Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 5 min.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F).

Prepare 1 filet mignon (pork loin) and split in two lengthways, without completely severing.

Salt and pepper the inside and outside of the pork.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 2 min.

Spread a layer of mustard on each side.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 1 min.

Sprinkle with chopped parsley.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 1 min.

Then close up the pork again.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 7 min.

Wrap the pork completely in the thinly-sliced bacon.

Note: French bacon ("lard" in French) is often sold as whole joints for cutting up at home. However, for this recipe it is best to use ready-siced bacon, or ask your butcher to slice it thinly for you.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 2 min.

Place the larded joint in an ovenproof dish or roasting tin and baste with oil using a brush.

Stage 7 - ⌛ 1 hour

Roast in the oven for about an hour, watching for colouration.

Stage 8 - ⌛ 5 min.

When cooked, remove from the oven and cover the joint in its dish with a sheet of aluminium foil and leave to rest for 5 minutes.

Stage 9 - ⌛ 5 min.

Slice the pork and serve with your choice of accompaniment (here it is romanesco sautéd in butter).

Remarks

For the mustard, I recommend the traditional whole-grain variety.

Keeping: A few days in the fridge.

Tiramisu

Classic italian recipe (the name means "pull me up" or more poetically, "take me up to the sky"). It's similar to a charlotte in its structure: layers of flavoured biscuits between layers of smooth cream.

European glass

A little dessert that's rather long to make, but which will always impress your guests. Layered in a glass: a jellied red fruit coulis, a layer of pineapple charlotte cream, a layer of kiwi coulis, topped with a peeled clementine segment. It's "european" because it resembles the italian flag, and in another version with apricot instead raspberries, the irish flag (a country so dear to me).

How to succeed in making sabayon (syllabub)

A sabayon is a delicious and delicate preparation based on egg yolks and sugar, with a liquid added (wine, alcohol, fruit juice, etc), which is then whipped in a bain-marie until it is both light and smooth. Usually sabayon is sweet (syllabub), but you can make it savoury, in which case there is only egg yolk, salt, and the chosen liquid, which could be stock, reduced wine, roasting juices, etc...

Home-made terrine of foie gras

Preparing your own home-made foie gras from raw is immensively satisfying: good quality liver and a simply amazing flavour – much better than anything you can buy. This recipe is a bit tricky, but quite within everyone's grasp, as long as you follow the 3 most delicate stages carefully. These are, in order: de-veining the liver, seasoning and cooking. As usual, I have explained every stage of the recipe in full, with photos to help you.

This technique is called barding where you wrap the meat with fat, larding is pushing the fat through the meat with a needle and is much more tastier
