Olive oil, Menton lemon, sun-drenched vegetables and seafood on the coast; mountain cheese, chestnuts, game and mushrooms in the valleys. Classic dishes between the sea and mountain capture history, multiple influences and our local bounty. Barbajuans, pichade, poutine, sugelli to name but a few… Staple dishes that are big on flavour and low on ingredients. But what ingredients! My mouth’s already watering!
