Grimod-Brillat
International Gastronomy Conference

Become an accomplished gastronomer

Grimod, Brillat & Nous

Alexandre Balthazar Grimod de La Reynière and Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin are the two founders of gastronomy.

There is fine cuisine, then there is gastronomy. A gourmet will always remain as such as long as the menu forgets the book.

Understanding gastronomy is understanding the scriptures of the foundational fathers, the relationship between both thinkers and how they changed the world through the "art of the table".
