About This Item
New York: Gotham Books, 2005. Book. Illus. by Illustrated. New. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. First edition. 8vo. Hard cover binding, 354 pp. Remainder. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. Bernard Loiseau was one of only 25 French chefs to hold Europe's highest culinary award, three stars in the Michelin Red Guide, and was personally awarded the Legion of Honor by the president of the republic. Nine out of every ten French citizens knew his name. Yet he shocked the culinary world by taking his own life in February 2003 - the GaultMillau guidebook had recently dropped its ratings of Loiseau's restaurant, and he may have heard he was on the verge of losing a Michelin star (a rumor that proved to be untrue). Rudolph Chelminski, who befriended Loiseau in his youth and remained his close compatriot, offers this insider's account of the chef and of the intense world of gastronomic France. New in new dustjacket, protected with a mylar cover..
