Alain Passard and his L'Arpege

In our local paper yesterday, there was an article featuring an interview with Alain Passard - a three-Michelin-starred chef who runs the L'Arpege restaurant in Paris. L'Arpege is one of the most famous restaurant in the world and dining there costs around 500 dollars per head, drinks excluded. Alain Passard is not a vegetarian, but he has a passion in cooking with fruits and vegetables. He said he has no creativity when it comes to cooking dead animals. Comparing beef with vegetables and fruit, beef is red, bloody and lifeless, and he prefers vegetables and fruits as they are alive and full of colour. With his passion for veggies, Passard has also removed red meat from his restaurant menu.
