Publisher Web Link: http://www.assouline.com/
Alain Ducasse has a grounded obsession, a secret garden, a protected territory - namely, Provence. It’s in Provence that he plays around with his ideas and his flavors, and it’s Provence that provides him with a place where he can catch his breath. Ducasse is, of course, familiar with all the well-known locations, but in this book he chooses to highlight places off the beaten track, the best markets, wineries, villages, the best terraces to have your aperitif. In each chapter, you will find those addresses and phone numbers for guidance. He even includes many recipes to inspire you in the kitchen. The Provence Of Alain Ducasse explores this legendary region, a place full of charm where you can discover something new every day. (http://www.assouline.com/)

ALAIN DUCASSE, A MODERN CHEF
”Alain Ducasse is a truly modern Chef – he fulfils the roles of chef, company director, team leader, school principal, head of PR and chief spokesman, head of personnel, talent spotter, teacher and coach.“ - Jean-François Revel, “L’Atelier de Alain Ducasse“
He involves himself in every aspect of the business, from choosing interior designers, to recruiting staff, to launching his new restaurants in Monaco, Paris, New York, Moustiers-Sainte-Marie and even La Celle en Provence.
There is also the “Ducasse” label, seen at prestigious events in the Raffles Hotel in Singapore, at Margaux in the Bordeaux region, always in collaboration with the very best exponents in their field, to create products of the highest quality. (http://www.alain-ducasse.com/)
