The origins of Whole World Cuisine…
Chef Patrice Gerard was born in Paris, France, educated in Switzerland and spent his early years with his grandparents on the small family farm in the Burgundy region of France.“ I think my relationship with food began in my grandmother’s kitchen. In those days all the food that reached the table I saw grown in her garden or raised on our farm or neighboring farms. "My happiest times revolved around preparing and eating good meals together.”
In the early seventies, Patrice came to the U.S. and began working in restaurants while still in high school. He worked his way upward in the kitchen and across the country in restaurants from Los Angeles and San Diego to Las Vegas and Miami — a melting pot of ethnic cuisines.
In his quest to turn cooking jobs into more of a creative culinary expression of his passion for fine cooking, Patrice returned to Paris, France in the nineties to study culinary arts in his hometown.
Returning with culinary arts degrees from the French government and the European Community as well as experience at the esteemed Hotel Intercontinental in Paris, Patrice began his career as an accredited chef. Over the past years, he has developed his style of cuisine encompassing a wealth of experience with varied cultures in combination with the classic French bases to create his “Whole World Cuisine.” Chef Patrice has garnered many accolades and recognition from food writers and food publications as he shares his love of cooking with friends and patrons.
