Pascal Aussignac left France with business partner Vincent Labeyrie to champion la cuisine de Gascogne at his Club Gascon in 1998. Now the co-owner of a small empire of French exclaves in London, Aussignac’s roster of fine venues has grown to include Cellar Gascon, romantic bistro Comptoir Gascon and Chelsea’s Le Cercle. 2010 saw the opening of his last two venues: Cigalon and Baranis commit to bringing Provençal food and atmosphere to London.
As the forecast is for a nice weekend a summer picnic is an ideal way to enjoy the weather and some of your favourite food at the same time, one of our summer favourite’s is Salade Niçoise and the recipe for Salade Niçoise by Pascal Aussignac on Great British Chefs shows how a focus on ingredients and presentation delivers the pefect Salade Niçoise.
