Gratin de Christophine

Cultural Context

Gratin de Christophine hails from the Caribbean, particularly popular in Martinique. This dish showcases the christophine, or chayote, a versatile vegetable that absorbs flavors beautifully. Traditionally served as a side dish, it reflects the region's love for rich, creamy preparations. Today, variations exist across the Caribbean, often featuring local cheeses and spices, making it a beloved comfort food.
