Cassolette
A cassolette (from the diminutive form of the French word cassole, a small container) is a small porcelain, glass, or metal container used for the cooking and serving of individual dishes. The word also refers to dishes served in such a container:
- Cassolettes ambassadrice: A ragoût of chicken livers with a duchesse potato border
- Cassolettes bouquetière: Creamed vegetables topped with asparagus tips and cauliflower florets
- Cassolettes marquise: Crayfish tails à la Nantua to which diced truffles and mushrooms have been added, with a border of puff pastry
- Cassolettes régence: a salpicon of chicken breast and truffles in a velouté sauce, topped with asparagus tips with a border of duchesse potatoes
It may also refer to a box or vase with a perforated cover to emit perfumes and enhance the natural scent of a woman.[1][2] Linked with this meaning, Ian Kerner in She Comes First - the thinking man's guide to pleasuring a woman states that cassolette refers colloquially to that natural woman's scent itself, including the strong scent of the vulva, and notes that Napoleon was a particular aficionado of that of Josephine.[3]
