Michelin-starred chef Nicolas Isnard is co-own the restaurant &#8211;<strong> L\u2019Auberge de la Charme<\/strong>\u00a0earned a Michelin star in 2009, within a year of opening.\u00a0We\u00a0ask him about his career journey over the past few decades, his passions and many more.\u00a0Check out our 10 questions with<strong> Chef Nicolas<\/strong> below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you enjoy Thai food? What is your favorite Thai food?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes I do, my love for Thai food was instant since 8 years ago when I first visited Thailand. I particularly enjoy the spiciness and sourness of this cuisine. There are too many Thai dishes that I love but I must say \u201cPad Thai\u201d and \u201cTom Yum Goong\u201d are my top two favorites.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you think of The District Grill Room &amp; Bar?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is one of the best places for fine dining with a twist in Bangkok. The ambience is exclusive, the staffs here are friendly and the open kitchen is simply remarkable. I really enjoy working here with the team even though it\u2019s just for a few short days.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p><strong>What is your cooking philosophy?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Easy, \u201cNo product, No cuisine\u201d. Cooking to me is a life-long passion, I love knowing how to cook because if I have a craving for something, I can do something about it and I can make it the way I want.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you enjoy doing when you are not busy working?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I am an active person with a great passion for travel. When I don\u2019t travel, I enjoy spending time with my wife and children, listening to music and reading interesting books. All these activities influence me and inspire me to experiment new cuisines in my kitchen.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10105\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxurysocietyasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/District-Grill-room-and-Bar.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"656\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Who is your most influential chef and what did you learn from him\/her?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Gilles Goujon, a 3-star French Michelin chef who can create and transform almost anything to something great. The way he cooks his food and the flavors are simply impeccable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"column\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"column\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 2\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p><strong>Have you ever cooked for any VIPs?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Certainly, I have cooked for many celebrities and politicians in my career and some of them include the President of France, Jacques Chirac and French actor Christian Clavier.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your greatest achievement in life?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Happiness, it is the greatest achievement for me. I love my job, I love my family, I love to travel for work, I love eating all kinds of food and I am always smiling as you can see. Life is too beautiful for me.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the most difficult ingredient to work with?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It will be bitter orange jam as I am not a big fan of bitter tastes, except for Gin &amp; Tonic. Then again, I would put a lot of lemon juice in Gin &amp; Tonic as I love the sour and acidic flavor. That probably explains the reason why I love Thai food.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What will be the best words to describe your cooking?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Happy and flavorsome. I always believe the theory of \u201cWhat you cook is who you are\u201d and I love cooking \u201cHappy Food\u201d for my guests.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your best advice for people who aspire to be a successful chef?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You have to love your food, be patient, curious, open-minded and adventurous; these are all the essential makings to be a successful chef.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We caught up wit&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10104,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[193],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Chef Talk - Chef Nicolas Isnard: Michelin Starred Restaurant - L\u2019Auberge de la Charme - Luxury Society Asia, Thailand&#039;s Best Luxury Lifestyle Business Community Website\/Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.luxurysocietyasia.com\/chef-talk-french-michelin-starred-chef-nicolas-isnard\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"th_TH\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Chef Talk - Chef Nicolas Isnard: Michelin Starred Restaurant - L\u2019Auberge de la Charme - Luxury Society Asia, Thailand&#039;s Best Luxury Lifestyle Business Community Website\/Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"We caught up wit...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.luxurysocietyasia.com\/chef-talk-french-michelin-starred-chef-nicolas-isnard\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Luxury Society Asia, Thailand&#039;s Best Luxury Lifestyle Business Community Website\/Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-04-10T07:42:43+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2017-06-22T01:38:29+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.luxurysocietyasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chef-Nicolas-@-District-1200x800.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"800\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 \u0e19\u0e32\u0e17\u0e35\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.luxurysocietyasia.com\/chef-talk-french-michelin-starred-chef-nicolas-isnard\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.luxurysocietyasia.com\/chef-talk-french-michelin-starred-chef-nicolas-isnard\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"\",\"@id\":\"\"},\"headline\":\"Chef Talk &#8211;
