Life and Death in Haute Cuisine

June 11, 2005By Mike Hohnen

A new book, “The Perfectionist: Life and Death in Haute Cuisine,” released in the United States last month, Rudolph Chelminski, a journalist friend of Loiseau’s, outlines the tragic story that may be increasingly relevant to Americans watching their own chefs ascend the ladder of celebrity.What the book does not cover is the reaction to Loiseau’s suicide among the French culinary elite. Some of the country’s most revered chefs have recently condemned the system that many believe led to Loiseau’s death — the critics and the obsessive cultivation of Michelin’s top ranking. Three chefs have renounced the Michelin rating system this year, giving up their stars or asking not to be rated.
