Roast the walnuts for the puree and mix in the thermo blender until an oily mass forms. Add celery puree and milk, emulsify and season.

Vacuum all ingredients from the liver, infuse for 2 hours and cook in a 58°C water bath for 15 minutes.

Pour the contents onto a sieve and drain the excess fat, fill in a silicone mould, freeze and then loosen from the mould.

Thinly slice the grapes and vacuum with the sweet and sour.

Boil the goose skin for 4 hours. Blender smooth all ingredients, spread thinly on a silpat and bake in the oven at 125°C for 45 minutes.

Make a tasty juice from all ingredients, tie with the xantana and lightly top with some walnut oil.

Roll the cut jelly through the crumble, pipe studs of the puree on the plate and place the cubes of liver with the jelly in between.

Garnish with the other components and the cresses and finally add the juice.
