A lucky dish
In this new episode of Hidden brigadesGrégoire, Ilane and Sean aimed to revisit the floating island, whether in a savory and/or sweet version.

As for Grégoire, this dish is not at all unknown to him. During the selections of Top chefhe presented himself with a salted floating island. “I feel good. The floating island is something that inspires me”he reacted with confidence.
It is definitely his lucky dish. Eric Frechon, Fabien Ferré and François-Régis Gaudry were unanimous.

With Chef Frechon, we said that we would go to the end so we will do everything to”commented Grégoire.
A flowing island
It was not easy for the three judges to decide between the floating islands of Ilane and Sean. “There were two beautiful plates”assured Fabien Ferré.
