Noix designed Saint-Jacques Jean-François Rouquette
"I want that my cooking is transparent, even if you discover an unexpected taste, the chef has told us during the presentation of the project. I Try to transmit an emotion and to reproduce the spontaneity of my discoveries."

I began to work with flowers a little more than ten years ago when nobody was interested in this matter. The flowers help me to decorate plates and dishes. By their forms and their varied colours, they bring a visual pleasure and perfume delicately raw to vegetables.
The flowers which are eatable floods are added as late as possible in the dish to protect their colours and their freshness.
Cooked them to be pairing ingredients to make salty, or sweet dishes (sweets, creams, sherbets, ices, mirrors, ice creams), desserts, frosts(jellies), biscuits, cake stores(pastries), cakes, breads, syrups, liqueurs, wines and perfumed vinegars, comfits, jams, frosts. Some are used as condiments. At that time, I looked for something to distinguish me and then I realized that at the end of the winter, everybody worked in France only the asparagus or the morel but not with the flowers. I thus turned to my producers, who did not have much to propose me, but it was enough to awaken my curiosity. I worked the hibiscus by creating, for example, a tomato tart with a red mullet and a syrup of hibiscus, mussels with nasturtiums, the tuna with the sage-pineapple...

The purpose was not just to make something attractive beautiful and with aromas of the flower and its flavours.

This work helped me to get the Michelin that awarded my star to the Guide Michelin. I am inspired by what I see in the other countries and the continents. I try to find cleverness's of the other continents to incorporate them into my cooking and I innovate with old sometimes thousand-year-old recipes receipts of the Chefs of Dubai, Bahrain, Seoul or Tokyo...
I also remember the Andes of Saint-Exupéry and Mermoz in South America, to Mendoza ( Argentina) where I met an enthusiast of grills who explained me his methods and where I discovered the "chimichurri". I had the impression to have discovered the moon!
I am native from Aveyron and my style comes from this county.  Park
