<p>As we make our plans to visit Burgundy, one of our first things that we want to know is whether <em>Ma Cuisine</em> will be open for us to dine.  The restaurant has varied days of operation, usually opening on average 4 days per week.  It is a MUST on our list, and we always look forward to the food and wine that Fabienne and Pierre will offer us, not to mention their smiling faces and warm welcome.</p>
<div id="attachment_2641" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 526px"><a href="http://www.keepercollection.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/IMG_6701.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2641   " title="Ma Cuisine Sign" src="http://www.keepercollection.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/IMG_6701.jpg" alt="Ma Cuisine Sign" width="516" height="387" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Ma Cuisine Sign</p></div>
<p><span id="more-2631"></span><br />
If dining at lunch, the lunch board usually has a 3 course prix fixe menu, made with seasonal ingredients.</p>
<div id="attachment_2646" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 397px"><a href="http://www.keepercollection.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Menu-du-midi-Lunch-menu.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2646  " title="Lunch menu" src="http://www.keepercollection.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Menu-du-midi-Lunch-menu.jpg" alt="Ma Cuisine Lunch Menu" width="387" height="516" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Ma Cuisine Lunch Menu</p></div>
<p>If dining at night, the dinner board has a more extensive menu to offer, both menus written entirely in French.</p>

<p>All tables have fresh olives, cornichons, mustard, and bread as a starter.</p>

<p>On our most recent dinner, we enjoyed the fresh melon with prosciutto – a group favorite! In fact, <a href="http://www.chefdavidbull.com/">Chef David Bull</a> has shared his version of this staple appetizer with <em>Port Salut Cheese and a Vanilla Muscato Gastrique</em>, which is often prepared for guests of the Keeper Kitchen.</p>
<div id="attachment_2645" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 526px"><a href="http://www.keepercollection.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Melon-et-magret-Melon-and-breast.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2645  " title="Fresh Melon with Prosciutto" src="http://www.keepercollection.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Melon-et-magret-Melon-and-breast.jpg" alt="Ma Cuisine Fresh Melon with Prosciutto" width="516" height="387" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Ma Cuisine Fresh Melon with Prosciutto</p></div>
<p>We eyed a dish we hadn’t yet tried, the escargots, and they were fabulous.  The texture of the snails was impeccable and you’ll notice that the sauce they were cooked in resulted in us savoring every last drop as a dipping sauce for our baguette.</p>
<div id="attachment_2638" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 526px"><a href="http://www.keepercollection.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/12-escargots-traditionnels-12-traditionnal-snails.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2638   " title="12 Escargots Traditionnels" src="http://www.keepercollection.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/12-escargots-traditionnels-12-traditionnal-snails.jpg" alt="Ma Cuisine 12 Escargots Traditionnels" width="516" height="387" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">12 Escargots Traditionnels</p></div>

<p>Whenever we see the tuna tartare offered on the menu, we cannot resist and again, we were glad to have ordered it.</p>
<div id="attachment_2655" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 526px"><a href="http://www.keepercollection.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Tartare-de-thon-frais-Tuna-tartar.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2655   " title="Tartare de Thon Frais" src="http://www.keepercollection.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Tartare-de-thon-frais-Tuna-tartar.jpg" alt="Ma Cuisine Tartare de Thon Frais" width="516" height="387" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Tartare de Thon Frais</p></div>
<p>The Jambon Persille (Jellied Ham with Parsley) is a local dish that we love to try as it is made differently by many chefs.  Fabienne’s creation of this local special is excellent.</p>
<div id="attachment_2642" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 526px"><a href="http://www.keepercollection.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Jambon-persille-maison.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2642     " title="Jambon Persille Maison" src="http://www.keepercollection.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Jambon-persille-maison.jpg" alt="Ma Cuisine Jambon Persille Maison" width="516" height="387" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Jambon Persille Maison</p></div>
<p>For our entrees, we tried roasted chicken, pigeon, and duck breast.  All were prepared with perfection and each plate was near spotless before we allowed the server to take them away.<strong> </strong></p>
<div id="attachment_2654" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 526px"><a href="http://www.keepercollection.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Poulet-roti-Roasted-chiken-2.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2654  " title="Poulet Roti" src="http://www.keepercollection.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Poulet-roti-Roasted-chiken-2.jpg" alt="Ma Cuisine Poulet Roti" width="516" height="387" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Poulet Roti</p></div>

<p>We were so glad that Ma Cuisine was open during our recent trip.  Combining the well-prepared dishes with selections from Pierre’s beautifully selected wine list provided the setting for another memorable Ma Cusine meal.  Thank you Fabienne and Pierre.</p>

<p>Comme nous faisons nos plans pour visiter la Bourgogne, l&#8217;une de nos premières choses que nous voulons savoir, c&#8217;est si Ma Cuisine sera ouvert pour nous pour diner.  Le restaurant a changer ses jours d’ouverture, d’habitude ouvert 4 jours par semaine. C’ est un incontournable sur notre liste, et nous avons toujours hâte de voir ce que Fabienne et Pierre vont nous offrir, sans parler de leurs visages souriants et l&#8217;accueil chaleureux.</p>

<p>In honor of our French intern, Eleonore, Keeper is dedicating this blog to her &#8211; a quick look at a weekly staple of her life and a must-do when we visit Burgundy, the <strong>Beaune Farmers Market</strong>.  In general, one of the first things that we do before we take a trip is do some research on the local farmers’ markets.  If you find yourself in Burgundy, a Saturday visit to the Beaune Farmers Market is a no-brainer.  We thought that we are loyal patrons to this market as we have visited it for the last 6 years on our annual Burgundy trips, but it turns out that we are only blip on their radar screen as research says that this market has been around for <em>864 years</em>!  Now that’s a tradition – can you tell us about any Farmers Markets that are older than this?</p>
<p>The Beaune Farmers Market is supported by locals and visitors alike. The locals have their favorite purveyors that they support every week, whether they are buying meats, cheeses, fruits, pates, breads, desserts, pastas, or just fresh flowers.  If you’re not in the mood to cook, want to have a picnic, or don’t have a kitchen to use while in the area, the Beaune Market offers many options.</p>

<p>Most people love to bask in the sun on the beach on their vacations; we prefer to bask in colors, smells, flavors, textures, and combinations from the culinary world. While most fill their totes with sunscreen and a towel, we’re filling our bags with the finest produce France has to offer. We highly recommend visiting this long running tradition if you ever find yourself in the area. It is truly something to be experienced.</p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;">Enough background information – let the Pierre Gagnaire spectacle begin!  We are presented the menu and it looks so simple and elegant, imagining that the meal will be the same, very classic French.<br />
</span></p>
<div id="attachment_2409" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 526px"><a href="http://www.keepercollection.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Pierre-Gagnaire-Menu.jpg"><span style="color: #000000;"><img class="size-full wp-image-2409 " title="Pierre Gagnaire Menu" src="http://www.keepercollection.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Pierre-Gagnaire-Menu.jpg" alt="Pierre Gagnaire Menu" width="516" height="387" /></span></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Pierre Gagnaire Menu</p></div>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span id="more-2377"></span>As we open to see what is in store for our Chef’s Tasting Menu, we are swept into another world, realizing that we are about to embark on an untouchable food adventure. </span></p>
<div id="attachment_2411" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 327px"><a href="http://www.keepercollection.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/PierreGagnaire-2.jpg"><span style="color: #000000;"><img class="size-full wp-image-2411 " title="PierreGagnaire (2)" src="http://www.keepercollection.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/PierreGagnaire-2.jpg" alt="Pierre Gagnaire Menu" width="317" height="414" /></span></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Pierre Gagnaire Menu</p></div>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Could this be possible?  And before even our first course, we enjoy a visit from Chef Pierre, who has come out of the kitchen to make sure his guests are enjoying the show! (Sorry for the blur…We get a little shaky at Celebrity sightings!) </span></p>
<div id="attachment_2410" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 397px"><a href="http://www.keepercollection.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/PierreGagnaire.jpg"><span style="color: #000000;"><img class="size-full wp-image-2410    " title="Chef Pierre Gagnaire" src="http://www.keepercollection.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/PierreGagnaire.jpg" alt="Pierre Gagnaire" width="387" height="516" /></span></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Chef Pierre Gagnaire</p></div>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The table setting even have surprises. We expected glorious French butter, but what would this whimsical lid uncover?</span><span style="color: #000000;"> </span><span style="color: #000000;"> </span><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>
<div id="attachment_2384" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 526px"><a href="http://www.keepercollection.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Butters.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2384  " title="Butters" src="http://www.keepercollection.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Butters.jpg" alt="Pierre Gagnaire Butter" width="516" height="387" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Butter</p></div>
<p>We ask our server and learn that our second butter option is Saffron Butter.</p>
<div id="attachment_2414" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 526px"><a href="http://www.keepercollection.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Saffron-Butter.jpg"><span style="color: #000000;"><img class="size-full wp-image-2414  " title="Saffron Butter" src="http://www.keepercollection.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Saffron-Butter.jpg" alt="Pierre Gagnaire Saffron Butter" width="516" height="387" /></span></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Saffron Butter</p></div>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Three breads to go with the butters come next.  The Seaweed bread is so unique and glorious.<br />
</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;">Our attentive waitstaff present us with the Amuse Bouche.  Imagine starting with not one, but 8 different amuse bouche to enjoy.  Here they are! </span></p>
<div id="attachment_2421" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 526px"><a href="http://www.keepercollection.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Watermelon-with-Strawberry-Reduction.jpg"><span style="color: #000000;"><img class="size-full wp-image-2421  " title="Watermelon with Strawberry Reduction" src="http://www.keepercollection.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Watermelon-with-Strawberry-Reduction.jpg" alt="Pierre Gagnaire Watermelon with Strawberry Reduction" width="516" height="387" /></span></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Watermelon with Strawberry Reduction</p></div>

<p><span style="color: #000000;">We could feel our taste buds applauding and beginning to move forward in their seats in anticipation of what was ahead.  As the servers present the first course, they spend the time to explain the many elements that are combined to create this dish.  Chef makes the cod fish seem like royalty.  He selects the “heart” of the cod and prepares it ever so lightly to show off the beauty of his selection.  He then uses his mastery with other elements of rhubarb, pomegranate, grapefruit, nettlefish, cucumber….  The dish shows us the Chef’s intellectual approach to cooking, compared with his ability to write prose with his food by blending multiple unexpected ingredients in one dish.  We are often suspect of a chef using too many ingredients in one dish.  But, in this case, Gagnaire shows his incredible amount of culinary flexibility.<br />

<p><span style="color: #000000;">We thought the previous dish was tasty and then the server presents a dish called Velvety Turner.  We didn’t care why or how it got its name, as our taste buds just about jump out of their seats to try this dish.  Wow, hats off to the Chef.  Chanterelle mushroom and cool almond sauce gently glide like a ballerina all the way down our palette, followed by a prima donna performance in the mint and sugar snap pea ice cream.<br />
</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;">The next course includes three separate dishes that can each easily stand on their own, but were so interesting as a trio.<br />

<p><span style="color: #000000;">How much more can our taste buds handle?  Of course, the chef tempts us with a white summer truffle dish.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;">Finally, before the cheese and dessert courses, we are served a perfectly prepared oriental spiced lamb dish complemented with a silver box of red onion petals to garnish as we please.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;">Now, it’s time for the cheese.  Chef Pierre, in his creative, unconventional style, did not roll a cheese cart to our table.  Instead, he offers three, interestingly prepared cheeses.<br />

<p><span style="color: #000000;">The server then announces that our 12 desserts are on their way.  We are certain that the server has misspoken, or our culinary inebriation has fogged our hearing…did he say 12??  Sure enough, 12 desserts soon arrive &#8211; Thank goodness some of them are bite-sized.<br />
</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;">This show gets a standing ovation from us, and we all agree that an encore would be welcomed.  Chef Pierre Gagnaire prepared a most intricate, mind boggling, detailed, complexly creative, elevated,  extraordinary meal for our group.  Just like a Cirque de Soleil performance, Chef kept us excited to see what would come next – when we thought we had seen it all, we were surprised with something even more grand.  Just saying we were impressed doesn’t do Chef Pierre Gagnaire justice. We were in awe of this Chef’s culinary approach.</span></p>

<p>Bien, assez pour les informations de base – laissez le spectacle de Pierre Gagnaire commencer! Nous présentons le menu et il parait si simple et elegant, imaginant que le repas va être le même, tipiquement francais.</p>

<p><span id="more-2428"></span>Quand nous ouvrons pour voir ce que le magasin du chef nous propose , nous sommes transportés dans un autre monde, réalisant que nous sommes  en train d’embarquez  dans une nouvelle aventure culinaire.</p>

<p>Est cepossible? Et avant même que  nous commencions, nous voyons le chef Pierre sortir de sa cuisine pour etre sure que ses invites apprécient le spectacle. (Désolé pour  le  flou nous devenons un peu chancelant en apercevant des célébrités!)</p>

<p>La table présente des surprises. Nous nous attendons au glorieux beurre francais, mais qu’est ce que cette étrange boite  aux points rouges recouvre?</p>

<p>Nous pourions sentir nos papilles gustatives applaudire et commencer de bouger de leurs sieges en anticipant la suite. Comme les serveurs présentent l’entrée, ils passent du temps a expliquer les nombreux éléments combines pour créer ce plat. Le chef   fait du cabillaud royal. Il selectionne le “Coeur” du cabillaud et le prepare si légérement pour monter la beauté de sa selection. Ensuite il utilise sa maitrise avec les autres éléments qui sont la rhubarbe,la grenade, le pamplemousse, nettlefish, les concombres. Ce plat montre l’inteligence du chef pour la cuisine, comparé avec sa capacité de faire de la prose avec ses ingredients innatendus et multiples dans un plat. Nous somme souvent suspect d’un chef qui utilise trop d’ingrédients dans un plat. Mais dans ce cas le chef montre son incroyable  fléxibilité culinaire.</p>

<p>Nous avons pensé que le plat précédent était savoureux et puis le serveur présente un plat appelé velouté Turner. Nous ne nous sommes pas souciés pourquoi ou comment il a obtenu ce nom, comme nos papille gustative sautent de leurs sièges pour gouter ce plat. Wow, bravo au chef. Les girolles et amandes fraiches sont comme une ballerine tout en bas notre palais suivi par une performance de l’agastache.</p>

<p>Maintenant, c’est l’heure du fromage. Le chef Pierre, dans sa créativité, son style inconventionnel, n’a pas roulé un plateau de fromage jusqu’a notre table. Au lieu de cela, il nous offre trois fromages préparés de facon intérressante.</p>

<p>Ce spectacle mérite une ovation de notre part et nous reconnaisons qu’un bis serait le bienvenu. Chef Pierre Gagnaire a préparé un repas extraordinaire, complexe, renversant, créatif  élevé pour notre groupe. Juste comme un performance du Cirque du Soleil. Le chef nous laisse excité de voir ce qui viendra ensuite-quand nous pensions avoir tout vu, Nous avons été surprise par quelque chose d’encore plus grand. L’énonciation que nous avons été impressionné ne fait pas honneur au chef Pierre Gagnaire. Nous étions dans la crainte de l’approche culinaire de ce chef.</p>
