Recipe Roundup: Recipes for a Celebration

You may have kicked your Christmas tree to the curb and sworn off cookies for the foreseeable future, but here at the James Beard Foundation we are keeping the jovial atmosphere alive as we gear up for a year of festivities in honor of our 25th anniversary. Here are some of our favorite recipes for a celebration. Oysters with Crisp Shiitakes, Scallions, and Roasted Shiitake Mignonette A duo of fried and roasted shiitakes offers a rich, earthy contrast against sweet and briny oysters. Blini with Caviar Use a domestic caviar like American sturgeon, paddlefish, or salmon to top these dainty Russian pancakes.
Wine Wisdom: A Toast to Champagne

We asked Pascal Boyé, director of Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte sales in the Americas, to tell us what to eat with Champagne and why we should be drinking more of it.
James Beard Foundation: What’s your favorite Champagne from the Nicolas Feuillatte range?
Pascal Boyé: It sounds silly, but they are like my children and I love them all. However, I have to say my favorite is the Blanc de Blancs, which is made only with Chardonnay grapes. I love how crisp, fresh, and minty it is. It’s just fantastic.
JBF: What do you like to eat with Champagne?
PB: It depends on what’s being served. I enjoy Brut Champagne with sushi, Rosé with red meat, a Blanc de Blancs with white fish, and our Palmes d’Or Rosé, a vintage Champagne, with dessert.

Recipe: Champagne Jelly with Golden Raspberries
While we're always game to kick off a meal with a glass of Champagne, we also love the idea of letting some bubbly spill into the dessert course. In this ethereal treat from chefs Scott Crawford and Steven Greene, Champagne is set into a shimmery, pearl-toned gelée, then garnished with a dab of crème fraîche and golden raspberries, which are milder in flavor than their red cousins. Get the recipe here.

Recipe: Spiced Peaches with Yogurt Panna Cotta, Raspberry Coulis, Champagne Gelée, and Basil

Christina Lee of Recette employs spherification to create Champagne caviar for this festive panna cotta, but you can make a simpler component at home without channeling your inner Ferran Adrià. Just use powdered gelatin to set a straightforward gelée—no calcium chloride bath required.
