As his name suggests, this Alchemist knows how to assemble the right ingredients to transform sometimes heterogeneous products into dishes harmonious enough to justify the chef's hat. There's never a dull moment with these incursions from elsewhere and these regional traditions: camembert with Bigorre ham, grilled entrecote bao, eggplant parmiggiana and fregola sarda risotto or even cassoulet toulousain "for the bravest". Well-interpreted desserts from the era include chocolate coeur coulant and brioche perdue flambéed with Grand Marnier.
