Bistrot C.’s market casseroles Forget
Publié le 18 April 2025 par su_laetis
In Brive, the chef of Bistrot C. Forget is the embodiment of local, creative and committed cuisine. A passionate advocate of local produce, he shares his love of gastronomy through his bistro, his presence at the market, his YouTube channel La Cuisine Décomplexée... and even in workshops, to pass on his know-how in a practical and friendly way.
As a reminder, Bistrot C. Forget is a family business that took over the gastronomic restaurant La Crémaillère some twenty years ago and has since transformed it into a top-of-the-range Bistrot. The restaurant is also one of the Tables Gaillardes.
Bistrot C Forget: rooted in local life
Christophe Forget brings this philosophy to life on a daily basis in his Brivoise bistro, where the menu showcases the flavours of Correze in a warm, contemporary style. The cuisine is seasonal, generous and sincere, and highlights the work of local artisans.
And every Saturday morning, he can be found at the Brive market, casserole in hand, offering takeaway dishes cooked with the produce of the day's market. It's a direct and tasty way of linking the producer, the cook and the customer.

Cookery courses: workshops to learn... and enjoy!
Want to go from spectator to actor? Christophe Forget also offers culinary workshops open to all (professionals and private individuals), to learn how to cook local produce live, guided by the chef himself. These workshops are designed in the same spirit as his videos: kindness, simplicity and the pleasure of doing things together.
Whether it's a question of mastering a technique, discovering a seasonal product or simply having a good time around the stove, these workshops are a real link between the chef and those who share his passion for taste and local produce.
As chef Christophe Forget explains, "I want to pass on my love for this profession. Cooking is a unique universe that deserves to be shared".
A YouTube channel

It's a platform where Christophe Forget shares his vision of cooking: authentic, joyful, local, and above all accessible to everyone. Through relaxed, educational videos, he shows that cooking with local produce is not complicated - in fact, it's a real pleasure.
Each recipe celebrates ingredients from short distribution channels, local producers and a certain idea of generous cuisine. He offers seasonal dishes, practical tips, and lots of good humour, in a format that will appeal to enlightened amateurs and beginners alike.
