Oceania Cruises introduces La Cuisine Bourgeoise – World of Cruising

An elegant seven-course affair,La Cuisine Bourgeoise, is rooted in fresh, seasonal ingredients, time-honoured flavours and celebrates the rituals of the table and sharing a meal with friends and family. The dining experience features many classic dishes that the Oceania Cruises Executive Culinary Director, Master Chef Jacques Ppin, has enjoyed over the years.

Cuisine bourgeoise is rooted in tradition and is one that shaped my childhood. It is a cuisine to savour rather than admire or evaluate, it is simply happiness on a plate, and I am thrilled to share this with our guests, stated Jacques Ppin, celebrated Master Chef and Executive Culinary Director for Oceania Cruises.

The meal is expertly paired from start to finish with wines that complement and echo the history of the dishes, while providing diners with a hint of the flavours, complexity and nuances that one might have experienced during the mid-20th century.

Pairing the wines took particular care and required extensive research to ensure that the wines featured with each course reflected the bright, approachable and celebratory nature of this dining experience, stated Bob Binder, President & CEO of Oceania Cruises.

The menu itself exemplifies the full flavours and textures of the period and each course brings not only joy to the palate but delights the eyes as well, with each course served with dramatic flair from gleaming silver trays in the best traditions of the century.

Oceania Cruises is all about feeling and emotion, so I am especially pleased with what Jacques has created withLa Cuisine Bourgeoise. Imagine being transported back to the halcyon days of theHtel Plaza Atheneein Paris, enjoying a celebratory meal with great friends. This is an experience you cannot have anywhere else and one that will create memories for a lifetime. It is the epitome of special, added Binder.

Oceania Cruises has created a video showcasingLa Cuisine Bourgeoisefeaturing Jacques Ppin himself.
