Food and personalities pairing

Anne-Sophie Pic stands out as one of the iconic figures of haute cuisine, constantly pushing the boundaries of taste and emotion through her bold creations and intuitive approach. Her three-star restaurant, Pic, in Valence, France, was honoured with the Tripadvisor “Best Restaurants” award in 2024. She was also named the World’s Best Female Chef in 2011 by the San Pellegrino World’s 50 Best Restaurants Awards.

The story between the two talented women began with the will of Sophie Adenot to connect to terroir gastronomy and the astronaut quickly selected Anne-Sophie Pic based on her successes and humility. After a first meeting in Paris for a tasting, they both discovered many similarities in their way of thinking and overall personal and professional journeys. Thoroughness, collective thinking, dedication and passion — they both share the same values and vision.

“What a thrill to have been asked by Sophie Adenot to accompany her in her mission! Through our discussions and tastings, I discovered an exceptional woman, inspiring in many ways. Cooking for space is an exhilarating challenge — it’s a true honor to be part of this extraordinary adventure,” said Anne-Sophie Pic.

For Sophie Adenot: “This encounter was a stroke of fate. Nothing pre-destined us to meet and work together, and yet, we ended up collaborating on this collective adventure. Anne-Sophie is a brilliant professional and a truly inspiring figure and I am thrilled to have her onboard!”
