For the 4th consecutive year, the Association Jean-Claude Vrinat responded last night to the action of Les Bouffons de la Cuisine (association created by chef Michel Trama) by organizing a festive meal at Les Restos du Coeur. After Guy Savoy, Stéphanie Le Quellec and Christian Le Squer, Manon Fleury has accepted this year to contribute to this evening. This meal was prepared and served by the students of the school Médéric École Hôtelière de Paris, following the young chef's recipes and thanks to the contribution of our partners Métro, Elle & Vire, Bridor and Valrhona. The dinner ended with a galette des rois Infiniment amande offered by pastry chef Pierre Hermé.
