Sauteed apples in black truffle butter with minced black chanterelles and a touch of Calvados provide a beautiful backdrop for rare roasted duck breast, both visually and on the discerning palate. Firm-fleshed persimmons can serve as a base for excellent and original composed winter salads. Good pairings are nuts and nut oils, organic frisee greens, flavored vinegars, cumin and tarragon.
Chestnuts do take a lot of labor to peel.
I've been happy with everything there except the cervena ranched venison, which I found to be reminiscent of gamy liver in flavor and texture. Their shipping is impeccable and their product worth the premium price. They also carry other exotic meats such as antelope and ostrich . Floral accents can also work well for winter. I particularly like lavender.
