Rustic and generous, Ardennes cuisine was born in the ovens of farms in a temperate climate with harsh winters and mild summers. Potatoes, charcuterie, dandelions, apples, pears, cherries… To these products from gardens, fields and orchards, new ones have gradually been added. Little by little, the culinary art came out of family kitchens to become a chef's cuisine, sometimes bistronomic or even gastronomic. Bare ass cracker, bacon salad, sugar cake, calf cake are only the first courses of a book of gourmet recipes where to draw and why not reinvent!
