Cooking recipe preparation instructions
  1. Cut the top of the pumpkin to open it. Use a spoon to remove the inside from the pumpkin, which you will cut into pieces. Be careful not to cut too much of the bottom of the pumpkin, because otherwise it might break later on. Thus, keep the bottom rather thick.
  2. Sweat the pumpkin's inside with the leek, onion, 3.5 oz. butter, 0.5 gallons water (or better: bouillon), salt and pepper.
  3. After thirty minutes cooking, take the electric mixer and stir well. Add the cream and butter, as if you would prepare a normal potage. Continue until obtaining a smooth cream.
  4. In the meanwhile, open the clams a la vapor. Then, recover the meat from each shell. Season.
  5. Add the clams at the very end to the pumpkin cream.
  6. Be aware that from now on, once the clams are in the pumpkin cream, the mixture should not boil anymore.
  7. Now, carefully pour the pumpkin cream into the prepared pumpkin. Place the lid back on the pumpkin to close it and keep it warm. Serve and enjoy!

Overview:
"Situated just at the side of the famous ancient royal château Versailles from Louis XIV, in a 3 ha with century old trees, "Le Trianon Palace" was built in 1910. In 1919, the treaty of Versailles was held in this place and the French Prime Minister Clemenceau set the conditions for Germany’s destiny. Very soon, "Le Trianon Palace" turns into a privileged meeting place for the world of arts and entertainment, such as Proust, Sarah Bernardt, Colette, and Sacha Guitry. Today, "Le Trianon Palace" proposes 62 chambers, 33 suites and a few apartments, a special diet restaurant and spa, beauty center and Givenchy, and, not to forget, its gastronomic award-winning restaurant "Les Trois Marches"."
