Why publish a book on Alain Chapel thirty years after his death? To try to grasp what "the Chapel spirit" is, embodied in a practice that is both just and visionary, but also to discover the man behind the myth, the stories behind the photos, the anecdotes behind the recipes.

The unforgettable chef from Mionnay, in the Dombes region, has inspired generations of cooks. Several stars of the contemporary young guard continue to claim him as an influence, and the foundations of his cuisine have never been more relevant: rootedness in the territory, a reverence for the product, respect for the seasons, a refusal to waste, a personal connection with producers, serenity in the kitchens, and good food inseparable from pleasure.

This book, compiled from numerous testimonies and mountains of documents meticulously archived by Suzanne Chapel, is enriched with 35 recipes created between 1980 and 1990, some of which remain emblematic of the restaurant.
