 19th of March was a meeting point for teenagers and young adults to come meet all the professional in the hosting and catering trade. This fair was devoted to job and training seeking and the main operators of the sector were there to present their offers.

Those flyers are just as catchy as an open chocolate bar...

Ecuisine was there too ! Courtesy of our silent partner APIH (Association des Professionnels Indépendants de l'Industrie Hotelière) who was clearly one of the main attraction there, we were able to talk about the project with many curious students or parents.
Ajouter une légende

Unfortunately we were not able to display the roll-up we made last year or even to showcase some of our courses but the flyer clearly caught the eyes of the passers-by!

It was a great opportunity to start a conversation on what the project is about and what our intentions are: enable mobility for young professionnals on a European level.

People's response to our description of the project was very exciting: it's easy to talk about the project and people instinctively understand the value of a working experience abroad. To our astonishment, what seemed at the begining like a simple technological choice, uploading the videos on YouTube, really raises interest among youngsters and adults alike.

The only downside was when we told them the project would not be ready before the end of the year, but we'll take it as a good sign that the project has a strong potential !


Deauville au printemps

Next week is another important fair in Lower Normandy : Deauville ! The famous beach resort and host of the American Film Festival will welcome the 10e Salon de l'Hôtellerie et de la Restauration on the 25th of March. The French team will be there to talk about the project some more !

Christmas tradition in France - Foie gras or Smoked salmon ?

This week we ask Fabrice from the French team to tell us about the Christmas traditions in France. Do I smell hot chocolate ?

Christmas Market in Strasbourg. "Christkindeksmarik" means "market of Jesus Child" in local dialect.

Though Christmas is still associated with religion, France has long been a laic country and most people see it as a commercial or familial celebration. For our concern, it is above all, a great opportunity to taste a great variety (and quantity!) of gourmet food, some of them being only available at this time of the year.
Foie gras on bread with red candied fig
Before Christmas, the Advent is a time to offer le calendrier de l'Avent (Advent Calendar): every day is the occasion to open a window containing chocolate, sweets, an image or words from the Gospels.

French Advent Calendar
In Strasbourg, near Germany, you can visit Le marché de Noël (Christmas Market) to find christmas decorations, presents, eat some pain d'épices (gingerbread) while drinking vin chaud (mulled wine) or hot chocolate. This tradition has now spread throughout France but may differ greatly from one place to another.

> Wikipedia entry for Christmas Market in English, French, German, Polish
> Slideshow about Strasbourg Christmas Market

Christmas Eve is the occasion for a family dinner that lasts until the midnight mass. Sometimes children are allowed to wake and open their presents after midnight, but most of the time, they would go to bed and have to wait untill the next morning to discover what Le Père Noël (father Christmas, Santa Claus) brought them.

Smoked Salmon on bread. Please pass me the lemon slices !

Wether celebrated on Christmas eve or on the 25th, people will usually eat a 3 course meal starting with either foie gras, smoked salmon, oysters or other seafood.

> Read an article on entries for Christmas menu on marmiton.org in French - with super yummy pictures !


The main course usually is a turkey or capon stuffed with sausage meat and served chestnuts.

> See the recipe in French on marmiton.org.
Stuffed turkey with chestnuts

The traditional desert in France and in most french speaking countries is la bûche de Noël (Yule log): it can be frozen or not and is usually chocolate or praline flavoured though there now exists an infinite variety. You can buy them in supermarkets or at your local bakery.

> See a recipe and picture in French or read the wikipedia entry in English, French, German, Polish

In Provence, south-west France, still survives the tradition of the 13 desserts (Les treize desserts). Clearly influenced by the mediterranean tradition, it consists of a large variety (and quantity !) of deserts: mostly seasonal fruits (oranges, grapes, mandarins), dried fruits (raisins, figs, dates), candied fruits, nougat (De, En, Fr, Pl) marzipan and pastries made of honey and nuts.

> More about this tradition on Wikipedia in French, English

La buche de Noël au chocolat ! (Chocolate yule log) The only decent way to end a Christmas menu !
It is impossible not to mention the tradition associated with the Epiphany: on the 6th of January, to celebrate the arrival of the Three Magi in Bethlehem where Jesus was born, people would eat a cake which can be either made of brioche (Gâteau des Rois) or puff pastry filled with almond cream (Galette des Rois à la frangipane). In any case, the cake hides a trinket: the person who gets it will be crowned king for a day and gets to choose a Queen... as well as pay for the next cake ! (Read the wikipedia entry for the cake in French, English, Polish or German)

Who will be king ? This galette des rois à la frangipane hides a trinket/ticket for the crown
