Krug Champagne at the Table

Joseph Krug established the Champagne House bearing his name in 1843 with the dream to craft the very best champagne he could offer, every single year, regardless of annual climate variations. This one-of-a-kind pairing book invites readers on a gastronomic world tour. Ten master chefs derive inspiration from Krug cuvees and one simple ingredient each, to deliver over thirty never-before-published recipes. Anne-Sophie Pic, Arnaud Lallement, and Guillaume Galliot from France; Tanja Grandits from Switzerland; Tim Raue from Germany; Enrico Bartolini from Italy; Yosuke Suga from Japan; Lorna McNee from Scotland; and Cassidee Dabney and Nina Compton from the United States are photographed by French duo The Social Food in the intimate surroundings of their kitchens. Recipes such as Cocoa Pigeon and Piquillo Condiment; Risotto with Juniper, Red Prawns, and BBQ; and Chanterelles with Creamed Corn and Bee Balm Pickled Cucumbers are accompanied by paring notes to specific editions of Krug Grande Cuvee and Krug Rose. Texts by Alice Cavanagh also delve into ten themes around Krug, from the ten champagne myths to ten tasting notes and the lifestyle code of the Champagne region. A fresh look into one of France s most celebrated estates, this exquisite book is bound to appeal to Krug Lovers and champagne enthusiasts everywhere.
