To many France is the centre of gastronomy, and in the 14th century Guillaume Tirel, court chef published one of the earliest cookery books in medieval France. By the 17th Century, the focus on French cooking solely whilst ignoring outside influences became fashionable.
This concentration on all things French was crystalised in the publication of the first Michelin Guide in 1900.
Like all good chefs, Dean head chef at the Fitzwilliam has been steeped in French cuisine. Dean had delved into his repertoire of recipes to produce a show stopping menu.
This is a wonderful opportunity to taste a range of grape varieties, wine styles and flavours from the Loire, Burgundy, Rhone and Gascony in the intimate setting of the Fitzwilliam private dining room.
