But he has also cooked for renowned organisations in other sectors around the world, such as Bivouac Catering, which provides catering for the World Rally Championship (WRC), and even Warner Bros!

At just 31 years old, Quentin Dorangeville has drawn on his wealth of experience to strike out on his own as an entrepreneur.
Eager to leave the hustle and bustle of Lyon behind and recharge their batteries close to nature, he and his partner set their sights on a historic building in the Bourbonnais region, where they set up their restaurant and gourmet catering service: Dorangeville.
It is a place that allows them to reconnect with the forest, which has been dear to the chef since his earliest childhood, thanks to its proximity to the largest and most beautiful oak forest in Europe: the Tronçais Forest.
