It's a rather long recipe but which never fails to impress, perfect for a special dinner party.

Everything, except whipped cream, can be made beforehand. May 28th 2012342 K5 3 hours 9 min.

Bouquet garni
Used very frequently in French cuisine, a secret of French chefs, it adds flavour to a lot of recipes, and it's easy to prepare. The basic principle is to make a small bundle of herbs, bind them in green leek leaves and to tie it up, so that the whole thing can be removed and discarded easily after cooking.
