EXKi's friends

Frank Fol

Frank Fol, the Vegetable Chef, is constantly innovating with our varied, original, healthy, balanced and delicious recipes.

His famous "Légumaise" is a magical ingredient, which has the creaminess of mayonnaise but contains four times less oil and 80% vegetables!

The career of this star-studded Chef, particularly at La Villa Lorraine, L'Ecailler du Palais Royal and Le Sire Pynnock, is impressive and cosmopolitan. He has travelled the world organising parties and events.

Frank is also the author of many cookery books on sale in our restaurants.
