About Me

My photo
Many things (both good and less good) have happened in my life lately, so in November 2013 I decided to take a break from the "Corporate world" to sort out my life situation. One of many things that I decided to do was to learn more about cooking, because food has always been a passion of mine. From my native Vietnam to my home country Norway, my life journey has taken me to many beautiful countries such as Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Australia, Malaysia, where I truly got exposed to the food culture, which may reflect in my home-cooked dishes. With this site, I hope to inspire and encourage you to take a break (short, long, or very long - you decide) and do what you love doing but that you haven't set a date for. Just do it, make it happen :) Kort oppsummert: Norsk-Vietnameser i Paris pa jakt etter mening med livet...

Consommé turned into aspic terrine

Consommé (clear broth served with garnish) was not a popular dish at home, so Maison Emil made aspic terrine out of it instead :)

Served cold with a mayonnaise and crispy croutons as a nice starter. As we made proper consommé at school, this aspic was very tasty.

The clear broth (consommé) is nice, but maybe not an exciting dish, so Maison Emil made aspic by adding boiled eggs, shrimps and gelatine. Clear broth was heated, then gelatine added. Eggs and shrimps nicely placed at the bottom of the terrine form, then the clear broth with garnish poured over. The same step was repeated again until the terrine form is filled up. Covered with film, cooled down then chilled overnight in the fridge.


When the aspic is set, dip the terrine in hot water and turn it up side down. Et voila there is your aspic

Bon appétit,
Maison Emil Paris - MEP
