Raymond Blanc, Le Manoir
aux Quat' Saisons
"We are not interested in the
good...
we are interested in the sublime -
that is the difference."
"Le Manoirs vegetable garden,
growing more than 80 varieties
of vegetables and herbs organically"

The table remains a powerful symbol of friendship
and celebration of life. In my family we could just about
read the menu by listening to the conversation - a light
start with drinks, the crossing of the bread by my atheist
father followed by the main course of massive discussions
on religion, garnished with polictics and, of course, the
topic of sex for dessert...
At which point my extremely devout Catholic mother would hurriedly leave the
room. |
