French chefs flip tradition
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The ultra-opinionated Parisian chefs responsible for the creative cooking movement Le Fooding are challenging palates again with Les Incorrects or Improper Food. The week-long Paris culinary event of 2009 will finish up on December 7 and not without turning stomachs and perhaps minds around the world.
Raw horse meat, butterfat and rotten cheese give the event's title its meaning, with one chef suggesting "People should talk about it less and just eat it".
Challenging the establishment of traditional French cooking, Le Fooding blends food with feeling. It's about "Intuition, the emotional and psychological reaction you have to a restaurant. Good food doesn't taste good unless you're happy," asserted its founder Alexandre Cammas on gourmet.com.
It's a philosophy that's spreading ever wider with a Le Fooding event held earlier this year in New York, and the publication of the 2010 French restaurant guide of the same name. 2010 will also mark the 10th anniversary for Le Fooding whose organiwers informed Relaxnews that they will announce ten individual events over the course of the year to celebrate.
Les Incorrects will close with the presentation of the annual Fooding prize for the best cooks, restauranteurs, interior designers and gastronomers in France.
