Frank Fol in “Anonymously at the table” book of ex-head Michelin inspector Werner Loens
"Frank Fol, the world's leading vegetable ambassador, had been working for years to give vegetables the attention they deserve. For us, Michelin inspectors, this was new. We had been trained in the traditional way and had not heard much about pure plant cuisine. At first, we were sceptical. This is going to be fun, we thought, if we only get vegetables on our plates when there is also a nice pigeon or a piece of tarbot on the menu."
