After the humble potato in 2015 and the egg in 2016, the champagne house themed this year’s creative dishes around mushrooms, bringing together 18 chefs from Hong Kong’s esteemed establishments to create a limited edition mushroom-themed dish each to pair with Krug Grande Cuvee.
Blending 120 wines from more than 10 years, the Krug Grande Cuvee is best paired with sophisticated food creations featuring the versatile mushroom. Celebrating the variety is multiple uses of mushrooms, the house of Krug has published a booklet documenting chefs from around the world and their creations using this one single ingredient. Featured in this year’s booklet are chef Umberto Bombana (8 ½ Otto e Mezzo Bombana), Vicky Cheng (Vea), Robin Zavou (Mandarin Grill), and Mori Tomoaki (Sushi Mori Tomoaki) and this all-star lineup is presenting their unique mushroom creations this summer at their respective restaurants.
