Exciting News: A Sea of Change for "Grab A Drink With A Swiss Chef"! 🐟

Dear Community,

After much reflection and thought over the past months, I've decided to make a slight shift in the direction of the podcast!

Since our inception, we've curated more than 15 hours of in-depth conversations with Swiss chefs, an experience that has been not only incredibly informative but also immensely enjoyable for me. I trust you've found it captivating too. If you've been tuning in, you have likely noticed my unmistakable enthusiasm whenever the topic of seafood arises— it's a subject that truly fascinates me.

From small fishermen to large suppliers through to global distributors, the supply chain is fascinating. And its impact on the world is also terrifying. And this is what I want to unpack on a global scale. I want to understand where we are and how we are going to ensure the sustainability of this industry and the conservation of our oceans.

So, in the spirit of this growing curiosity and interest, I am thrilled to share that starting in the new year we're steering our podcast toward an even deeper exploration of the world of seafood.

Join me in 2024 on this journey as we dive into the depths of this captivating subject, seeking to unravel its complexities and learn as much as we can.

Thank you for being a part of this evolving adventure! 🐟

Jarins Favorite Recipe: Veal tartare

Ingredients:

320g of veal (filet, loin or rump will do)
2 Scallions (white part only)
Sherry vinegar
Extra virgin Olive oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 Fillets of smoked trout, skin off
1 Egg Yolk
1/2 Tbsp Dijon Mustard

Juice of half a lemon
Salt
1 large fennel
Extra virgin Olive oil
Juice of half a lemon
Zest of one lemon

1. Trim off any fat or silver skin of the veal, cut it into small dice, set aside.
2. Cut the white parts of the scallions into brunoise, set a side. Cut the green parts of the scallion into very fine julienne and put in Ice water for them to curl up.
3. Put the room temperature Egg Yolk in a food processor and add 1/2 Tbsp Dijon Mustard. With the food processor running add the oil in a slow and steady stream to get an emulsion. Add the smoked trout in small pieces. Strain the smoked trout mayo through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pin bones and to get a silky consistency. Season to taste with lemon juice salt and pepper. If necessary adjust the consistency with a few drops of water. The mayo should be firm but not pasty.
4. Shave the fennel on a thin mandolin paper. Dress with the lemon zest, Olive oil and lemon juice
5. Mix together veal, sherry vinegar, olive oil and diced scallions. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
6. Plate everything nicely and use the greens of the scallions as garnish
7. Serve with toasted sourdough bread or focaccia
