The Jubilant Dictionary of Committed Cuisine - Thierry Marx

"Do we want to feed stomachs, or do we want to nourish souls?" In this book celebrating chef-driven cuisine, Thierry Marx generously shares a lifelong passion. He invites us to discover his multi-Michelin-starred world through previously unpublished memories and insightful reflections. Do you know all the virtues of a Sunday pot-au-feu? The importance of proper technique? What is a harmonious blend of flavors? What is the connection between cooking and samurai ethics? Through a series of sometimes whimsical and unexpected starters, Thierry Marx brings to life the Paris of his childhood, from the simple, timeless dishes of bistros to the delicate creations of great chefs. Beyond the practice of a craft, we discover the teachings of the great chefs who came before us, the ethics of a profession, and the fundamentals of an art as old as humankind. Through his commitments, Thierry Marx raises awareness of the future of a constantly changing sector, which must respond to the challenges of our time.
