At Christmas table

Behind the image of an immutable and family celebration, Christmas hides a rich, complex history largely constructed over the centuries. This evening proposes to retrace the evolution of the Christmas feast, from its religious and popular roots to its transformation into a great gourmet and cultural event. Turkey, yule log, sweets, gifts, and the figure of Santa Claus gradually established themselves, carried by traditions, commerce, the press, and advertising. Because the Christmas feast is not just a meal, it is a mirror of modern societies, their values, their dreams, and their relationship to abundance. This story will be told to you by food historian Pierre Leclercq and the historical meal will be prepared by chef Alex Van Kalck. *** MENU *** Crème Agnès Sorel *** Braised salmon, crayfish sauce *** Venison, grand veneur sauce *** Pavlova with exotic fruits Reservation: The meal-conference (soup-starter-main-dessert, excluding drinks): 65€.
