What accompaniment will be perfect with the capon? Turkey ? The deer? The turbot? Our selection of recipes for perfect combinations.


The accompaniments are, for every great occasion, a nice way to back up the bun.

At Christmas, it's the same.

Especially since it is necessary to please the whole family and all palates.

First of all, you have to think about the dish as a whole: you can't plan to cook celeriac puree if you end up deciding on a fish.

The association risks being catastrophic.

We also take care not to make any mistakes when it comes to cooking: steamed vegetables with poached fish may be a bit of a “diet” meal.

Finally, we think of textures.

That being said, all that remains is to have fun and let yourself be carried away by your desires.

Winter vegetable casserole

To help you, the editorial staff has concocted a selection of 17 sides for the Christmas meal.

While a fish will go well with artichokes and ardi-gasna cream or roasted mini cauliflowers, a poultry will go better with sautéed vegetables and a coconut emulsion, coral lentils with tomatoes or many woodland mushrooms on potting soil.

However, we don't forget the vegetal addicts, with the pumpkin and kasha velouté and the vegetables sautéed with tofu.
