Europe 1 6:00 p.m., January 22, 2024

Every week, a chef comes to cook for the guest.

This Saturday, chef Charleyne Valet from the Parisian bistro Le Cyrano is making the dish of the day.

On the menu: Pressed black pudding, potato millefeuille and saffron cream.

A rascally dish developed for Fabien Galthié: his grandfather was a horse trader and his parents were saffron farmers.

He also tells us that last October he was in the fields to pick this spice.

Charleyne Valet's dish is simple and easy to make at home: you can find the recipe on Europe1.fr.
