Chef Christopher Hache's Brilliant New Recipe

In Paris, they are many brilliant young chefs who can cook you a remarkable meal. This, of course, is why the French capital remains hands down the western world’s best food town. However, young chefs who can cook you a remarkable meal and also create a restaurant experience that’s framed by the social, psychic and visual pleasures that come from gracious hospitality, excellent service and a beautiful dining room are very much rarer indeed. Christopher Hache, 36, is one of them, and this is what makes him such an interesting man.
