Francis Cardailhac stems from a family of innkeepers in Aveyron, close to Villefranche de Rouergue, and developed his love and passion for taste with the help of his mother who taught him the secret that cooking “with almost nothing but taste and love can make people very happy”. Certified from the Lycée Hôtelier de Toulouse, Cardailhac has 37 years of experience in several restaurants, was honoured with 3 Michelin stars for his work in three different restaurants, and now today, advises in cuisine and restaurant management, all the while cooking in his own residence (www.cardaillac.com)
