Cuckoo bread, meadowsweet, chickweed, yarrow, these are pretty words that she likes to say. And pick up there at the Dent de Broc, in the Friborg Pre-Alps. Anne-Marie Maillard lives in Charmey, a little further down. But from Monday to Wednesday, she walks the paths, escapes into the fields, blends in among the wooded shadows. More than the nose, it is the eye that guides it.
Sharp, accustomed gaze. She spots the epiary or the aegopod from afar. Two or three cloth bags on the back, of different colors, where the picking fails. She is the daughter of a farmer, knows where to put her feet, avoids tall grass so as not to trample, does not maraud, only seizes what is commonly called the common good. On her return, she carefully washes the herbs, spreads them in trays, and packages them in the refrigerator. On Thursday, delivery men come by and leave with his harvest. Head to Glion with starred chef Stéphane Décotterd or Cerniat with restaurateur Nicolas Darnauguilhem from Pinte des Mossettes.
