Tartiflette, the best potato and cheese dish ever invented; with bacon lardons and Reblochon cheese. Tartiflette is the definitive comfort food. Potatoes, bacon and cheese – you can’t go wrong with that. It’s a simple dish and like any recipe coming from the highlands of any country, it looks in the pantry, finds stale bits and bobs and puts them together for dinner both nutritious and satisfying.
Twice roasted beetroots with figs and pomegranate seeds. Crimson central – this is a dish of red, red and more red, suitable for the season of flaming gold on tree branches and misty mornings.

Venison steaks seared in a hot pan, served with rich red wine sauce made with pan juices. Aged venison is tender so keep the steaks in the fridge for a couple of days in advance.

Vibrant winter rainbow salad with red and green cabbage, red and white onions, herbs and vinaigrette dressing.
