A special collaboration has emerged between Cocotte Cuisine, a hidden gem in Jiyugaoka, and Quatre Saisons, a celebrated lifestyle shop originating from Paris.

This partnership pays homage to the rich flavors and warm hospitality associated with French dining.

Exclusive Products from the Collaboration

Fig and Eggplant Confit

This confit is an original recipe exclusive to Quatre Saisons, inspired by the handmade culinary techniques of Southern France. The essence of French living and the comforting atmosphere of a “maison” deeply influenced its creation. This unique confit combines carefully simmered eggplant sourced from Japan, with a subtle touch of fig, enhancing its natural sweetness and complexity. Infused with the refreshing aroma of Nepalese Timur Pepper, it brings out the eggplant's gentle flavor, resulting in an elegantly balanced taste with restrained sweetness.

Best Pairing Suggestions:
Ideal with fresh cheeses like goat cheese, sheep's milk cheese, or served alongside charcuterie boards, paté, or foie gras. A touch on a canapé or a slice of baguette adds a sophisticated layer of flavor, making for an exclusive and enjoyable tasting experience.

Onion Confit PEPE

This luxurious condiment is crafted from slow-cooked onions, drawing out their natural sweetness for a melt-in-your-mouth texture. The harmonious blend of gentle sweetness and rich umami qualities make it a delightful French gourmet feature. It elevates a multitude of dishes without overshadowing their inherent flavors.

Best Pairing Suggestions:
Adding just a small amount transforms the experience of various dishes. Pair it with fresh cheese, grilled white mold cheese, or aged cheeses. It's perfect on toasted bread, in a Croque Monsieur, or enhances grilled pork, stew, or even hamburgers and sandwiches.

Red Wine Confit VIGNE

A blend of Grenache wine sourced from Southern France has been patiently reduced and spiced to create this original confit by Cocotte Cuisine. The deep red wine flavors combine harmoniously with a variety of spices, offering a refined taste with a restrained sweetness.

Best Pairing Suggestions:
It pairs excellently with blue cheese, washed rind cheese, and both roasted duck or pork. A hint can enhance sauces for meats, creating a richer flavor experience.

Almond & Hazelnut Paste

This decadent spread showcases carefully selected almonds and hazelnuts, enhancing their natural aroma and richness. By integrating a touch of oil, it achieves a smooth texture ideal for spreading, while a sprinkle of Fleur de Sel from Camargue amplifies the nuts' natural flavors.

Best Pairing Suggestions:
Spread on toasted bread topped with sliced pears or apples, or mix it into yogurt or granola. It also serves as an ideal ingredient in desserts or can be mixed with olive oil and vinegar for a versatile dressing.

Salted Lemon Confit

Inspired by traditional Mediterranean methods, lemons are slowly matured in salt and marinated in premium olive oil, creating a delightful balance of refreshing and salty flavor. This confit retains the texture of the lemon, allowing enjoyment of both the fruit and its zest.

Best Pairing Suggestions:
Chop finely for green salads or bean salads. The infused olive oil makes a great dressing while it complements chicken, fish stews, tagines, and carpaccio.
