Une Vie de Goûts et de Passions

$30 · Offered by Kitchen Arts & Letters

This memoir by one of the world’s most celebrated chefs briskly recounts his life, his inspirations, his obsessions, and his ambitions. The book sweeps from his childhood on a farm and early culinary training that included time in the kitchens of Michel Guerard, Gaston LeNotre, and Roger Verges, to his ascent through the ranks of Michelin-starred chefs and the operation of dozens of restaurants around the world. Although it is not deeply introspective—something that would be hard to achieve in what we estimate to be roughly 10,000 words— Une Vie de Goûts et de Passions reveals the chef as he thinks of himself. Paperback. In French.
