(AP Photo)PARIS: Paul Bocuse, the master chef who defined French cuisine for nearly half a century and put it on tables around the world, has died at 91. "Paul Bocuse is dead. He took the cook out of the kitchen," said celebrity French chef Alain Ducasse, speaking at a January 2013 gathering to honour Bocuse. While excelling in the business of cooking, Bocuse never flagged in his devotion to his first love, creating a top class, quintessentially French meal.
