RECIPES FROM THE CHALET

We have been asked on numerous occassions by guests to post our recipes on the websites. Our menu is based on things we have eaten at restaurants and loved and many recipes are from our good friend Anna Pearce who has inspired us to try different things and given us the ability to steer away from normal “chalet food”. In her words LIVE, LOVE , LAUGH and EAT… Bon Appetite!
