Two recipes by Philippe Faur
Chasselas grape sorbet
The grape sorbet is made from the juice of the Chasselas grape from Moissac. It is pressed with the pips and the skin in order to preserve all the organoleptic and nutritional qualities of the fruit, picked when ripe.
Philippe Faur has chosen the apple and the grape from the reasoned production of Jean-Emmanuel Rigal in Moissac (82). This chasselas specialist does not use any chemical treatment.
For his 92% fruit sorbets, Philippe Faur adds a very small quantity of sucrose, then heats the whole at a very low temperature.
By considerably lowering the sugar content of these new sorbets (-35%), he thus favours the taste and nutritional value of the fruit.
Smoked salmon sorbet
Philippe Faur creates a new perfume with the house of Petrossian, in Paris. The raw material, carefully selected, is then smoked in the purest tradition, in the smoking room of the house Petrossian in Angers. The authentic texture and taste of the smoked salmon are perfectly retranscribed in the sorbet (composed of 60% smoked salmon). It will therefore be very easy to marry it.
It will be the perfect accompaniment to blinis as an aperitif, fish (trout), oysters or an avocado-grapefruit salad.
