The Recipe

First, to prepare the black cod, slice the chorizo into very thin slices. Place on each block of cod. Wrap in plastic wrap and set aside while it forms its shape.

Next, cook bell peppers in the Chef Collection FlexDuo oven at 210C or 410F for 15 minutes. Peel, remove seeds, and blend each pepper separately. Pass each pepper puree through a sieve.

Unwrap cod and place in a non-stick pan in the oven, baking for 5 minutes at 180C or 356F.

To prepare the shellfish, cook in a pot with a glass of white wine. Add a spoonful of finely chopped onions and parsley. Season with pepper and cook for 10 minutes. Drain the juice into a jar and add fresh cream and butter. Foam into a creamy shellfish juice.

Plating: Draw a line of each pepper coulis on the plate. Place the cod, cooked white beans and shellfish on the plate. Add a small dash of olive oil. Surround the cod with the shellfish juice. Finally, decorate with paprika and herbs.

In 2011, chef Trochon was awarded the prestigious title of MOF (Meilleur Ouvrier de France, or “one of the best craftsmen in France”). This title is a rare and supreme honor given only to the best craftsmen of several skilled professions at the top of their careers, following a rigorous national competition.

The Dish

In the following video, chef Trochon shares his classic French dessert, shortbread with grapefruit cream. The dessert preparation includes the shortbread, a grapefruit cream curd, pomelo pulp garnish and grapefruit and lemon juice glaze.

Watch as chef Trochon presents one of his favorite recipes using the Samsung Chef Collection:

The Recipe

The shortbread is made easily using flour, yeast, egg yolks, sugar, salt, soft butter, ginger powder and almond powder. After kneading dough, store in Samsung Chef Collection freezer to harden.

The cream is made of grapefruit juice, lemon juice and sugar. Curd is a preparation that usually includes dairy and an acidic liquid, such as lemon juice. For chef Trochon’s grapefruit cream curd, he uses custard powder, eggs and vanilla. After mixing, boil while whisking on Samsung Chef Collection Range to thicken. He finishes his cream curd with butter and gelatin. Place in a pastry pocket for easy application.

Next, peel the pomelo and separate the pulp for garnish. Set aside. Use Samsung Chef Collection Flex Duo Oven to bake the shortbread.

To prepare the glaze, julienne the grapefruit skin, immerse in water, bring to a boil and drain. Prepare a pan of syrup. Drop the drained julienne grapefruit skin in the syrup, cooking on a low simmer for 30 minutes. Let the syrup cool.

To plate, place your shortbread on a plate. Cover the shortbread with drops of grapefruit cream. Top with pomelo pulp. Garnish with candied glaze and fresh lime zest.

Meet the Chef

In part one of our “In the Kitchen with the Club des Chefs” series, we introduce to you Daniel Boulud, one of America’s leading culinary authorities, and one of the most revered French chefs in New York. There, he is the chef and owner of several restaurants, including Manhattan’s renowned, Michelin-starred Daniel, among others spread across London, Miami and Singapore. He is most praised for the contemporary appeal he adds to passionate dishes rooted in French tradition.

The Dish

A native of Lyon, France, Chef Boulud was raised on his family’s farm in the village of Saint-Pierre-de-Chandieu, and remains inspired by the natural flow of the seasons and dishes influenced by the finest, freshest ingredients. Growing up, he spent a lot of time in the kitchen with his grandmother, no doubt a gastronome herself, learning traditional cooking techniques. It’s no surprise, then, that one of the chef’s favorite dishes is Poulet Grand-Mère (Grandmother’s Chicken), a savory fricassée, which he notes is as easy to make as it is delicious.

Take a look at Chef Boulud in action:

The Recipe

Directions

To begin, stuff the chicken with aromatic herbs, such as thyme, sage and garlic. Secure strings around the wings and legs to give it a nice shape for roasting and season it all over with salt and pepper. In a Dutch oven, roast the chicken on medium-high heat until the skin becomes golden brown. Add the bacon cubes and the remainder of the vegetables to the pot. While the chicken is roasting, split some mushrooms. Then, put the chicken in the oven and let it roast on the bone.

When the chicken is ready, remove it and set it aside to rest. Carve the bird and serve it with roasted vegetables and a fresh watercress salad.

Club des Chef Tips and Tools

Chef Boulud notes that anyone can cook, so long as they have the freshest ingredients and the right tools, which is where the thoughtfully designed Samsung Chef Collection FlexDuo 30″ Self-Cleaning Slide-In Double Oven Electric Convection Range comes into play.

The 5.8 cubic feet single oven splits into two with the Smart Divider. Two temperature controls cook dishes separately with no noticeable transfer of aroma or taste, which means you can roast both the chicken and vegetables (or perhaps even dessert) at different temperatures at the same time. Additionally, the oven’s temperature probe keeps you notified of the internal temperature of cooking foods, so that your Poulet Grand-Mère will come out tender and perfectly cooked every time, just like Grandma’s. Bon appétit!
