Are you a traditional ski foodie lover?
How about dreaming of oozing creamy fondue in the Swiss alps? Or a sticky sweet French Tarte Tatin? What about the coffee-soaked sponge on fluffy whipped mascarpone in a perfectly formed Italian tiramisu?
The foodie team at The Avenue Cookery School have compiled the traditional must-eats for your next Powder White adventure, so you can tuck into the best cuisine your ski resort has to offer.
France, Val d’Isere
Something savoury: Raclette
Something sweet: Tarte Tatin
Something alcoholic: Genepi
Raclette is a must have if you’re popping to France this season. This ginormous wheel of cheese is melted and then scraped onto various different dishes, giving any evening a theatrical, cheesy kick! For pudding, move onto a classic plum Tarte Tatin, and finish up the evening with a digestif of refreshing herbal Genepi.
Italian, Cervinia
Something savoury: Spezzatino di Manzo
Something sweet: Tiramisu
Something alcoholic: Grappa
We’d recommend Spezzatino di Manzo if you’re in Italy, a traditional beef stew, perfect for warming you through after a hard day on the slopes. Tiramisu is a creamy, chocolaty sweet pudding with a hint of coffee to give you that little kick! And to drink? Grappa is a sweet grape-based brandy with some bite!
Austria, St Anton
Something savoury: Spiced Beef Goulash
Something sweet: Sachertorte
Something alcoholic: Gluwhein
Heading to Austria? We’d recommend tucking into a delicious warming Spiced Beef Goulash followed by Sachertorte, a rich chocolate decadent sponge cake – a must-have in Austria. Finish up with some sweet, spiced Gluwhein. Perfection!
Switzerland, Zermatt
Something savoury: Cheese Fondue
Something sweet: Bündner Nusstorte
Something alcoholic: Absinthe
Dip into the Swiss culture with some traditional cheesy fondue! Be sure to try Bündner Nusstorte, which is a traditional sweet, caramelised nut-filled pastry. To add some fire to your apres ski, Absinthe is a must, although this spirit can have an alcohol percentage of 74% so is not one to be messed with!
Canada, Whistler
Something savoury: Bison Steak
Something sweet: Pancakes with Canadian Maple Syrup
Something alcoholic: Canadian Club Whiskey
If you are planning on heading to Canada, push the boat out and try bison steak for something a little different. For pudding, sample the regions Maple Syrup, over some fresh pancakes, and wash the lot down with a glass of Canadian club whisky.
