(02) Why this menu

Mountain kitchens are small, the ovens are temperamental and the altitude changes how water boils. I’ve cooked in forty-one chalets in the Trois Vallées and Megève; I know which ones have an oven that lies about its temperature, and I bring a thermometer for the others.

The cheek braises in my kitchen the night before. I arrive at 17:00 and the celeriac goes in the hay at half past. By the time the skiers are back and showered, the kitchen smells of a barn in the best sense.

From 12 guests I come with one person on the floor, from 16 with a second cook, from 20 with two on the floor. It’s on the quote line by line.

A whole lake char on a steel tray in a chalet kitchen with a lemon and herbs, snow on the fir trees outside the window.
