of leone was the birthplace of this revolution. one of his most famous recipes is a truffle soup under a puff pastry crown created in one nine hundred seventy five. some people come to his restaurants just for this soup and he's one of the greatest pioneers he completely embodies have perfected the original product approach all. began to change the course of commentary art in the one nine hundred sixty s. with tastefully arrange seasonal and regional produce he simplified the preparation and emphasized the ingredients original flavor for what was the father of the revolution and you could see him there with the purse and is there was a reward one total was that i thought you know we knew each other for over thirty years is attitude was always fabulous always with open arms he was the best ambassador france ever had any of their promises. born in february one thousand

twenty six he first learned to cook from his grandmother he went on to study with the best in the business the star chef from nonpoint an illusion him because he is the first three star chef in france book who's earned his own first michelin star at just thirty two and the second and third in the following seven years. but cruise maintained his three michelin stars from one thousand nine hundred sixty five on a world record in one nine hundred eighty nine gorm a restaurant guide named him a chef of the century an exceptionally rare honor his recipe for success would appear simple enough if i see reckless looking is very simple a good product or product and properly seasoned one of our craziness traditional and classic feel if he did it just the. seaboard products are good crazy and hot. food too soft the limelight he is credited as the first chef to lead his

kitchen and chat with guests he was feted like a pop star as master chef he insisted on owning his own restaurant so he would retain sole control over the menu and he started the whole ball rolling as was the now we all we all strive to. create new and more exciting things but i was all started by paul because. in the one nine hundred eighty s. koos founded the us the two book use nearly to pass on his knowledge to aspiring shops from the world over but it's not only about cooking they also learned how to manage their own restaurants. he also launched the international cooking competition bocuse door a high profile media event staged to discover young and talented chefs it's become a sort of oscar ceremony for the common area world not enough of them miss it. he's been spreading the word about french cuisine on his travels since one thousand nine

hundred for you and me but it's mainly his doing going to protect your reputation around the world his influence is still felt and we have to continue his work with you. even if the fuse is credited with pioneering nobel cuisine he was never a champion of small portions on big plates on the contrary. he was famous for his lavish desserts but cruise's kitchen was down to earth and experimental at the same time it's helped shape today's cuisine you know so if it wasn't for him then we wouldn't be doing what we're doing today. created this weiss of history the revolution he cooked up on his stove is destined to continue. and we continue with a glass of beer right now but not like usual in a pop or a collab we are joining a very special gym class these days yoga comes in all forms in the german capital
