Nostalgic Cooks Another French Paradox

Why is it that French chefs tend to develop a syndrome of professional nostalgia? Educated to work in the most prestigious restaurants, they soon discover another reality in common foodservices and are viewed as having made an egotistical professional choice. Regardless of the improvement in their working conditions, their identity is distorted. This book describes foodservices as a whole, including international and inter-industry comparisons in the sociological field of gastronomical professionals, in an attempt to analyze their identities in different stages and diversities.Meriot, Sylvie-Anne is the author of 'Nostalgic Cooks Another French Paradox', published 2006 under ISBN 9789004143463 and ISBN 9004143467.
