Alain Ducasse's core values are to pass on his knowledge, and in choosing to open his new cooking school in Paris, he wanted to make his know-how even more accessible. A good bistro dish, a brunch, a vegetable casserole, the making of bread or a raspberry financier are all on the menu to be taught by passionate chefs trained in the Chef's restaurants.
