Nicknamed the ‘pope of gastronomy’, Paul Bocuse reinvented French cuisine with a revolutionary idea: getting chefs out of their kitchens and into direct contact with diners. Carving dishes at the table, flambéing, and culinary sleight of hand: the chef thus became the star of a real show, much to the delight of diners! Today, the greatest chefs of the new generation are following suit: Jérôme Banctel, in his Parisian palace, or Jordi Roca… Chefs are “breaking down the wall” of their kitchens!
