Here’s the next in our series of delicious recipes to prepare at home, courtesy of Michelin-starred chef Stéphane Décotterd.

If you live in the Montreux area, maybe you have already sampled the delicious cuisine of Stéphane Décotterd, the Michelin-starred chef who opened his signature restaurant, bistro and lounge bar on Glion campus last year.

If you are not local enough to visit, we’re providing an opportunity to taste the Maison Décotterd magic by publishing a recipe from Stéphane’s personal collection each issue. This time around, we offer Swiss shrimps, granola and carrot “sucs”. Put on your chef’s apron and let’s get started!
