Medici Residency
Cooking practices
A native of Bordeaux, Martin Planchaud began his career in the kitchen working with former Michelin-starred chefs in various Bordeaux restaurants. Keen to broaden his experience and learn new ways of cooking from inspiring chefs, he travelled to Canada and then Paris. His passion for tradition and experimentation led him on a quest for movement. Along the way, he came across the Domaine de Boisbuchet design residence, and subsequently decided to dedicate himself to places combining cuisine, art and design. He likes to think of the kitchen as a playground and meeting place for designers. He has made several collaborations with culinary designers. After several inspiring trips lasting several months, during which he had to adapt to different cultures, notably in Mexico, India and Italy, he went to New York to try out several positions as a senior chef. He continued this experience in the restaurant business in the Basque country. The Domaine de Boisbuchet will remain an annual event that allows him to inject new energy, expand his network and consolidate his collaborations.
Although based in Biarritz, he nonetheless chooses to remain on the move in order to continue discovering new ways of conceiving his medium. This allows him to remain committed to the quality of his choice of products, and to adapt to seasonal variations in a consistent manner. Martin Planchaud sees himself as a culinary craftsman who places at the center of his cooking an attachment to the taste and visual aspect of the dishes he proposes.
The culinary residency was conceived thanks to the skills of Laura Vidal and with the support of The Small Group, which includes : Paris Popup, La Mercerie Marseille, Chardon, Livingston Marseille, Harry Cummins and Julia Mitton.
