Young French Chef's Chinese Cuisine Wows Michelin Food Guide
The honour for Adeline Grattard, 32, and Yam'Tcha, her small restaurant near Paris's Louvre museum, was a break from the norm for the 101-year-old guide, sometimes criticised as too traditional and out-of-touch.
Grattard attributes the success of the restaurant -- which opened just a year ago -- partly to her Chinese influences, which are less common in Paris than the Japanese or Thai fusion practiced by other French chefs.
Yam'Tcha serves dishes such as mushrooms and chestnuts accompanied by carefully chosen vintage Chinese teas, or suckling pig with aubergines set off by a spicy red Cotes du Rhone wine.
As rumours of her star circulated in the weeks before the guide's release, the chef told AFP that being a woman had also given her an edge among France's male-dominated kitchens.
"That has played a part. Not many women set up all by themselves," said Grattard, who previously worked for two years in Hong Kong where she lived with her Chinese husband.
"I saw and ate lots of things there. My chef encouraged me to bring back whatever I wanted from the market to try it out," she said.
The guide's editor-in-chief, Jean-Luc Naret, said he saw a brave new world taking shape as, in the wake of the economic crisis, young itinerant chefs like Grattard come home to France to roost.
