| Alain Ducasse Formation Executive Chef Orchestrate - 10/2/2009 |
Alain Ducasse Formation extended a helping hand through its executive chef Christophe Larrat.Christophe Larrat, executive Chef of Alain Ducasse Formation in France, flew in to Manila recently and orchestrated a charity wine dinner named Plaisirs de la Table. In tandem with Marc Chalopin, executive chef of the partnership ADF+Enderun, they served “Pleasures of the Table” by executing recipes inspired by the philosophy of what Alain Ducasse imagined for the Plaza Athénée, Ducasse’s Parisian restaurant bearing three Michelin stars. At 101 by ADF+Enderun, the application restaurant of Enderun Colleges run in partnership with ADF, guests were treated to a four-course meal of Mediterranean-inspired dishes, paired with exquisite wines from Espa Fil Corporation and Premium Wine Exchange. The menu consisted of an appetizer of Mediterranean Fish a la Niçoise; Black Rice alla Fiorentina; Beef Steak and Roasted Winter Vegetables served in Natural Juices; and an exquisite dessert of Louis XV of Chocolate Chips and Pralines. Through these dishes, Chef Larrat demonstrated values that are at the heart of the ADF culinary arts and teaching philosophy: excellence, respect, passion, curiosity, authenticity, hard work; working with the best available products and the best cooking techniques. Chef Larrat’s first project with Alain Ducasse was the opening of the restaurant at the Raymond Poincaré Avenue in Paris. After sitting as the ambassador chef of La Maison Troisgros for several years, he decided to transmit his passion in culinary arts and the Ducasse philosophy through overseeing the operation of Alain Ducasse Formation as its executive chef. Alain Ducasse is the most celebrated of modern French chefs, with a collection of more than twenty restaurants worldwide, including two three-star Michelin restaurants in two different continents. He established Alain Ducasse Formation (ADF) in France to focus on three complementary activities: publishing and providing training and consultancy services to the world’s top chefs. In 2007, the training center partnered with Enderun Colleges in the Philippines to provide rigorous training in foundational and cutting-edge culinary methods using ADF teaching methodologies to set new standards of culinary education in Asia. With the collaboration, students earn an ADF certificate as they study for their Enderun’s bachelor’s degrees. They may also have the opportunity to take up their industry internships in the kitchens of Alain Ducasse restaurants all over the world. Profits from Plaisirs de la Table benefits Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP), a corporate-led, non-profit social development foundation in the Philippines. It goes to the relief efforts that assist communities affected by Typhoon Ondoy in Cainta, Marikina, Pasig City, and Quezon City. |
