Celine Rousseau, a gourmand of the highest order, has dined in the finest restaurants in the world and now creates edible masterpieces for her own home in Geneva, Switzerland. Her latest at La Table is this visual and gastronomic delight.
The tomatoes are, of course, tomatoes. But so are the watermelon slices and cherries. The garnishes are basil leaves and zucchini slices. Rousseau’s cheese selections are ricotta, mozzarella, and parmigiano reggiano.
Pairs of cherries are a recurring theme in Rousseau’s work. She makes sweet versions with mint leaves and raspberries, as well as images painted into handmade pasta.
