Born in Landes, in Southwestern France, amid corn farms, Chef Julien Duboué is an enthusiastic advocate of the cereal. With an organic corn farmer, he brings back forgotten varieties and showcases them in his latest cook book « 100% maïs – Naturellement sans gluten » (« 100% corn – Naturally Gluten-Free » – Alain Ducassse publishing). Here is his slightly exotic recipe of curry and prawn polenta.
