When Jean Soulard talks about Antoine Nicolas's daily life...

In Jean Soulard's latest book, Chef, oui chef! , fiction flirts strangely with reality. Through this "feast of well-seasoned stories," it recounts, among other things, the rather unusual daily life of Antoine Nicolas, a diver, seaweed harvester, and owner of Un Océan de saveurs. “This collection brings together stories I've gleaned along my journey as a chef. Tales populated by unique characters, sometimes zany, often wholehearted, and always passionate. Inspired and inspiring people, who have all crossed my path. I share my memories with you, guided by poetry, pleasure, and all bound by gluttony and friendship. It's a journey through time, tinged with freedom and seasoned in my own way. An invitation to taste cuisine through humanity.” A delightful work, both instructive and poetic, which you can purchase via our online store . Excerpt from Chef, oui chef!, by Jean Soulard: "Freediving teaches you to empty your mind and allows you to better feel what is happening inside, the beating of your heart, the air in your lungs. More importantly, it makes you aware of your limits. It is at once a challenge, an art, and a source of fascinating emotions. When it becomes a way of working, this practice requires discipline, control, method, and concentration."
