WHERE DO YOU THINK CONSCIOUS CUISINE IS GOING? ARE LOCAL-INSPIRED, SEASONAL FLAVORS HERE TO STAY, FOR A WHILE AT LEAST? I think that we all tend to be increasingly environmentally conscious, and eating local seasonal produce is now more than a trend, it is a firmly grounded tendency. At Relais & Châteaux, we are committed to preserving local culture, and defending agricultural and marine resources. We endorsed this ambition, in keeping with the preservation of the environment, through the Relais & Châteaux Vision, presented to UNESCO in November 2014. WHAT ARE YOUR TOP THREE FAVORITE DISHES? Vegetable Jardinere – just picked vegetables, native herbs and blossoms Native Halibut – caramelized fennel, kohlrabi, chamomile, bouillon Don Hopkins Lamb – glazed roulade, artichoke, spinach, leek, fenugreek Lobby ILHA 13
