"I take this opportunity to cook small dishes for my family"
Philippe Etchebest also related his daily life during confinement, which he used to "do a lot of things" which he usually "did not have time to do". "I'm at the farm, so we have animals to exploit, we have to take care of them. From the moment we knew that the restaurant was going to close, we had to do something. We left Bordeaux to go there where we come on weekends (his restaurant is in Bordeaux, editor's note ) ", he explains.
"I can do a lot of things that I don't usually have the time to do, like cooking little dishes for them," confesses the star chef. "This morning I made a quiche with leftovers, a piece of Comté and a base of crème fraîche. Since I have chickens I had eggs, and I could make a dough. It was really with what was left in the fridge.

"You must not undergo the event"
Philippe Etchebest also gave his advice to occupy its containment. "The days go by quickly enough because we structure them to avoid a routine. We also set rules, there are a lot of things to do. We get up at 7:30 am every morning, there are a lot of things to settle , emails etc ... I also play the drums, I take advantage of it to progress. I also play sports, three times an hour per week ", details the juror of Top Chef.
"I advise people, even in small apartments, to do things that you do not have time to do in normal times. Above all, you must not give up or suffer the event. It is in my temperament of not letting me down, so I can find things to do all day. "
