Roger Vergé (1930–2015) was a seminal figure in twentieth-century French gastronomy, renowned for pioneering cuisine du soleil, a style that emphasized freshness, lightness, and the vibrant flavors of Provence. As chef and proprietor of the celebrated restaurant Moulin de Mougins, he helped redefine haute cuisine by moving away from the heavy, elaborate preparations of classical French cooking toward dishes rooted in seasonality and regional authenticity. 'Les Recettes Originales de Roger Vergé: Ma Cuisine du Soleil', is part of the series 'Les Recettes Originales de...' and directed by noted French gastronomic critic Claude Lebey. The volume presents Vergé’s distinctive approach to cuisine du soleil—a lighter, more natural style of French cooking that emphasizes freshness, balance, and aesthetic harmony. Through precise yet accessible recipes, Vergé reinterprets Mediterranean traditions with refined technique, bridging regional authenticity and haute cuisine.
