The man who put the village of Saint-Bonnet-le-Froid on the map of great culinary destinations is also famous for his commitment to causes close to his heart, starting with training, promoting apprenticeships and passing on knowledge to the young (including running the village canteen to cultivate “eating well”). Sustainable development is an indispensable ingredient in everything he does. A case in point is his involvement alongside Thierry Marx in the GoodPlanet Foundation, working on food waste issues.
As a man with a global outlook, along with his wife Michèle and their children, he sponsors and supports the Sala Baï school in Cambodia. He visits it regularly, raising awareness and training cooks to teach there. Every year, with the support of the Ferrandi-Paris school, it organizes a fundraising dinner for Agir pour le Cambodge.
