«Life Is a Menu» is the autobiography with recipes by Michel Roux, published by Constable and Robinson in hardback (288 pages, in English).
Michel Roux looks back on his life from the age of fourteen, when he started as an apprentice in a Paris patisserie, to his success in Britain at the helm of the Waterside Inn in Bray. He organises his memories like the courses of a menu and combines anecdotes with recipes, from his mother's soup to baked eggs with truffle.
Subtitled «Reminiscences and Recipes from a Master Chef», it was published in October 2000 and corresponds to the first edition.
For lovers of French cuisine and chefs' memoirs, with recipes for those who want to try Roux's dishes at home.
Michel Roux, OBE, also known as Michel Roux Snr., was a French chef and restaurateur working in Britain. Along with his brother Albert, he opened Le Gavroche, which subsequently became the first three Michelin starred restaurant in Britain and The Waterside Inn, which was the first restaurant outside France to hold three stars for 25 years.
