Special aspects | My first contact with haute cuisine was in Alsace at the restaurant run by the Haeberlins. The sensational flavour of their goose liver in brioche lives on in my memory as does the visit in 1976 to Paul Bocuse's restaurant in Lyon. There my wife and I invested a month's wages in the legendary truffel soup and other delicacies. To this day I can sense this experience on my tongue. |
