Intro

Nico Franzoni and Noah Bachofen are gourmet friends. Switzerland Tourism is sending them on a tour across the country: through three linguistic regions, to unusual locations, and to meet people with a passion for food. Everywhere they go, it’s all about food and the uniqueness of flavors. Nico and Noah’s mission: to gather ingredients from all over Switzerland and cook a menu that represents the country’s diversity. And, of course, to 'cook away' the mythical Röstigraben border. Let’s go. Hold on, laugh along, and enjoy!

Wow, the eggs were just laid and are still warm. Is that already considered a level of doneness?

The essence of Switzerland

The Alpine sea buckthorn is the lemon of the mountains - it is used by the shooting star of Swiss gourmet gastronomy Sven Wassmer, star chef of the multiple award-winning restaurant "Memories". Harvested by hand at an altitude of 1600 metres, Alpine sea buckthorn finds its way onto the plate of gourmet cuisine - in Switzerland, nature is put on the plate.
