Recipes that smell local cuisine ...
Savoyard gastronomy is mainly based on rich local products and adapted to the harsh mountain climate.
The Savoyard recipes that we know today are old recipes. They have been adapted to our time, such as raclette machines. The raclette was eaten by the fire, made on the ground, accompanied by potatoes cooked in ashes or in a "bronzin" (cooking pot) with a little water, diced tomme which had to be stuck at the end of a knife to melt them in the heat of the flames.

Melting a little tomme in fried potatoes or in soup also comes from culinary customs. On the other hand, the fondue is of recent generalization because the peasants did not have what it was necessary to succeed well, their cheese was only lean tomme since it was made of skimmed milk and especially, in the Peasant, at the time the meals were meant to feed above all, it was not lived or considered as a moment of friendliness and sharing among friends as we do today after spending the day at The mountain to ski.

Among the typical recipes, the most famous are Fondue, Berthoud and Tartiflette. But there are, of course, many other recipes such as sausages in white wine (or diots), cheese crusts, stir-fried mountains, stuffed reblochon, reblochon tart, mountain gratin, crozets Pasta made with cereal flour (buckwheat, rye, soft wheat), and polenta made from corn flour, imported from Piémont.
