Christophe Dupuy’s recipe

The Chef Dupuy draws attention to our environment, region through the products used in the kitchen and which offers us so many riches and possibilities.

For Less Saves The Planet, he has created the sugary and savoury pineapple salad. We love eating pineapple when the weather is warm and sunny just because its taste and smell remind us of sunshine and vacation. This exotic fruit is full of water and essential nutrients. It is mainly good for bone health; it lowers cancer cells and inflammations. It also aids digestion and blood clots
