Krug Champagne at the Table: The Art of Pairing, A Culinary Journey (english edition) by The Social Food & Alice Cavanagh

Krug Champagne at the Table: The Art of Pairing Food and Champagne is a must-read book for lovers of gastronomy and champagne. Written by The Social Food and Alice Cavanagh, this work takes you on a culinary adventure where the world's greatest chefs share their gastronomic creations around the exceptional cuvées of the Maison Krug.

Founded in 1843 by Joseph Krug, Maison Krug has made it its mission to create the best champagne possible each year, despite climatic variations. This book revisits this heritage by combining the finesse of Krug cuvées with recipes created by ten internationally renowned chefs.

Among these chefs, we find iconic figures such as Anne-Sophie Pic, Arnaud Lallement, Guillaume Galliot (France), Tanja Grandits (Switzerland), Tim Raue (Germany), Enrico Bartolini (Italy), Yosuke Suga (Japan), Lorna McNee (Scotland), and Cassidee Dabney as well as Nina Compton (United States).

The photographs, by the French duo The Social Food, capture the essence of each chef in the intimacy of their kitchens. The original recipes, such as Pigeon with Cocoa and Piquillo Condiment, Juniper Risotto with Red Shrimps and BBQ, or Chanterelles with Creamed Corn and Lemon Balm Pickles, are all accompanied by specific tasting notes for Krug Grande Cuvée and Krug Rosé cuvées.

Each recipe is built around a simple ingredient, but magnified thanks to the perfect harmony between the dish and Krug champagne. This book also highlights fascinating themes around the world of Krug, such as the ten myths of champagne and the ten tasting notes.

With its 224 pages richly illustrated and more than 180 color photographs, this book is much more than just a cookbook. It is a total immersion into the art of living in Champagne, where tradition and modernity meet to offer a unique gastronomic experience.

Krug Champagne at the Table is a book that will appeal to both champagne enthusiasts and gourmet connoisseurs. It is a tribute to the heritage of Maison Krug and a valuable guide to discovering new ways to savor this exceptional wine.
