MY
COOKING, MY IDENTITY

Franck Putelat himself describes his cuisine as «classic fiction»: he correctly diverts the great classics of gastronomy, takes the dishes to another era, tells his own story to make it a «fiction». He tends towards emotion, writes poetry, seeks to dialogue with his guests, offering them a real sensory and gustatory journey.

In my cooking, I look for the pure essence of the product, its own nature, its identity to sublimate it. Subtly, a bit like a melody that should first be refined to the extreme, keeping only a few notes, before composing it to be able to reveal it again.

Mastering its scales and gestures perfectly is essential. The technique serves to balance all the elements. It is perfectly possible, as long as you know and love them, to combine all the products, even the most different !

From the land to the sea, from the mountains to the plains, from the Jura to the Aude, all the lands are made to meet, leave each other, find each other, this is the deep meaning of the paths of life, of my personal history. My nature pushes me to experiment, beyond cultural blockages, to search for balance between very different products, stories. Perhaps more than I can express it by myself, my cooking reflects an open-mindedness propitious to encounters with contrasts. The most beautiful encounters.
