France is in lockdown and restaurants are closed. However, several chefs have decided to keep working and are cooking meals for three of Savoie Mont Blanc's main hospitals.This initiative was launched in Paris first, by Guillaume Gomez, who has been the Elysée's chef since 2013. Twenty chefs in Savoie Mont Blanc have decided to follow it and are cooking 1200 meals every Sunday for doctors, nurses and all other hospital workers.
The list includes three Michelin-starred chefs:
- Julien Machet from Le Farçon in La Tania (one star)
- Clément Bouvier from Ursus in Tignes (one star)
- Mickaël Arnoult from Auberge Les Morainières in Jongieux (two stars)
The chefs buy from local suppliers who are unable to sell their produce via local markets.
In Annecy, five Michelin chefs have joined forces to create a team and cook for their local hospital
- Laurent Petit from Clos des Sens (3 stars)
- Jean Sulpice from Auberge du Pere Bise (2 stars)
- Yoann Conte from his eponymous Yoann Conte restaurant (2 stars)
- Stéphane Dattrino from L'Esquisse (1 star)
- Florian Favario from L'Auberge de Montmin (1 star)
says Jean Sulpice on Radio Mont-Blanc'We want to pass our savoir-faire and enthusiasm to comfort people who are working in this crisis to save lives'
They will deliver 60 meals on the 7th, 9th, 14th and 16th.
The first menu was created by Jean Sulpice (served on 2nd April):
- Vegetable, mushroom and Beaufort pie (Tourte aux blettes, champignons et Beaufort)
