Romain and Florent, in love with southwestern gastronomy, have launched an original concept to make the Occitans cook: directly on their website, you just have to choose the recipes that please you and the number of people around the table, then the Popotte Brothers deliver you a basket with all the ingredients and raw products! If you only want a few delicatessen products, they offer preserves, condiments and delicacies by the unit. Don't miss the famous cassoulet of the Popotte Brothers, and their signature recipe!
