Over the course of his career, the legendary late chef Joël Robuchon's restaurants earned more Michelin stars than any other chef's in the world. He left behind a legacy of excellent restaurants, as well as countless gorgeous recipes, such as Frothy Lettuce Soup with Onion Custard, Sautéed Bass with Lemongrass, and more. Deemed the "chef of the century" in 1989, Robuchon's ethos of simplicity makes these French-informed recipes classics that we return to again and again.

A spiced broth adds layers of flavor in this tagine recipe from Robuchon. Artichoke hearts bring a lovely spring element to the dish — for a simple shortcut, you can use frozen artichoke hearts.

Steaming the eggplant first is the key to this dish's soft texture. Tomato, cumin, sweet paprika, and garlic provide layers of deep flavor while white wine vinegar and lemon zest wake everything up. Additions of chopped cilantro and parsley are the finishing touch.

After tasting a Vietnamese recipe for shrimp coated with soft vermicelli, Robuchon created this recipe using kataifi dough, a Middle Eastern pastry that resembles shredded phyllo for a crisp, crunchy coating. Jasmine tea and orange juice are the base for the accompanying orange-rosemary dipping sauce.

Frothy Lettuce Soup with Onion Custard

This stunning recipe calls for one head of Boston lettuce per person, resulting in a soup with pure, intense flavors that is then poured over a delicate custard. It's a riff on petits pois à la française, the classic French dish of peas, lettuce, and spring onions braised in butter and chicken stock.
