Bruno Albouze Hunter's Chicken

Hunter’s Chicken

Hunter chicken, a French classic that never seems to go out of style, has its own Italian counterpart—pollo alla cacciatora, or chicken cacciatore. This rustic dish brings together tender chicken and earthy mushrooms in a rich, savory sauce, rooted in the traditions of brown stock (a close relative of the Espagnole-based sauces). True to its name—”hunter’s chicken”—it evokes the simplicity of woodland foraging, where game birds and wild mushrooms made for a hearty autumn meal. Best enjoyed as a comforting family dish, it’s perfect beside a crackling fire, served over creamy mashed potatoes or fluffy rice…

Bruno Albouze Apricot Pie

Apricot Pie

The first bite of this apricot pie is a revelation—a delicate dance of textures and flavors that lingers on the palate. The foundation is a buttery sablé crust, crisp and tender, cradling a layer of rosemary-infused almond cream, its earthy sweetness deepened by the herb’s subtle pine-like warmth. Above it, a glossy apricot marmalade—cooked down from ripe fruit until jammy and bright—adds a tangy richness. A scattering of crumble lends a satisfying crunch, but the true showstopper is the crown of fresh apricot slices, each one caramelized in foaming butter until their edges glisten like stained glass. This is summer captured in a slice: golden, fragrant, and impossibly lush.
