To the warmth of embers, friendship and generosity

Under the flamboyant Toques Brûlées outfit, cheerfully hosted by the godfather of the 2020 edition, chef David Faure from SensÔriel in Nice, and Noëlle, his accomplice in the city as well as in the kitchen, Les Chefs au Sommet d’Auron offered more than three hours of gourmet happiness to skiers and skaters, inhabitants of Auron and tourists, by hosting with their giant barbecues a Culinary Art show of rare intensity.
Tastings of “fait minute” recipes, specialities simmered in the heat of the embers, of the heart, of friendship and generosity, were given away to an enchanted public. Christian Perria, the World Champion of Ecaillers also demonstrated his colourful talents.

Breads, desserts and cocktails

The Toques Brûlées delicacies were accompanied by country breads from artisan bakers such as the Boulangerie Centrale in Saint Étienne de Tinée, the Maison Yalex in Isola Village, Les Pains de Flo in Auron and Rolfo Créations in Saint Laurent du Var. Sweet delicacies delighted the taste buds of an audience put in appetite by the fragrant fumes that floated around, impatient to taste these marvels offered by Les Chefs au Sommet d’Auron.
