A series of posts on incredible, inspiring women
One of only a few women to ever receive 3 stars since Michelin Guide began. Anne-Sophie Pic has become the queen of French cuisine.
Visited her gorgeous dining room in Valence, France recently. She took me around on a behind the scenes tour of her kitchen. Works meticulously yet assertively in her stunning dream kitchen. Elegantly dressed in white in a charming courtyard garden.
Each element of food has a part to play with exceptional precision, grace. Pic’s kitchen embodies her approach to cuisine – harmony, love. She has a sublime, nurturing feminine ethos.
“To me, what really matters is that a cuisine must be emotional. Taste has a beginning and an end, I want to make it last as long as possible!”
In addition to flagship Maison Pic Restaurant, she runs André (Valence) a casual bistro, restaurant in Paris (1 star), London called La Dame de Pic (2 stars), Lausanne (2 stars), Singapore Raffles Hotel dining called La Dame de Pic (July 2019), a cookery school, an épicerie, 2 quick services called Daily Pic.
Enjoyed an innovative meal at her restaurant opening in Singapore. What a privilege to meet such a gorgeous, gifted woman! A star…
