At 12 years old, Alain Ducasse had never been to a restaurant. Less than 15 years later, he received his first Michelin star. Today he is one of just two chefs to have been awarded 21 stars. Now, Ducasse shares a lifetime of culinary inspirations and passions in a book that is part memoir and part manifesto. 'Good Taste' takes us on a journey from his childhood, where he picked mushrooms with his grandfather on a farm in Les Landes, to setting up groundbreaking schools and restaurants across the world. He is now taking off his chef's whites and passing on what he knows to the next generation. Ducasse writes a poignant ode to the humble vegetables that have inspired his entire cuisine and to the masters that guided him along the way, from Paris to New York to Tokyo. As he looks to the future, he reflects on just what 'good taste' means.
