Amandine Chaignot x Antoine Jacobsohn: For a taste of the living
A gardener and a chef, an engineer and a cook, both passionate about the other's world - he of the restaurant, she of the kitchen garden. The meeting was natural, even inevitable. Amandine Chaignot invited Antoine Jacobsohn to her first restaurant in Paris, Pouliche.
Amandine Chaignot's exemplary career has taken her from gourmet restaurants to a country bistro in the heart of the Perche region, leading her to turn her kitchen into a field of experimentation for the common good. Now at the helm of four restaurants, including three in Paris, she embodies a new generation of free-spirited chefs.
