boredsurfin, she lived in Bourg d'Oisans, and was working in Serre Che, Alpe D'Huez and possibly Montgenevre I think. I don't think she was cooking at 3000m . Oh and Les Deux-Alpes of course.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Hells Bells, - in the interests of science I think you should also try your steamed pudding in a pressure cooker!

I think the main problem with English tea at altitude is down to the fact you can't get the water to near 100 degrees. So it doesn't steep the same way as tea at or near sea level.
Steam however is steam whether at 0m or 3000m so the yorkies should still rise.
8 eggs
220g of plain white flour
600ml of milk
Salt
Pepper
Smoking hot fat in a tin
Hot oven at about 200-220 for 35-45mins

Snow and Sunshine, I'm perfectly happy to use a pressure cooker, in fact I had mine out last night as I had forgotten to put the shin of beef in the slow cooker, and wanted to eat before midnight. I always make my Christmas pudding in it, as well as stock from bones, and broth. Yorkshire tea bags are the only ones we've found that makes decent tea at altitude, even in Val Thorens. It isn't as strong as at 80m above sea level though I do find making it in a pot helps.

ansta1, agreed, steam is still steam at 95C (or whatever it happens to be).

It depends what you want from it Scott. If you want to make enough money to make ends meet then you’ll need more than one property, in a convenient location, or a small hotel. Running something of that size will be long hours and a 7 day a week job (during the season), that does suit some people but it is a pretty full-on job.

I’d hope the OP had made a decision in 8 years …

He moved to Valmorel a few years ago and was running a hotel / chalet outside the main resort. I stayed there a couple of times - once just before Covid, and once just before Christmas last year. So he was still active this season; though Covid followed by a poor season may have been enough for him. It's a shame if he has packed up as the chalet was great, he's a really nice and accommodating guy; and Valmorel is a great ski area.

You know it makes sense.

He's still registered for tax; couldn't find any other information.

Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:

He lives year round in France - his family base is Burgundy somewhere. I hope he will be running the chalet next season, as we were hoping to go back...
