Young star chef Jean Imbert won season 3 of M6's reality TV cookery show, Top Chef, in 2012. Trained at the Institut Bocuse in Lyon, he opened his first restaurant, "L’Acajou" in Paris in 2004, which was frequented by numerous celebrities. Since 2017 he has presented the TV show "Qui sera le prochain grand chef pâtissier?" (Who will be the next great patisserie chef?) on France 2. Following his "Les Bols de Jean" chain of restaurants in Paris, he is preparing to open a new restaurant in New York named "Encore."
Jean Imbert emphasizes that smells take time. The star chef would like more than anything to capture the smells of his native Brittany - sea air, grilled fish and coastal pines - in a bottle. He happily reveals his Parisian paradise, which takes the shape of an urban vegetable garden that he loves more than anything else, right in the middle of the 16th arrondissement. His memories are linked to the kitchen noises that have been with him since childhood, and to the warm, convivial atmospheres that he likes to precision-craft with his brilliant cuisine of course, and also with scented candles.
