Michel Guerard, who passed away at 91, was a pivotal figure in the nouvelle cuisine movement, known for advocating lighter cooking that diverged from classical methods.
His 1976 book La Grande Cuisine Minceur sold over a million copies and introduced his innovative cooking style to a global audience, despite its dieting origins.
At Eugenie-les-Bains health spa, Guerard crafted dishes that promoted good health, while establishing a prestigious restaurant that fostered a thriving gastronomy community.
Guerard's works, including the later La Cuisine Gourmande, showcased his ability to combine imaginative flavors with elegant presentations, influencing generations of chefs and diners.
