organically-grown, seasonal ingredients prepared with flair, innovation and
imagination. Madeleine Bistro’s menus feature a diverse selection of artfully
presented pan-ethnic dishes with a decidedly French influence. Although the
techniques are French, inspiration for the dishes is culled from the world’s rich
bounty of ethnic cuisines, as well as playful takes on American comfort food
favorites (dishes such as Chicken-Fried Seitan and Bananas Foster Split spring
to mind). The final piece of the puzzle is Southern California's incredible
abundance of top notch organic farmers, whose product allows Chef Anderson
to realize his dream of allowing the menu "to be dictated by the whim of the
seasons."
Chef Anderson is an innovator with an intense passion for cruelty-free,
environmentally friendly living. Motivated by his passion and achieved through
his persistence for excellence, he has developed techniques to create dairy and
egg-free equivalents of butter, whipped cream, meringue, eggs, cheese and
more. Combining these innovations with a fresh approach to vegetable-driven
cuisine, Chef Anderson stands at the forefront of cutting edge vegetarian
cuisine.
"A tendency towards perfectionism has allowed Chef Anderson the
wherewithal to make the impossible possible. His dessert menu alone—
featuring an ever changing list of vegan holy grails like crème brulée,
flourless chocolate cake and the aforementioned meringue—is the
culmination of serious study."
