In the very heart of the mountains that he loves so dearly, be it summer or winter, the chef Jean Sulpice comes to breath in the area's air, to find the inspiration of an aroma, a plant, a flower, a local he meets along the way... a dish can be inspired by that emotion, sometimes instantly, but sometimes it takes two or three years of maturing before the idea really comes to magnificent fruition on his menu and in his recipe books.         Altitude is the key word in this very inventive book by the young Val Thornes chef, who has already been awarded stars, among his recipes and the discovery of local producers he works with daily.  This report-oriented book from artisans aims to discover products, people and their stories. 60 recipes, of which 20 are easy to prepare, form a very visual book from Europe’s highest star.
