Folle Asie
Fascinated by Asia, I travel there regularly and love nothing more than to stroll around the markets and taste the delicious street food. I feel deeply moved by the rural way of life, peasants and timeless cultures, the respectful understanding of nature but also the richness of the products and the wonderful cuisines of the countries that I love. In the markets of Vietnam, an abundance of fresh herbs that are unfamiliar, surprising and provocative bring an aromatic depth and an incomparable refinement to the cuisine.
I always feel good in Bangkok, where I love to snack on sweet and salty dishes that are natural, light and not too fatty – and I adore pad Thai!
The contrast is great with Singapore where, far from the rural world, you can taste an international cuisine that is extremely sophisticated, created by real talents in restaurants that are luxurious, modern and varied.
China inspires me, especially the Beijing Summer Palace and its carefully constructed views of nature. It's worth taking time to understand the complexity of the country's great culinary tradition. There is a quest for harmony and health in the balance of raw and cooked, the use of colour on the plate, and an approach to presentation reminiscent of the washed painting style, like a fog: this is what appeals to me.

So beautiful, so incredible, the dragon fruit
