The country-house hotel and restaurant of self-taught chef Raymond
Blanc have brought him a TV series, as well as cookbooks and a school
of cuisine. Although still showing intensely French loyalties, the
celebrated chef now roams the world for inspiration.
A new lightness,
inspired mainly by Japan and the Mediterranean, is more and more
evident in his creations. More meatless dishes appear on the seasonal
menu, although the classics remain: sweetbread-stuffed pig's trotters,
kidneys, and foie gras, even veal tongue.
