Culinary Geometry

A cinematic exploration of taste and visual form.

The Artist

Claude Boulliette

Born in Lyon, France — the culinary capital of the world — Claude Boulliette spent his formative years in his grandmother's kitchen, where precision and emotion were never in conflict. After graduating top of his class from Institut Paul Bocuse, he refined his craft in the kitchens of three-Michelin-starred establishments across Paris, Tokyo, and New York before establishing Culinary Geometry in New London, Connecticut.

For Claude, every plate is a problem of form — how negative space, temperature, and texture create meaning. He doesn't cook to impress. He cooks to communicate.

Chef Claude Boulliette

I believe food is geometry. Every plate is architecture — a precise arrangement of form, tension, and silence that speaks before the first bite.

What They Said

“The most extraordinary private dining experience I have ever had. Each course arrived like a sentence in a language I didn’t know I spoke.”
— Helena Voss, New York
“Boulliette doesn’t cook food. He architects emotion. The Wagyu Tartare alone is worth the journey from Paris.”
— Le Monde Gastronomique, 2024
“A masterclass in restraint and precision. If Michelin came to New London, they would not leave empty-handed.”
— Food & Wine Magazine
“We hired Claude for our gallery opening and the food became the art. Our guests are still talking about it three months later.”
— Meridian Arts, Connecticut
