the chef
Luc Dendievel's cuisine has been
called "masterfully inspired and intricate,"
embodying a light but sophisticated
appreciation for flavor.
Born in Belgium, Luc actually began his
training as a chef at the tender age of 14!
Over the years, he learned from and blended
styles with some of the top chefs in Paris
and the United States, including the famous
Michel Richard.
Striking out on his own, Luc found success
as the chef of several well-known
restaurants in New York City. He won rave
reviews from The New York Times, Newsday,
and others and was awarded a Best of New
York award from New York Magazine. |

his approach
"To me, cooking is not, as most
people might thinkan art. It's just a
matter of good taste, put together in a
simple way. It is really hard to miss when a
recipe has good ingredients. I really
believe in that. If the ingredients aren't
good, there's no way.
"After working for so many years under
well-renowned chefs, you can create your own
identity when it comes to cuisine. The rest
is just a matter of how to get the best
ingredients.
"People think the chef creates everything,
but you take ideas from everywhere. You have
people working for you who bring something
as well. This is what makes a good chef.
There are so many factors that we can use to
advantage."
