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.

MY
SIGNATURES
Bouillabaisse...
Duck foie gras
The idea came up during a meal with friends, switching from foie gras toast to fish soup. There were still some toasts I had to honor!
The association in the mouth has revealed itself. It was then necessary to refine with a green crab consommé (cranquette in the Mediterranean) and a crushed with the saffron pistils of Gérard, a passionate friend.
Another obvious thing for me: keep your taste buds curious, attentive, without any a priori.



Tartare-Frite...
The balance between iodine and blood, between land and sea. A balance of contrasts that reflects and ultimately marks my entire cuisine.
The story of this dish is unique, between a tasting session of Tarbouriech oysters and a simple brigade dish, the idea has imposed itself. A few days later, the recipe was born, from what would become one of my first signature dishes.



Cassoulet...
pigeonneau
It was not easy to tackle. It is a dish that is rustic but that people love. I make the sausage with the pigeon thigh and the bean is worked in the siphon. To put a touch of resonance with my roots, I put Morteau chips instead of sausage.
