Denis Bourg grew up in Eastern France. He attended Contrexeville Cooking School in 1927 and by age 17 was Head Chef at La Grenouville restaurant on the island of Saint Martin. Denis ran other Caribbean restaurants then leaving to work across the US before returning to Europe, to Paris and London.

Le Chef is seriously pissed off. Scorpio, 20 years as a long-haired lone-wolf Head Chef in French restaurants: France, Caribbean, USA, London. [Enormous-freaking-tension. Going batshit-crazy]

Another 20 years as Private Chef: London, Ibiza, Saudi Prince, Mick Jagger, Lords & Ladies, moguls. This volume covers my cooking 20s -the Psychedelic ‘70s, Free Love, Disco-mania: 1970-1981. My favorite dish…? Voluptuous Girls. Plus, colour-blind. [Takes-the-cake: f painfully-shy]. [Translation of the original: mine. Le Chef a sérieusement les boules]
