Christophe Hay, chef & Alain Gaillard, gardener, in the Fleur de Loire kitchen garden

Sylvie Berkowicz | 8/7/23

Beyond the now classic image of the chef crouching in his vegetable garden, some chefs actually produce their own vegetables, which implies a close relationship with their gardener. A close relationship that goes beyond the role of simple kitchen supplier. So much so, in fact, that it's hard to tell which is which. Gault&Millau continues its series of cross-portraits. Second episode on the banks of the Loire, with chef Christophe Hay and gardener Alain Gaillard.
