Next week I leave for Paris to participate in the first Paris-based Park Hyatt Masters of Food & Wine event, September 21 - 25. I was invited by Executive Chef Jean-Francois Rouquette of Park Hyatt Paris-Vendome's Michelin-starred Pur' restaurant to work alongside Jean Sulpice, executive chef of L'Oxalys, a one-Michelin star restaurant in Val Thorens, France, and the up-and-coming Benjamin Toursel of L'Auberge du Prieure in Moirax, France.
The festival begins with a welcome reception at the Park Hyatt Paris-Vendome, where guests will have the opportunity to meet the six participating chefs, including myself, followed by a series of exclusive dinners over the next four nights. In addition to the dinner, the hotel will also host a cultural program, Discovery of Paris, which includes cocktail classes, a trip to Billecart-Salmon Champagne House and a tour of the Boucheron factory.
Au revoir!
