Cuisine and Permaculture in Normandy: The new chefs at Château la Chenevière
Francois Pelletey, the new Head Chef at Château la Chenevière’s bistronomy restaurant Le Petit Jardin has recently replaced Hugo Genty, who was himself appointed Head Chef of fine-dining restaurant Le Botaniste. The latter will be working together with Chef Director, Didier Robin.
New Head Chef at Le Petit Jardin François Pelletey is a young Norman who has trained in numerous establishments both in France and in Canada (Montreal) and who was recently Pastry Chef working with Head Chef Mi-Ra Thuillant at L’essentiel (1 Michelin star) in Deauville. His wish is to follow in Hugo’s footsteps by making sure his dishes are simple, delicious and seasonal – using vegetables from the hotel’s very own permaculture garden.
