109, the book

Gault&Millau celebrates the new blood in French gastronomy. 109 portraits of chefs who have renewed the scene in the past year, 109 chef recipes to bring young cuisine into the kitchen.

From Mathilde Aguerre and Mathieu Thomas, who reinvented the Basque inn in Sare(Mimosa), to Boris Chapon, who awakens Alès(Lou Bi), or Carla Kirsch(Alebrije), who brings the Lyonnais out of the bouchons, to Marie Dijon, who shakes up Marseille(Caterine) or Mallory Gabsi(Mallory Gabsi), who succeeds in paris's compassed 17th arrondissement... they all embody the dynamic that drives us to try new combinations, test new cooking methods and experiment with new flavors. French gastronomy is alive, vibrant and exciting, and these 109 chefs are the proof.
