Gaston Lenotre

At the beginning of the 20th century, exquisite French cuisine was widely known as "Grande"; it was a kind of food preparation centered on rich and substantial foods filled with heavy dairy products and rich sauces (Braux) 35). However, around the 1970 's, chef' s group of like - minds gathered to reform and lighten French cuisine (Braux 35). Chefs such as Michel Guerard, Paul Bocuse and Gaston Lenotre follow the footprints of Fernand Point to develop new cuisines, new dishes and promote (Braux 35).

I am from Brussels' Roger Verge, Jacques Maximim, Gaston Lenotre, Wittamer. When I told Chef's Mark Debailleul (then youngest patissier) to take on work in New York, he yelled at me and refused to talk to me over the next 20 years. He told me at the time that I waste my talent, and to some extent he was right. I was an executive pastry at some of the best venues but I did not make it long enough at the restaurant to name himself like a young pastry. At the time, the food network did not exist. At that time, the chefs in Europe began to leave their name in the field of American cuisine. Forget the pastry. Just a few years later ... it is too late for me. I was married then, and there were children and families to support. I do not have such a crazy time, holiday, vacation time

After working at New York, Austin, Tennessee, Sarasota, Florida, my wife and I opened our own shop called Amandine French Bakery and Cafe. Austin and so on, the only authentic French store at that time. After ten years of hard effort and infinite recession (mainly due to unqualified aid), I tortured my business. This is a difficult decision, but I can not choose it. Who said that a good chef is a good businessman? One thing that made me angry at my career was the excessive influence of the cooking school in that country. This is a huge business, it is a highly profitable business. I know that I used to work for men once. They seem to be trapped in the new-generation chef's "cultivation". What they did not tell you is that there were millions of dampers with huge student loans, and they can not repay $ 8.00 to $ 10.00 an hour after retirement was.
