Assiette Anne-Marie

Assiette Anne-Marie

A dish that celebrates the complete cycle of spring

Serves4
Preparation10 Mins
Cooking Time10 Mins

This dish is a tribute to every gardener who has lovingly tended our potager garden at Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons. The name Assiette Anne-Marie is in honour of our current Head Gardener - Anne-Marie Owens - who has worked closely with me now for over 35 years. At its heart, this recipe is all about simplicity – the nobility and purity of the very best ingredients plucked straight from the garden and treated with respect. But this is my recipe, so, of course, simplicity is never quite that simple…
