GASTRONOMY GOURMET READS —
In 1999, Alain Ducasse created Alain Ducasse Edition, the first French publishing house specialising in the culinary sector. Since then, the market has seen an explosion of interest in cookbooks (“Cookbook Fairs” are now organised the world over), and each year sees the publication of several thousand new books. Within this general cookbook market, works signed by the great Chefs are always on the best-sellers list. Joël Robuchon, Paul Bocuse, Pierre Hermé, Gordon Ramsay, Ferran Adrià,
René Redzepi... The famous names of world gastronomy share their tips and recipes with their readers. Jamie Oliver, prodigy of the British cooking scene and a veteran of this market, is particularly vocal. This chef, who goes by the more familiar name of “The Naked Chef”, brings cooking to the masses by proposing easy-to-prepare recipes, based on kitchen store-cupboard ingredients (Jamie’s Ministry of Food, Jamie’s 15-minute meals, Jamie’s 30-minute meals, to name just a few...). Whether a budding or an experienced chef, everyone can find the cookbook they need here... and cook like a chef!
FOOD CONCEPT SOCIAL DINING: EATING AND MEETING —
It’s the hottest new food trend in France and abroad. Do you eat only with family or friends? Has been! The new craze is to share meals with strangers in your home town or abroad, combining gastronomy with sociability. A host of websites (i.e. “Voulez-vous dîner” or “Beyond Croissant” in France) are dedicated to this new trend. Lunch, dinner, picnic, whatever takes your fancy.... Social dining promises a friendly and convivial experience...
