Maya Plisetskaya 100 Years

Specially for the exhibition opening, Hotel Baltschug Kempinski Moscow has prepared a thematic menu: ‘Maya Plisetskaya 100 Years’. Chef Andrey Kagokin has created a gastronomic homage to Maya Plisetskaya in 5 acts, revealing the multifaceted talent and tastes of the great artist:

• A delicate macaroni with sheep's cheese, maple syrup, walnut, and peach, adorned with tuile and a rose, is a vibrant and inspiring start, symbolising the famous Carmen Suite.
• A scallop salad with citrus dressing is a direct reference to Plisetskaya's poignant and weightless images.
• A hot starter of foie gras with brioche, lingonberry jam, and a tartare of pineapple with chilli and lime reflects the legendary ballerina's love for France's cultural heritage.
• The main course is the most tender halibut with ratatouille and a saffron beurre blanc sauce.
• The culmination is the dessert ‘Maya’: a mini-bretzel cannoli with ‘bird's milk’ mousse, dark chocolate sponge, and a dark malt sauce with caramel and chilli.

This unexpected combination of flavours embodies the character of the legendary figure of world ballet – unique, bold, ahead of her time, with an unwavering love for life.

Dishes from the thematic menu can be ordered individually or as part of the ‘Plisetskaya’ gastronomic set with a glass of Bottega Prosecco Lady in Red Kempinski (8,500 roubles for the 5-course menu) at Café Kranzler and the Lobby Lounge from October 31 to November 30.
