Reviews
‘Chef David Marteau has travelled the continents and assimilated each ethnic flavor and fused them into this collection of his best recipes for the enjoyment of good-food lovers everywhere.’ - Tony Azarias, General Manager, Parkyard Hotels ‘Before I became a chef, I had the privilege of working as a sous-chef for David in one of the busiest restaurants in the province of Quebec. In this urban jungle, where the primary goal was to control food and labour costs, we also had to surpass ourselves in creativity. Where the competition was fierce and merciless, where many restaurants opened and closed within a year of business, only chefs with very special qualities survived, and David was one of those exceptional chefs.’ - Daouda Diongue, Executive Chef, Montreal, Canada
Author description
Award-winning executive chef David Marteau has been cooking and traveling around the world for over twenty years. David’s recipes aim to awaken the senses, turn the ordinary into the spectacular, and educate the palettes of his international clientele. Not satisfied with the traditional, well-known recipes of Western cuisine, he reshapes, reconstructs, and delivers on his promise of great food for the most astute food critic to the homegrown foodies looking to spice up their cooking. Born and raised in Normandy, France, he understands the meaning of delicious food. Chef David began his career as an apprentice and graduated from the CFA (Centre de Formation des Apprentis) in Le Mans. Always looking for adventure and a chance to create recipes from around the world, Chef David’s work has taken him to world-class cities such as Paris, Brussels, Montreal, and Shanghai. In 1999 David migrated to Montreal, Canada. Montreal served as the perfect backdrop for Chef David to experiment and perfect his recipes, while experiencing the rigors of being an executive chef serving a multicultural clientele. In 2004 he was rated one of the “Top 5” chefs in Canada in the Tabasco National Contest. In 2007 David and his family moved to Shanghai, China. Although strongly focused on his career as an executive chef at the Parkyard Hotel, he still manages to make appearances at regional cooking competitions and aims to mentor young Chinese chefs in the art of Western cooking.
