HELENE DARROZE – A TASTE FOR CHALLENGES

It has taken Hélène Darroze less than 15 years to become one of world's most high-profile French chefs. Originally from southwest France, she has been named the best female chef in the world by "World's 50 Best Restaurants", and her range of activities is impressive. Not only is she in charge of the kitchens at London's celebrated Connaught Hotel, she also keeps a vigilant eye on her restaurant in Paris, supervises a restaurant in Moscow or is as comfortable preparing private lunches for 20 diners as she is for 600!
