🧀 A taste of the mountains: 5 French delicacies to warm up your winter
When the days get shorter and the snowflakes fall outside the window, only one desire crosses our minds: to warm up with good French products, authentic, simple and tasty.
At Le Cornichon , we've selected some treasures straight from the mountains and our grandmothers' kitchens. From organic zucchini velouté to Savoie crozets , to a refreshing green Chartreuse ... here's something to transform your winter into a warming feast.
🥣 1. Organic zucchini soup from the Potager de Saint-Inn
Soft, creamy and 100% organic, this zucchini velouté from the Potager de Saint-Inn is an ode to simplicity.
Prepared with 87% organic zucchini, a hint of crème fraîche and a touch of dried mint, it offers the perfect balance between lightness and comfort.
This is the kind of soup that makes you forget about processed soups. No artificial ingredients, no preservatives, just the pure taste of the garden. Enjoy it as is, or with golden buttered croutons and a drizzle of olive oil.

🏔️ 2. Plain crozets – Savoyard tradition on your plate
These Alpina Savoie natural crozets , made in Chambéry with 100% French wheat, are a monument of Alpine gastronomy.
Small square pasta born in mountain chalets, crozets go perfectly with melted cheese or a pan-fried mushroom.
For a real Savoyard dish: cook the crozets, mix them with cream and a good grated Beaufort cheese... bake for a few minutes, and savor this melting delight that smells of the mountains.

🌾 3. Buckwheat crozets – the rustic taste of our mountains
For lovers of more intense flavors, Alpina Savoie buckwheat crozets bring a touch of character.
Their lightly grilled taste goes wonderfully with a forest sauce or a leek fondue.
At home, we love them baked with a few slices of Reblochon cheese. A simple, filling, and 100% French comfort food dish.

🍝 4. Shell pasta – childhood on a plate
Ah, Alpina Savoie 100% French wheat shells …
It's impossible not to smile at their mention. They're the Proust madeleine of an entire generation. Here, they're made by Alpina Savoie: pasta made with sustainably grown French wheat and true artisanal expertise.
We like them “just like at home”: a little butter, ham, and a hint of grated cheese.
Because sometimes, happiness is contained in a plate of pasta shells.

🍸 5. Green Chartreuse – the liquid soul of the mountains
Behind its emerald green dress hides a legendary liqueur.
The Green Chartreuse has been produced for over 400 years by Carthusian monks from 130 secretly measured plants and spices.
It can be enjoyed chilled, as a digestif, or in a mountain cocktail: try a “Green Chaud” (hot chocolate + Chartreuse) after a day of skiing, and you will understand why this liqueur is a legend.

Here is our suggestion for a “Taste of the Mountain” dinner:
- Starter : Organic zucchini velouté, seasoned with a drizzle of olive oil.
- Dish : Crozets baked with Beaufort or Reblochon cheese.
- Dessert / Digestif : A very fresh green Chartreuse, for the finishing touch.
