Already busy with the shoots of the shows Top chef, Top Chef Objective and Kitchen nightmare for M6, not to mention his restaurants to manage, the famous chef has found the time to write a book called Cook well with my Mentor method, released by Albin Michel editions on October 13, 2021.

When referring to one of her idols, Paul McCartney, the 54-year-old star recalled a touching scene from the adoption of his son Oscar-Louis in 2005 in Mexico. “I adopted my son in Mexico and when I got into the dormitory where the babies were, just when I was about to discover my son, they were passing The Long and Winding Road [tube des Beatles, ndlr] in philharmonic“, he detailed. And to confide still moved:”It was sublime, I had chills, it was a really amazing time.

It is with his wife Dominique that Philippe Etchebest welcomed his son sixteen years ago, not without difficulty. A son who makes him happy despite not always seeing him as he would like. “My son, I see him a little less because he is in boarding school. I make time on the weekends to be with him. We share rugby as a common passion, we go to matches together“, he declared during an interview for Leisure TV in the month of September.
