Boutique Albert 1ere, Chamonix

"Stars & Mont Blanc" by Pierre Carrier and Pierre Maillet is a book describing four seasons of cuisine and mountain living through a collection of recipes from the Albert 1er gastronomic restaurant. For more than a century in the centre of Chamonix, dominated by incredibly beautiful mountains and majestic glaciers, Pierre Carrier (of the Albert 1er dynasty) and Pierre Maillet (his son-in-law) work the miracle of combining the worlds of (very) grand cuisine and (very) high mountains. With their two Michelin stars, these two chefs share a love of skiing and climbing with the rest of their families. They present a collection of recipes that you can attempt yourself, since the two chefs have shared all the details of their sky-scraping dishes.

Price: €45 (Their chefs Pierre Carrier and Pierre Maillet are able to sign your book upon request)

Mont-Blanc knives for the Hameau Albert Premier will help you to recreate the recipes in your own kitchen! These knives were made by Monsieur Didier Simond, especially for the Albert 1er restaurant.
