joethefoodie Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Talk about a life well lived... Even in France, eyebrows lifted a little when Mr. Bocuse revealed that for more than 30 years he had enjoyed the company of not only of his wife, Raymonde, the mother of his daughter, Françoise Bernachon, but also of two mistresses, one of them the mother of his son, Jérôme. His wife survives him, as do his two children. “It would not be everyone’s idea of married life, but everyone gets on,” he told The Daily Telegraph of London at the time. “They are all happy, with me and each other, and if I add up the time we have spent together as couples, it comes to 145 years.” Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rail Paul Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 And, he found time to cook? (Maybe he went to work to get away...) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Orik Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I didn't realize how old he was - a couple of years ago we were sitting beside him in Les Halles while he went through four or five espressos. Not much sleep I guess. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peter Creasey Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 He did a large dinner for us back in the '70s. Very memorable for its excellence in every respect, including his commentary. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mongo_jones Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 this is not a good sentence:"Born into a family of cooks since 1765, Mr Bocuse started in the kitchen at 14 and was renowned for his epicurean appetite for fine wine, food and women." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 There is so much wrong with it. Who is responsible? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Orik Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I would say primarily the 18th century. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I am positively fascinated to know what filled the famille Bocuse coffers before that watershed year, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

prasantrin Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 The wonderful send off was all those chefs in their whites. I never read the article (i'm very visual and only like pictures ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
