人物传记类
1、Dominique Crenn became the first woman in the U. S. to receive two Michelin stars, making herself a new star in the male-dominated restaurant world.
In addition to her award-winning flagship restaurant Atelier Crenn, the San Francisco-based chef also operates a second restaurant, Petit Crenn, and a third, Bar Crenn.
"Both of my parents come from farming families in Brittany, France. I spent a lot of time on the farm during the holidays and was fascinated by the connection with the soil and earth. My dad's best friend was a food writer and critic, so I was very lucky to eat in beautiful Michelin-starred restaurants."
"Food is a huge part of French culture, so my mom and my grandmother were both great cooks. My mother used to take me to the farmers' market every week. When we were cooking together, it was not about learning a recipe—it was about the story behind the recipe. She spent hours and hours in the kitchen, and I loved being there with her. But no one in my family did it professionally."
"As a young girl, being a chef did not cross my mind—I wanted to conquer the world. I wanted to play with my brother. I wanted to be a famous photographer. Photography is all about catching a moment in time, telling stories and capturing emotions. Whal I'm doing now is basically the same thing except I'm painting on ihe plate.
"I never doubted myself when I opened my first restaurant. You've got to give 100% of yourself until you know you've done it. But it was still a struggle. I opened Atelier Crenn in 2011 , coming out of a time of crisis. But I had a vision and I had to try, and I made it rny mission to stay positive. Seven years later, I'm still here, and I'm expanding.
"My daughters love to cook, but more than that, I hope I provide them with an example of how to be kind, to be respectful, to be a good listener and to be a good leader."
