DEATH ANNOUNCEMENT OF MONSIEUR PAUL BOCUSE

 

The Worldchefs
President Thomas Gugler, the Board of Directors, all our worldwide Community of
Chefs and the office team is deeply saddened by the loss of Monsieur Paul Bocuse
today! Our thoughts go out to his family and friends on this sad day for the
cuisine!

Monsieur Paul was a French chef based in Lyon who was known
for the high quality of his restaurants and his innovative approaches to
cuisine Former student of Eugenie Brazier also called “La Mère Brazier”, Paul was one of the most promising chef working on the “Nouvelle Cuisine”

 

Monsieur Paul was really committed to the French Gastronomy. He trained some of the
best chefs that are performing nowadays. Since 1987, the Bocuse d’Or was seen
as the most prestigious award for Chefs around the world. Monsieur Paul himself received
numerous awards throughout his career, including the medal of Commandeur de la Légion
d'honneur.

 

The culinary
institute of America honoured Monsieur Paul in their Leadership Awards Gala
on 30 March 2011. He received the “Chef of the Century” award. In
July 2012

 

In 1975, he
created “La soupe aux truffes” for a presidential dinner at the Elysée
Palace. Since then, the soup has been served in Bocuse's restaurant near Lyon
as Soupe V.G.E. VGE being the initials of former president of France Valéry
Giscard d'Estaing.

 

Monsieur Paul's main restaurant is the luxury restaurant l'Auberge du Pont de Collonges,
near Lyon, which has been serving a traditional menu for decades. It is one of
a small number of restaurants in France to receive a three-star rating by the Michelin
Guide. He also operated a chain of brasseries in Lyon, named Le
Nord, l'Est, Le Sud and l'Ouest, each of which specializes
in a different aspect of French cuisine.

 

In 2004 the
Institut Paul Bocuse Worldwide Alliance was created. In 2014 the Alliance
brought together, in Lyon school and university students of 14 nationalities
for a course.

 

Monsieur Paul died on
20 January 2018 in Collonges-au-Mont-d'Or; in the same room above his
restaurant, L'Auberge du Pont de Collonges in which he was born in 1926.

 

“Monsieur Paul represented the French gastronomy worldwide with his techniques, his
knowledge and his commitment to the people he trained. Monsieur Paul is a Chef
among Chefs and my thoughts go out to his son Jerome and his daughter Françoise.”

Said Thomas Gugler, President of Worldchefs.

Welcome to our guide of pairing Dilmah Tea with Cheese!

Pairing Dilmah Tea with Cheese

Tea, like wine, has a wide spectrum of taste depending on the type, terroir and flavour. Pairing cheese with tea completes the flavour on palate and completes the experience. The bacteria and enzymes in cheese helps digestion, so does tea, which makes tea and cheese a wonderful and a healthy pairing! To create good pairings, it is important to feel and understand the relationship between the taste of cheese and tea.

•Complementary tastes – with similar flavours / textures / components working together.
•Contrasting tastes – where two distinct flavours / textures / components show off each other.
Simple guidelines to create tea and cheese pairings to suit your palate:
•Complex, rich tasting, stronger character tea stands up well to blue veined cheese that has an assertive taste.
•Strong, dark black tea with malty flavours marries well with creamy cheese since the weight of the tea and the richness of the cheese are matched.
•Malty / low grown teas pair well with strong flavoured cheeses such as smoked cheeses & aged cheeses.
•Pepper in cheese renders a spicy note, so the cheese finds a good foil in a fruity tea, sweetened or not.
•White and green teas contain less aggressive and less astringent tasting polyphenols, hence they are thought to be more difficult to pair with cheese. However, vegetal notes of green teas mirror some of the grassy nuances in certain cream cheeses.
•Green teas & oolong teas take well to herbed cheese and flavoured cream cheeses.
•Tea with lemon or herbal teas can be a good match to tangy goat or aged cheeses.
