The
veggie revolution has happened and it's come from the mind of Joël Robuchon at
his MGM Grand eatery Joël Robuchon Restaurant in Las Vegas
Chef Joel
Robuchon was inspired to create his first 16 course Vegetarian Tasting Menu not
only because his philosophy has always been to feature the freshest seasonal
produce, but also because he is aware of the importance of a well balanced diet
laden with vegetables (‘cause Veggies Rule!).
Through his
globe trotting travels, Robuchon has seen vegetarian cuisine as an emerging
trend worldwide and has been working to offer more vegetarian based items. With so many wonderful dishes to devise
from these hearty green ingredients there is no need to be limited to a simple
salad!
“Vegetarian
cuisine is slightly cutting edge,” noted Robuchon. “Finding ways to produce simple but great tasting dishes
that awaken the palate and make this type of dining experience just as
invigorating and adventurous as a meat-based diet is not only fun, but
important.”
And with dishes such as La Symphonie aux Saveurs de
Printemps (a bouquet of cauliflower cooked slowly
with curry and lemongrass emulsion, mushroom ravioli, potato puree topped
with Blue Mountain coffee) and L’Aubergine (Eggplant puree with cumin and a
lemon confit), I’ll have no problem being drafted !
Trés Yummm!!!
