Dinners for Two
Magret Duck Breast à la D`Atagnan
Every recipe has a story and Ariane, the founder of D’Artagnan foods, is very involved in this one. Her father, Chef André Daguin, was the first to cook duck breast like a steak, pan-searing and serving it rare. That was back in the 1950s at his restaurant in Southwest France, and […]
