You know you could learn a thing or two from the 77 best French chefs highlighted in this great new work, Master Chefs of France The Cookbook! It's not who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW. It is also QUE VOUS CONNAISSEZ! If you hit the lovely little translate feature here on the top right and pick french, you will see:
« Ce n'est pas qui vous savez qui compte. C'est que vous connaissez » Le meilleur de Manhattan, la côte Est américaine et l'excellence dans le monde entier. Tout ce que vous avez toujours voulu savoir sur tout le monde et tout qu'il faut savoir sur! Par Peachy Deegan, rédacteur en chef 23.000 Postes depuis 2009. Merci à nos 95.000 Twitter.
Unofficially, French is the second language of Whom You Know.
Peachy studied French in school for 6 years-7th through 12th grades.

If anyone can help Peachy and her friend Chrishaunda find their teacher Mademoiselle Marie-Claire Charton who retired in Marseilles, we are looking for her! She will be delighted to learn that Peachy's head is not an American tossed salad anymore trying to remember the French vocab and now she reviews tossed salads...And tossed salad cookbooks. We love Mlle Charton which is one reason why we look for great French people to feature.
A Peachy's Pick since 2011, Jubilee was most recently featured:
In the nearly nine years we have written Whom You Know, Jubilee has shown the strongest and most consistent performance by any French restaurant, and it only makes sense that their Executive Chef and Owner, Luc Holie, joined Maitres Cuisiniers de France in 2015; this is the group that authored this cookbook. We understand this is their first cookbook ever!
We recommend a glass of Bordeaux to join you in your reading and cooking endeavors.
Each chef submitted for consideration one soup, one appetizer, one fish and one meat. Luc's fish and meat choices were selected and can be found on pages 240-242.
