Every week, Laurent Mariotte and his columnists reveal their tastes of the week. It's a ritual to discover new places, products and dishes. This Saturday, Sonia Ezgulian reveals to us an object linked to Easter. 

What is your taste of the week? This is the ritual question asked by Laurent Mariotte. It could be a flavor that marked their week, a restaurant that caught their eye, a dish that they cooked or that we concocted for them. The opportunity to discover new tastes or new addresses, favorites but also, for them, to have rants. 

First to speak: Lyon chef Sonia Ezgulian. She brought a beautiful object: a leg clamp (also called iron or sleeve). This obsolete object allows you to elegantly present and cut a leg of lamb (or venison). Laurent Mariotte describes this object as a sort of pinching fork. Bistronomy chef Yves Camdeborde specifies that the pliers hold the bone of the leg, which allows the meat to then be cut from top to bottom, in the direction of the fibers. Perfect for your Easter meal! 

It's Yves Camdeborde's turn to tell us his taste of the week: green asparagus. He browned them in a pan with olive oil. He accompanied them with a lightly cooked egg, with the yolk still runny. He flavored it with lemon juice and added a few rocket leaves. 

Asparagus is also on the menu for Laurent Mariotte’s taste of the week. But this time combined with Corsican kumquat. He bought this little citrus fruit in the Terroir d'Avenir store in Paris. He paired it with raw asparagus from the Landes cut into tagliatelle, with a beautiful olive oil from Baux-de-Provence. 

This is also an opportunity for you, dear Europe 1 listeners, to tell us your taste of the week. For this you have two solutions: on the Europe 1 answering machine at 01 80 20 39 21 (non-premium rate number) or on the Facebook page of the show “Laurent Mariotte, the group of good people from Europe 1”. One listener will be selected each week.
