This session explores the artistry and precision of modern butchery through a luxurious, trend-aligned dish: Pheasant and Foie Gras Ballotine.

Attendees will witness the transformation of a lean game bird into an elegant, catering-friendly roulade that balances heritage technique with modern service practicality.

The dish pairs rich pheasant and foie gras with seasonal accompaniments: sweet potato-corn pudding, a herbaceous thyme jus, and a vibrant blackberry–sage relish for a composed plate that's both comforting and sophisticated.
