Season End

So, the season’s finally over. It was the busiest season we’ve had at Ferme de Montagne, especially in the kitchen as we had our highest number of external bookings to date. With such good snow conditions everyone flocked to the Alps, and the people in the know came to Ferme de Montagne!

I had a great team with me in the kitchen this year which helped me produce some of my best dishes to date. Gareth has now moved on to working on Luxury Yachts and is currently cruising the Mediterranean working as a Sous Chef. Izzy has gone back to her native Scotland and is working as a Sous Chef at Jamies’ Italian in Edingburgh. I wish them both the best of luck in their careers as chefs.

As for me, I went back to Raymond Blancs 2* Le Manoir Aux Quat Saisons for another opportunity to see the master at work which was a fantastic experience again. I hope to bring some elements of what I learnt there into the kitchen here at Ferme de Montagne to keep the dishes on my menu fresh and in line with the top Michelin restaurants.

Bookings for next season are already picking up here at Ferme de Montagne with New Year and February Half Term already full and other weeks nearly booked out so if you don’t want to miss out it’s probably best to send a quick email and find out what dates we have to suit you.

Anyway, that’s all from me. The sun is back out again after 2 days of torrential rain so I’m going for a walk.
