What dish gives you the most pleasure to cook?
With “Le Saint-Trop'” as the restaurant name, it was almost obvious! Fish in general is really what I prefer to cook and sublimate.
What dish would you absolutely not be able to eat?
Eh… Strangely enough, none!
Do you have a particular memory or anecdote in the kitchen to share with us?
My meeting with former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl during the stay in Saint-Paul de Vence of the German soccer team that was then competing in the 1998 World Cup.
If you were a sweet dish, you would be:
A good crispy Arlette (a finely crispy and caramelized tuile made with puff pastry and powdered sugar). It’s scrumptious and you can dress it up to make different desserts (as a mille feuilles with red fruits, for example).
If you were a savory dish, you’d be:
Once again, the simplest dishes are often the best! So I’d say a tasty prime rib.
If you were a hashtag, you’d be:
