Translating to "rooster in white wine," this dish features tender chicken braised to perfection in a delicate white wine sauce, accompanied by aromatic vegetables and herbs. The harmonious marriage of white wine, stock, and aromatics yields a rich and nuanced sauce that envelops the chicken, infusing it with layers of taste. Coq au Vin Blanc is a testament to the art of braising, where slow and gentle cooking transforms humble ingredients into a symphony of textures and flavors. This dish not only pays homage to traditional French culinary techniques but also stands as a culinary canvas for creativity and interpretation. Served with a flourish, Coq au Vin Blanc is a showcase of culinary prowess that demonstrates the mastery of combining ingredients and techniques to create a dish that captures the essence of sophistication and taste.

I was a runner up in Singapore's Masterchef Competition Season 2. Cooking has been a passion of mine since I was young. I would always follow my grandma to the wet markets to buy groceries and watch her whip up amazing dishes. Always inspired by my grandma, I look to continue her journey in the culinary world.
