== Biography ==
Robuchon was the most influential French chef of the post-nouvelle cuisine era. From the mid-eighties first at Jamin and at his eponymous restaurant on the rue Poincare he was acknowledged as the primus inter pares of Paris' *** chefs.<ref>"Someone has to be top. In the past decade, nine out of ten restaurant critics would tell you that man is Joel Robuchon";Mcdonagh,Giles;Financial Times Guide - Eating Out in Paris, April 1995</ref>
Robuchon was born in 1945 in [[Poitiers]], France, one of four children of a bricklayer.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=https://www.joel-robuchon.com/en/biographie.php|title=biography Joël Robuchon – Le Monde de Joël Robuchon|website=joel-robuchon.com|language=en|access-date=30 October 2018}}</ref> He attended the seminary in Châtillon-sur-Sèvre (now [[Mauléon, Deux-Sèvres|Mauléon]]), [[Deux-Sèvres]],<ref name="mofcuisine" /> briefly considering a clerical career. In 1960, at the age of 15, he became an apprentice chef at the Relais de Poitiers hotel, starting as a pastry chef.<ref name="mofcuisine" />


After he turned 21, he joined the apprenticeship "[[Compagnons du Tour de France|Compagnon du Tour de France]]", enabling him to travel throughout the country, learning a variety of regional techniques.<ref name="mofcuisine" /> At the age of 29, Robuchon was appointed head chef at the [[Hôtel Concorde La Fayette]], where he managed 90 cooks.<ref name=":1" /> In 1976 he won the Meilleur Ouvrier de France for his craftsmanship in culinary arts.<ref name="mofcuisine">{{Cite web |url=http://mof-cuisine.com/index-4.php |title=Liste des lauréats du concours de Meilleur Ouvrier de France, Classe Cuisine |access-date=25 November 2007 |year=2004 |publisher=Meilleur Ouvrier de France – Cuisine |language=fr |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071128080639/http://mof-cuisine.com/index-4.php |archive-date=28 November 2007 }}</ref> While working as an Executive Chef and Food and Beverage manager of the [[Nikko Hotels|Nikko]] hotel in Paris he gained two [[Michelin stars]].
He was renowned for the relentless perfectionism of his cuisine and a number of glittering signature dishes, notable his cauliflower cream with caviar. His food was seen as instrumental in leading French cuisine away from the excesses - and excesses reductionism of la cuisine nouvelle. In particular his cuisine was seen as hearkening back to a more authentic, even bourgeois French cuisine - the "cusine actuelle" of Patricia Wells' book (re-published as "Simply French") which focused on making each ingredient taste of itself. It is notable that his most famous signature is, of course, his fabulous pomme puree (or, to be more accurate, butter puree with a smudge of potato) - ostensibly a humble dish.


In 1981 he opened his own restaurant, Jamin, which holds the rare distinction of receiving three Michelin stars in the first three years of existence.<ref name=":1" /> In 1984, Jamin was named "Best Restaurant in the World" by International Herald Tribune.<ref name=":0" /> Between 1987 and 1990, he became a regular of cooking shows on French television.
Joel Robuchon opened his latest restaurant, [[L'atelier de Joel Robuchon]], at the Landmark shopping center in [[Hong Kong]] on [[28 November]] [[2006]].


In 1989, prestigious restaurant guide ''[[Gault Millau]]'' named Robuchon the "Chef of the Century". He mentored many famous chefs, including [[Gordon Ramsay]],<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://london.eater.com/2018/8/6/17655468/reaction-joel-robuchon-london-gordon-ramsay-jay-rayner|title=The London Food World Reacts to the Death of Joël Robuchon|work=Eater London|access-date=30 October 2018}}</ref> [[Eric Ripert]],<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.eater.com/2018/8/6/17655280/reaction-chefs-joel-robuchon-death-gordon-ramsay|title=Gordon Ramsay Leads Tributes to Joël Robuchon, Who Has Died at 73|work=Eater|access-date=30 October 2018}}</ref> and [[Michael Caines]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://lympstonemanor.co.uk/an-evening-with-raymond-blanc-michael-caines/|title='A special relationship' – An evening with Raymond Blanc & Michael Caines – Lympstone Manor|date=6 March 2018|work=Lympstone Manor|access-date=30 October 2018|language=en-GB|archive-date=28 January 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190128082809/https://lympstonemanor.co.uk/an-evening-with-raymond-blanc-michael-caines/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
== Notes ==
<references/>


In 1995, seeing many of his peers die of stress and heart attacks, Robuchon retired at the age of 50. He subsequently staged a comeback, opening several restaurants bearing his name around the world. He hosted ''Cuisinez comme un grand chef'' on [[TF1]] from 1996 to 1999; in 2000, he hosted ''Bon appétit bien sûr'' on France 3. Through his various restaurants, including the newly awarded 3-star rating for his restaurant in Singapore, he accumulated a total of 32 ''[[Michelin Guide]]'' stars – the most of any chef in the world.<ref name=":0" />

== Personal life ==
Robuchon and his wife Jeanine, whom he married in 1966, had two children, son Eric Robuchon, a pedicurist and podiatrist based in Paris, and daughter Sophie Kartheiser, who manages a restaurant named La Cour d'Eymet in [[Dordogne]] with her husband, chef François Kartheiser. He also has a son Louis Robuchon-Abe (born 1988) with a Japanese woman. Louis is a wine import company's owner in Japan. Robuchon was survived by his wife, his three children and four grandchildren.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.lanouvellerepublique.fr/a-la-une/tous-heritiers-de-robuchon|title=Tous héritiers de Robuchon|date=18 August 2018|website=lanouvellerepublique.fr}}</ref>

== Legacy ==
Robuchon has been the most influential French chef of the post-[[nouvelle cuisine]] era. Since the mid-1980s, he has been called the ''primus inter pares'' of Paris' three star chefs for his work both at Jamin and at his eponymous restaurant.<ref>{{Cite news

Robuchon has been known for the relentless [[Perfectionism (psychology)|perfectionism]] of his cuisine; he said there is no such thing as the perfect meal – one can always do better. He was instrumental in leading French cuisine forward from the excessive reductionism of ''nouvelle cuisine'' toward a post-modern amalgam of the ''nouvelle'', international influences – especially Japanese cuisine – and even select traditions of ''haute cuisine''. In particular, his style of cooking was often seen as of celebrating the intrinsic qualities of the best, seasonal ingredients (dubbed "''cuisine actuelle''" by [[Patricia Wells]] in her book, ''Simply French'').<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.patriciawells.com/simply-french/|title=Simply French|website=Patricia Wells|language=en-US|access-date=4 January 2019}}</ref> Drawing his inspiration firstly from the simplicity of Japanese cuisine, he led the way in creating a more delicate style respectful of natural food ingredients.<ref name=":2">{{Cite news|url=https://www.askmen.com/fine_living/wine_dine_archive_300/333_interview-chef-joel-robuchon.html|title=AM Food Interview: <br />Chef Joel Robuchon|last=Jezer-Morton|first=Kathryn|work=AskMen|access-date=30 October 2018|language=en}}</ref>

Joël Robuchon (French pronunciation: [ʒɔɛl ʁɔbyʃɔ̃], 7 April 1945 – 6 August 2018) was a French chef and restaurateur. He was named "Chef of the Century" by the guide Gault Millau in 1989,[1] and awarded the Meilleur Ouvrier de France (France's best worker) in cuisine in 1976. He published several cookbooks, two of which have been translated into English, chaired the committee for the Larousse Gastronomique, and hosted culinary television shows in France.[2][3] He operated more than a dozen restaurants across Bangkok, Bordeaux, Hong Kong, Las Vegas, London, Macau, Madrid, Monaco, Montreal, Paris, Shanghai, Singapore, Taipei, Tokyo, and New York City. His restaurants have been acclaimed, and in 2016 he held 31 Michelin Guide stars among them, the most any restaurateur has ever held.[4][5] He is considered to be one of the greatest chefs of all time.[6][7][8]

Biography

Robuchon was born in 1945 in Poitiers, France, one of four children of a bricklayer.[9] He attended the seminary in Châtillon-sur-Sèvre (now Mauléon), Deux-Sèvres,[10] briefly considering a clerical career. In 1960, at the age of 15, he became an apprentice chef at the Relais de Poitiers hotel, starting as a pastry chef.[10]

After he turned 21, he joined the apprenticeship "Compagnon du Tour de France", enabling him to travel throughout the country, learning a variety of regional techniques.[10] At the age of 29, Robuchon was appointed head chef at the Hôtel Concorde La Fayette, where he managed 90 cooks.[9] In 1976 he won the Meilleur Ouvrier de France for his craftsmanship in culinary arts.[10] While working as an Executive Chef and Food and Beverage manager of the Nikko hotel in Paris he gained two Michelin stars.

In 1981 he opened his own restaurant, Jamin, which holds the rare distinction of receiving three Michelin stars in the first three years of existence.[9] In 1984, Jamin was named "Best Restaurant in the World" by International Herald Tribune.[4] Between 1987 and 1990, he became a regular of cooking shows on French television.

In 1989, prestigious restaurant guide Gault Millau named Robuchon the "Chef of the Century". He mentored many famous chefs, including Gordon Ramsay,[11] Eric Ripert,[12] and Michael Caines.[13]

In 1995, seeing many of his peers die of stress and heart attacks, Robuchon retired at the age of 50. He subsequently staged a comeback, opening several restaurants bearing his name around the world. He hosted Cuisinez comme un grand chef on TF1 from 1996 to 1999; in 2000, he hosted Bon appétit bien sûr on France 3. Through his various restaurants, including the newly awarded 3-star rating for his restaurant in Singapore, he accumulated a total of 32 Michelin Guide stars – the most of any chef in the world.[4]

In June 2018, Resorts World Singapore stated that both the three-Michelin-starred Joel Robuchon Restaurant and the two-starred L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon would close at the end of the month.[14]

Robuchon was a Freemason of the Grande Loge Nationale Française, but he said it did not affect his career.[15]

Robuchon died from cancer on 6 August 2018, a year after receiving treatment for a pancreatic tumour.[16] He was 73.

Personal life

Robuchon and his wife Jeanine, whom he married in 1966, had two children, son Eric Robuchon, a pedicurist and podiatrist based in Paris, and daughter Sophie Kartheiser, who manages a restaurant named La Cour d'Eymet in Dordogne with her husband, chef François Kartheiser. He also has a son Louis Robuchon-Abe (born 1988) with a Japanese woman. Louis is a wine import company's owner in Japan. Robuchon was survived by his wife, his three children and four grandchildren.[17]

Legacy

Robuchon has been the most influential French chef of the post-nouvelle cuisine era. Since the mid-1980s, he has been called the primus inter pares of Paris' three star chefs for his work both at Jamin and at his eponymous restaurant.[18]

Robuchon has been known for the relentless perfectionism of his cuisine; he said there is no such thing as the perfect meal – one can always do better. He was instrumental in leading French cuisine forward from the excessive reductionism of nouvelle cuisine toward a post-modern amalgam of the nouvelle, international influences – especially Japanese cuisine – and even select traditions of haute cuisine. In particular, his style of cooking was often seen as of celebrating the intrinsic qualities of the best, seasonal ingredients (dubbed "cuisine actuelle" by Patricia Wells in her book, Simply French).[19] Drawing his inspiration firstly from the simplicity of Japanese cuisine, he led the way in creating a more delicate style respectful of natural food ingredients.[20]
