Part 2 - Interview - Hélène Darroze - Head Chef - Connaught Hotel

Hélène Darroze is one of the most successful and famous Chefs in France, and very interestingly she learnt the ropes by herself when most chefs of her calibre go through a long and difficult apprenticeship. But even more engagingly, her cookery is a mixture of her background in the South West of France where she grew up but also her different trips, the people she met and of course her emotions. As she likes to say “It is what I am which is in the plate”.               Her restaurant in Paris got 2 michelin Stars in 2003 and recently she came to London, seduced by the Connaught Hotel to oversee all kitchens. We met with her at the Connaught Hotel in a busy schedule between Paris and London. Read the intervew here.
