Good & Good
Every week, a chef gives you tips on how to create a new recipe that will delight your taste buds… and your eyes.
Chef Julien Sebbag makes no secret: ” I never went to culinary school”. She also mentioned her cookbook ” Self-Education », I just showed up in Flamarion. When others reveal the CV they published Ferrandi, a cooking school in Paris that many chefs have gone through, the thirty-year-old likes to say an amazing journey. After going to study business in London, he discovered the great diversity of the culinary scene there especially Ottolenghi, an Israeli chef who is delighting a new generation of foodistas by cooking vegetables like no one else, in a way that is at the same time raw, gourmet and minimal. After two years at Miznon in Tel Aviv, he started his restaurant business “Je cuisine chez Oït”. Through the magic of social media, demand is exploding. The group of festive restaurants “Moma Gulu” saw him and offered to establish a gastronomic concept. It will be “Chez Oïm”, a permanent table inside Pigalle’s fictional club, Bus Palladium. Then “Créatures” in 2019, on the roof of the Galeries Lafayette completely vegan. And finally “Tortuga” the following year, a fish restaurant. The epidemic that is affecting the restaurant industry will not stop. They create “Micho” (located on rue de la Michodière), a street restaurant, in the empty kitchens of La Fontaine Gaillon. For food, a variety of delicious sandwiches made with super soft halla bread (woven Shabbat bread) from the Babka Zana bakery. In 2021, the prison was removed, he opened “Forest”, a restaurant with large tables and beautiful dishes, in the tower of the Museum of Modern Art. Finally, we have just learned about the opening of November 22, still with the Moma Group, of the new “Micho”, rue de Richelieu in Paris, the offshoot of his concept of sandwiches that go far, available this time in restaurants.
