Alain Coumont recipes from Languedoc, France
You ought to leave a great restaurant feeling healthier than when you came in. If you spend $300 to eat too much cholesterol and food that’s bad for you, that is all wrong,’ says Alain Coumont, the founder of Le Pain Quotidien, a chain of organic cafes that serve everything from organic tea and wine to their signature tartines (open sandwiches). 'My feeling is that all the exotic ingredients have been discovered and molecular cuisine is over. The next thing is vegetables and simplicity and organic food,’ Coumont says.
His 'slow fast-food’, as he calls it, has proved so popular that there are now 18 Le Pain Quotidien cafes in London and 150 in 18 countries around the world, with new countries added annually (Brazil is next). The company has a current turnover of more than €170 million. Visitors to Le Pain Quotidien eat around a long communal table or little individual pine tables in an egg-yellow Provençal-style setting, surrounded by pine dressers and low-hanging metal lamps. It is a look that Coumont loves so much that he has adopted it for his own dining-room in France, where he has the exact same 110cm-wide communal table and dressers. 'It’s the perfect width for conversations,’ he says, then adds with a bemused look, 'but my wife thinks it is a little too similar to what I have in the cafes.’
Coumont founded Le Pain Quotidien in his native Belgium in 1990 as a small artisan bakery selling three types of bread and a few cakes and sandwiches. The company got off to a shaky start when his first premises collapsed before he had even opened. 'I was bankrupt before I had sold my first loaf,’ he jokes. But he raised more finances and within the first year added three new locations. The first US Le Pain Quotidien opened in Manhattan in 1997, and Coumont expanded into London in 2005. 'The Marylebone High Street cafe was packed from day one,’ Coumont says. 'On the opening day, one guy brought in his girlfriend blindfolded. They used to live in New York, and when she saw the place she became hysterical.
