Mealtimes on New Year’s Eve are an opportunity to savour products we don’t necessarily eat during the rest of the year, such as foie gras, caviar, smoked salmon, seafood and shellfish. Here are my addresses for a chic and perfect festive season:
Le saumon : even though some eat it all year round, salmon is a great classic for New Year’s celebrations. It’s the occasion to buy one of exceptional quality.
