Shrimps, Champagne and a Chateau - Can Christmas get any better

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

We are now open as a Christmas Castle rental.  This is one of our favourite recipes for Christmas.  I found it  at epicurious.com.  We use Vouvray as it is our local bubbly and to die for.  We also use only 3/4 of the butter in the recipe.  Pink peppercorns as opposed to black peppercorns are a nice touch too.  We save the champagne for the toasts.

French Christmas Castle Recipes - Roast Goose with Currant stuffing

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

This is one of our favourite French Christmas Castle Recipes. 

The French prefer to serve a roast goose rather than a turkey on Christmas.  After all it is the nation that we can thank for foie gras.  This is our favourite recipe for Roast goose.  We now rent the chateau out for a weekly rental over the Christmas and New Year holidays fully-catered.  Goose is Gordon Ramsay's favourite Christmas roast.  Last year we received lots of compliments on our roast goose.
