One week sample menu by Laurianne HABERSTICH

Laurianne recently did an internship at La Butte restaurant, a Michelin and green-starred restaurant by Nicolas Conraux. Her meeting with Nicolas has evolved her way of cooking. He taught her how to use miso, shio koji, amazaké, sea salt, probiotics to bring more flavors and move towards healthy food.
It is with this inspiration and in collaboration with Nicolas that she offers this menu.
