Alain Ducasse

I don't like being disappointed by somebody I trust. Fortunately, it rarely happens. ”

I am a very eco-friendly chef but a guilty air traveller. ”

There are so many impassioned winemakers. I think there are more impassioned winemakers than chefs. ”

I don't like being a celebrity. ”

For me, going to markets is the best way to understand the soul of a place. ”

Everything that pushes up out of the earth I love. Everything under the earth, root vegetables, I love to cook. ”

If I am going somewhere exotic, I take an empty suitcase with me to bring back the objects I fall in love with. ”

I'm in love with the markets of the world. It's a photograph of a city, a culture. ”

I love any excuse to work with a mortar and pestle. ”

I have a passion for luggage - trunks and so on. I have a collection of them, but I can never resist buying another piece. ”
