Including 632 starred establishments, the 2019 vintage has grown this year with 75 new establishments gaining either one, two or three stars: a record level never seen before. Commenting on the new selection, Gwendal POULLENNEC, International Director of the MICHELIN Guides, said: “This year, more than any other, the MICHELIN Guide France is demonstrating a gastronomic France that excels on all fronts. From remarkable regional dynamism, to showcasing new talented youngsters, and to an unprecedented number of new star-studded restaurants led by women, the 2019 vintage shines brightly in many ways”. Nestled at the foot of the mountains that protect the city of Menton, Mirazur , brilliantly led by the chef Mauro COLAGRECO, gets three stars in the 2019 selection of the MICHELIN Guide. In front of the Mediterranean Sea which unfolds and stretches as far as the eye can see, the chef allows his customers to live a unique and enchanting gastronomic moment. Here, the dishes on offer invariably follow the cycle of the seasons and magnify with delicacy and subtlety the products of the sea and the mountains, as well as the fruit and vegetables cultivated in the kitchen garden of the chef. At Mirazur , the menu is always full of amazing surprises that play with textures and combine bold flavours with simple and colourful presentation. This year Le Clos des Sens also receives the highest distinction of the MICHELIN Guide.

  • Reinventing Classics: the Hidden Design Strategies of Renowned Chefs
    Reinventing classics: the hidden design strategies of renowned Chefs Marine Agogué(1), Armand Hatchuel(2) (1) HEC Montréal (2) Centre de GestionScientifique, Mines ParisTech, France Abstract Reinventing classics is a well-used yet complex design pattern. Indeed, a reinterpreted classic needs to relate to the original object while simultaneouslychallenging the initial model and providinga new and fresh look tothe well-established classic. However, this design strategy remains understudied, and we aim to contribute to the literature by addressing the lack of theoretical models for reinventing classics. Reinterpreting tradition is a key process for chefs in the culinary world.Our paper explores how design theories elucidate how chefs reinterpret classics and innovate in their kitchens by stepping away from tradition. Our contribution to the study of design is two- fold.First, from a methodological point of view, we used a framework based on C-K theory and axiomatic design theory to conduct a comparative analysis of recipes for 30 dishes that were reinterpreted by the renowned chef Alain Ducasse. Second, our study identifiedtwo design regimesused by chefs to reinvent classics by focusing on the nature of the set of functions a recipe aims to fulfill. The first regime consists of retaining the same functionsfrom the original recipewhile changing themeans to achieve them. The second requires changing the set of functionsby removing old ones, adding new ones and occasionally designing new ways to achieve the functions. 1. Introduction: modeling culinary innovation Reinventingclassics is a well-known design strategy used in many fields: Fiat redesigned the myth of the Fiat 500, Picasso proposed his own version of Manet’sLuncheon on the Grass, and Murakami drew cherry blossoms on the iconic Louis Vuitton Speedy handbag.

I am thus a happy cook! My inspiration comes from a combination of the Southwest of France, where I grew up and from the Mediterranean, which seduced me from a young age. But I also remain a curious cook. My roots carry me but do not hold me down. My arrival in Monaco was a magical and momentous moment in my life. It is on this rock, nestled between France and Italy that I encountered my Riviera. I know today that this land was my destiny. All my cooking is inspired from this area that sings sunlight. From it, I draw strength and truth. « Riviera »: the word alone echoes a certain invitation to dolce farniente. However, the Riviera is a land of farmers and breeders who, historically, have toiled to bring abundance from an arid land.

    FODOR’S PROVENCE AND THE FRENCH RIVIERA, 9th EDITION: ACTIVITIES FOR EVERY TRAVELER Being Scott and Zelda Married new money? Made a stock market killing? Or just remember the old adage “If you don’t travel first class, your heirs will”? Well, the Riviera has been a hard place to practice self- denial ever since F. Scott Fitzgerald arrived with the rest of his Jazz Age literati. So drain that glass of Dom. Enough lollygagging! It’s time for a power decision: which luxurious pleasure palace will you treat yourself to? Hey, if you can’t be self-indulgent on the French Riviera, where can you be? Cap–Eden Roc, Cap d’Antibes. Where once Hemingway ordered another Pernod and Zelda wore her latest Poiret, this famous hotel is today the rendevous of the film stars. You may find Michael and Catherine in the bar, Harrison behind his Herald-Tribune, and Barbra keeping a low profile under her parasol by the cliff edge pool. Try to be cool and focus on the menu. Château de la Chevre d’Or, Èze. Seemingly set just below cloud level, this sky-high aerie occupies some of the choicest real estate in Èze, that magical island-in-the-sky perched 1,500 feet over the sea and St-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. Little wonder the views out your window rival those from a NASA space capsule. La Colombe d’Or, St-Paul-de-Vence. Yes, those are real Picassos, Mirós, Braques, and Bonnards over your dinner table.
