"Soft pairing: Dry all year round
An Ifop poll in November 2022 showed that one French person in three was considering taking part in Dry January, the "month without alcohol". But this trend towards greater restraint is not just about marketing, it's also affecting top restaurants, some of which are now offering year-round à la carte tea and infusion pairings. Meet two chefs who are following in the footsteps of soft gastronomy.

The choice of gastronomy
They're barely in their thirties, and have often acquired extensive experience in large, beautiful, multi-talented establishments. Today, they have opened or are running their own restaurants, making the choice of gastronomy. Gault&Millau presents a series of interviews with young chefs whose approach proves that haute cuisine is still the stuff of dreams, but that rigor and ambition are also a driving force for some of those embarking on this profession. Let's continue with Édouard Chouteau, from the 3-toque restaurant La Laiterie, in Lambersart.
The great breakthrough of yellow wines
Like every year, La Percée du Vin Jaune celebrates the release of the new vintage of Vin Jaune. From February 3 to 5, over 25,000 people will flock to the village of Voiteur in the Jura to celebrate the 2016 vintage. To mark the occasion, Gault&Millau presents its three tasting favorites.
Montélimar Nougat, tasting at the Atelier du Goût
Nougat is a very old confectionery, mentioned as early as the Middle Ages in Arabic writings. It then developed throughout the Mediterranean basin, where almond trees grow. It's called "turrón" in Spain and "torrone" in Italy. The word nougat comes from the Occitan "nogat" meaning "nut", in reference to the almond; it only became "nougat" in the 19th century.
Fourme de Montbrison, tasting at the Atelier du Goût
Its cousin, Fourme d'Ambert: Fourme d'Ambert production is similar to that of Montbrison. The main differences are in the salting process (for Montbrison, it's the milk that's salted; for Ambert, it's the curd) and in the preparation: fourme d'Ambert is first cut into cubes, then stirred before being molded, which gives it a different appearance, with less compact, loose pieces.
Sirha: happy winners
Sirha has come to an end, a time of reckoning for some - let's not forget that it's all about doing business and making deals - and of taking stock for others. It's also a time of joys and disappointments for all the participants in the many competitions held during the show, including the highly prestigious Bocuse d'Or. Here's a look back at five crazy days in Lyon, the world capital of gastronomy.Our partners
