Chef Yves Thuriès

In 1977, Yves Thuriès published the first volume of his collection publishes Recipes of a Tour of France Companion. He was then a Confectioner, but in a few years, ten volumes of work were to confirm his status as one of France's great chefs.

His confectioner diplomas won, Yves Thuriès presented his credentials for Master Chef, and he thus become a Mate of the Tour of France. Still specializing in pastries, however, he began to think that the profession rarely changed, and he wished to breath new life into the profession without disowning its past.

As he contemplated writing, Yves Thuriès imagined some recipes that, while standing on tradition, present new ideas,  flavors and presentations. But he also wanted to produce books that were both beautiful and educational. 

At the same time, Yves Thuriès was preparing for the French Master Chefs contest. This contest takes place every four years; and for the professional chef, it is a consecration. In 1976, Yves Thuriès entered two contests twice won titles of Better Chef of France confectioner-caterer and Better Chef of France chocolatier-glacier.

Soon, Yves Thuriès finished the first volume of his encyclopedia. All professional chefs know the rest of the story.
