Once a master rôtisseur, French chef Alain Passard has spent the last 16 years leading a revolution in vegetarian world cuisine
It’s a little disconcerting to meet a world-famous three Michelin star French chef when he’s dressed in just pyjamas and slippers. It’s even more bewildering when you know that Alain Passard, this particular chef, perhaps more than any other, has been responsible for a revolution in world cuisine. You’d expect him to be more… imposing. Perhaps even a little pompous. But here he is in his pyjamas and slippers in India, checking out the produce at Tijara Organic Farm, Rajasthan.

“By returning to seasonality, something unique will happen. Whenever you’ll go to a restaurant, you’ll witness the singularity of a chef’s work, just like a good play or an opera.”
