The festive season is upon us and the smell of gingerbread and frosty decorations around us gives us that Christmas feeling. You know me, always on hand to find the yummiest treats in town and this yuletide season again I’m craving something that will remind me of long festive meals in France. You know what they say: you can take the girl out of France, but you can’t take France out the girl. Bring on the foie gras and the capon, I’ve partnered with Plantin Kaviari – the international fine food distributor delivering the finest French products to Hong Kong restaurants and private clients such as you and I since 2009, to make this lead-up to Christmas the most delicious one of all.

Whip up a delicious festive spread at home
The festive season often calls for dinner parties. Not everybody is a Michelin-starred chef but there are a few easy tips that can help you step up your cooking game if you’re hosting friends and/or family this year.
First and foremost, you’ll need premium products. As a fine food distributor delivering the best premium products to your door, Plantin Kaviari has it all when it comes to whipping up a Michelin-graded spread. Cue Red Labelled free-range poultry from Burgundy such as goose, turkey and my Christmas go-to capon, Castaing’s foie gras – awarded a Red Label that acknowledges its superior quality, make it festive with opting for the truffled goose foie gras, premium meat from Boucherie Nivernaises – which has been supplying the official residence of the French president for more than 50 years and more.
The yuletide season also calls for indulgent treats and once again Plantin Kaviari has your back. The white Alba truffle season is in full swing and the French black truffle one has just started making Plantin’s fresh truffles coveted in-season ingredients that will for sure elevate a festive spread. And for more of the “diamonds of the culinary world’s” earthy flavours, there are also black truffle sea salt, truffles spreads, truffle oil, truffle condiments and more for you to choose from. What about impressing your guests with treating them to the rich and complex flavours of Kaviari Paris’ signature Kristal Caviar – Michelin-starred chefs’ favourite caviar?
It doesn’t take much more than that to elevate your home cooking and I’d love to see photos of your culinary accomplishments if you tackle any festive recipes. Tag us on your Instagram posts or stories @hongkongmadame and @plantinkaviari_hk!
Oh wait, what about the drinks will you ask me? I personally like to raise a toast with some bubbly and you’ll find both Champagne and Alain Milliat Muscadelle Grape Juice – for an alcohol-free option, on my festive table.
‘Tis the season of giving

The end of the year doesn’t only call for festive spreads, it’s also the season of giving and if you ask me, gourmet gifts are always a hit. Treat a sweet lover to a cocoa delight from Valrhona, be it a cheeking chocolate bar or a luxurious hamper. If you think a savoury gift will leave a longer lasting impression than a sweet one, then a little truffle something from Plantin or a Kaviari gift box is what you’re looking for.
