Les Copains de Dominique Bouchet invites you to an extraordinary dining experience with its Art Brut Course on the evening of November 20, 2025. This event is part of the ongoing initiative that began in 2018 to celebrate Art Brut, a movement that showcases the artistic talents of individuals with disabilities. The philosophy behind Art Brut is deeply resonant in French culture, where it is widely supported as a way to promote diverse values through art. Chef Dominique, inspired by this concept, has collaborated with the Cross Team to create a special culinary experience that merges art and gastronomy.
The Art Brut Course is not just a meal; it is a celebration of creativity and inclusivity. The menu features six exquisite dishes, crafted from artworks created by challenged designers. These pieces are transformed into culinary designs by professional chefs, bringing a unique visual and gastronomic element to the table. The event also incorporates vegetables grown at the 'Dream Shape Farm,' infusing the dishes with fresh, organic ingredients that exemplify the harmony between nature and human creativity.

Message from Chef Dominique Bouchet
In his own words, "It's been a while since I have felt this much excitement in my culinary journey. The hearts of children with autism are incredibly pure, and their artistic creations hold endless possibilities. However, their existence often goes unnoticed. After engaging with them and their parents, I've learned about their immediate needs. Understanding autism and watching over them with kindness can be the key to their peace.
I felt compelled to bring forth the art that spills from their minds and hearts onto the plate. By sharing these recipes, I hope to give everyone a chance to experience the beauty of their art and foster a connection to these incredible individuals. My desire is for people to view them not as different, but as valued members of our society. The wish is humble yet profound, and I hope to stand by it, if even in a small way."
