The name Roux is synonymous in Britian with the qualities of French haute cuisine. Michel Roux Jr was born into Le Gavroche and schooled in its kitchens, where he was imbued with its unique atmosphere and style. As his father’s son, Michel could only have deep respect for the classical foundations of French cooking. However, French cooking, perhaps more than any other in the world has shown a capacity to move with the times, to develop new techniques, to absorb new ideas and ingredients, to re-invent itself without losing a sense of its own cultural identity. It is in those new directions that Michel Roux Jr has taken the cooking of Le Gavroche. A food consultant to the Walbrook Club since 2003, he also consults for the City’s most regarded fine dining providers, Restaurant Associates, and is a Member of the Wine Committee to the Royal Household. In 2010, he opened a second restaurant, Roux at Parliament Square.
Michel Roux Jr has written several books, including Le Gavroche Cookbook, The Marathon Chef, Matching Food and Wine and Cooking with the Master Chef: Food for your Family and Friends. He has made various television appearances, and gained much admiration as expert presenter of Masterchef the Professionals, and Service, based on “front of house”. He is one of the most respected chefs of our time.
