Alain Senderens was born in Hyères, France on December 2, 1939. After earning a secondary school diploma in Labatut-Rivière, he apprenticed in the kitchens of the Ambassador Hotel in Lourdes and then made his way to Paris. He became one of the founding fathers of nouvelle cuisine and made L¿Archestrate and Lucas Carton in Paris two of the world¿s most celebrated restaurants. In 1985, he introduced menus that suggested wines by the glass to accompany each dish, an innovation that soon became standard at restaurants around the world. He wrote several books including The Three-Star Recipes of Alain Senderens written with his wife, Eventhia, The Table Beckons: Thoughts and Recipes from the Kitchen of Alain Senderens, and Alain Senderens and Jérôme Banctel in Your Kitchen written with his wife and Banctel. He died on June 25, 2017 at the age of 77.
