Everywhere in the world there are tensions - economic, political, religious. So we need chocolate.
Alain DucasseI have a very modern way of thinking; the chef is there to lead the team and not just to sit behind the piano.
Alain DucasseThe image foreigners have of French cuisine is fattening and very fancy food. But it's not true - French food isn't just rich. The word "healthy" doesn't exist in French. We have many, many words, but not that one. To me, healthy means paying close attention to feeding people.
Alain DucasseNowadays, food needs to be healthy, local, sustainable and not filled with too much fat, salt or sugar. It should be slow-cooked and seasonal. That's my vision.
