Stirring tribute after French chef's cookbook found
A top French chef whose recipe book went missing while he gave a
masterclass in Russia has been reunited with the precious journal after
a woman found it in a local park, the news agency Interfax reported
Friday.
The cookbook belonging to two-star Michelin chef Thierry Drapeau, in
which he had written 20 years of recipes, disappeared as he gave a class
in Yekaterinburg, the largest city in Russia's Urals region.
The local woman who found the book received a 10,000 euro ($13,000)
reward from the restaurateur in Yekaterinburg who hosted Drapeau,
Interfax said."Thanks so much for your help. I have fallen in love with
Yekaterinburg, a town where the people are good and ready to help others
who are in a tight spot," Drapeau was quoted as saying by the agency. It
was not clear how the book ended up in the park. |
