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 kitchen, I seek the pure essence of the product, its own nature, its identity to sublimate it. Without a slap in the face, a bit like a melody that should first be purified to the extreme, keep only a few notes, before being able to compose to reveal it again.

Mastering its scales and gestures perfectly is essential. The technique serves to balance all the elements. It is perfectly possible, provided 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 terroirs are made to cross, to leave, to find each other, it is the profound meaning of the paths of life, of my personal history. My temperament pushes me to experiment, beyond cultural blockages, this search for balance between products, stories, very different. Perhaps more than I myself can express it, my plates reflect an open mind conducive to encounters of contrasts. The most beautiful encounters.
