Welcome to Food Couture!
Food Couture is the concept of two Japanese chefs Yasue Siewert and Asako Yoshikawa who were trained at the French Culinary Institute in New York as well as several Manhattan's top restaurants.
The key to Food Couture's approach is simple ingredients. The dishes created by Yasue and Asako are made with ingredients that you can find in your own home or at your local grocer. With direction from Yasue and Asako you can turn simple ingredients into exquisite dishes that one would normally find at high end restaurants.

Chicken, Avocado, and Radish Sandwich
A tasty chicken salad sandwich is always good for lunch, but it can be a little mundane. That's why I jazzed mine up a bit. I took creamy avocados, crunchy radishes, juicy chicken pieces, and put it all on a buttery croissant. Instead of mundane, it's like a French bistro café!
Duck and Mixed Mushroom Salad with Orange Dressing
Duck is such a wonderful protein to work with - succulent, moist, and juicy. In this recipe, I mixed pan-fried duck with a variety of hearty mushrooms and greens into a salad. Duck traditionally goes well with orange, so I topped the salad with an orange dressing (that I created in another recipe). The balance of the crispy duck against the full mushrooms and tart dressing is simply delicious.
Here is a great, fruity dressing that is easy to make and delicious (especially if you like oranges). This orange dressing has a nice, sharp, but not too tart flavor, and it goes well with fish, chicken, and duck salads.
We introduced a vegetable compote last week, and this week we have a beautiful dessert based on it: a vegetable compote trifle. Our trifle has layers of the compote with delicious cake pieces and of course luscious whipped cream. It's a little different from your average dessert, and we think it has above average taste.
Compoting fruit is popular as a dessert, so why not with vegetables? Marinated cherry tomatoes and celery are delicious! Very versatile too, you can eat them straight, topped with yogurt, or as a component in other desserts (more decadent recipes coming soon...). Perfect for the summer season!
