Antonin Bonnet explains:
"The idea is to offer a sophisticated and balanced recipe, which gains in momentum to reach a crescendo. However, it remains technically accessible and will certainly allow any budding cook to have fun, as advertised.
For the recipe, I wanted a pair the meal with a champagne first focusing on a taut and salty opening to give way to complexity and fruity notes. The product choices are in accordance with the season."
MICHELIN-STARRED CHEF
Antonin Bonnet grew up in the Lozère region of France; his mother raised goats and produced cheese. The family vegetable garden awakened his taste buds early on, and spurred a direct relationship with nature that has unceasingly influenced him. After working at the restaurant Oustau de Baumanière in Baux de Provence, followed by an experience with chef Michel Bras in Laguiole, he moved to Paris. In the discreet rue de l'Abbé Grégoire, he established a Michelin-starred restaurant—Quinsou—and a butcher's shop—La Boucherie Grégoire—which foster an intelligent exchange between ethical sourcing and gastronomy.
