“You must read in a plate the chef’s tenderness for the people; I think that’s the key for good food. I’m not a technician, I try to translate emotions into a dish, if only that; and I try to teach that to my team…”

Pierre Gagnaire is recognized by his peers as one of the greatest chefs in the world. He runs 14 restaurants in Paris, London, Berlin, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Dubai, Seoul, Las Vegas and Moscow. He is a man in constant motion, and from up close he seems to be on the alert all the time.
