BEN CANAIDER (INTERSTATE)Canaider, Ben
BEN CANAIDER is a well-known wine writer, or as he likes to put it, a typist who drinks. His latest book is Cuisine du Moi, which tells the story of Gavin Canardeaux, one of the world's most popular and inspirational power-chefs. His New York restaurant, Cuisine du Moi, sets standards in cuisine couture previously thought impossible. It has quickly become the destination dining venue of both the USA and Europe - and Russia. Friendly and passionate, Gavin Canardeaux is helping global-fusion food find a new and authentically traditional voice. Canardeaux is Australian-born, English-educated, French-trained, Thai-massaged and American-based.
