Wedding bells: Daniel Boulud, 58, is set to marry his girlfriend Katherine Gage, 30 later this month
Daniel Boulud, the French chef famous for his namesake Michelin three-star restaurant in New York, is set to marry his much younger girlfriend later this month.
The 58-year-old will tie the knot with Katherine Gage, 30, at Glenmere Mansion, part of the luxury hotel, Relais & Chateaux, in upstate New York, according to the New York Post.
Rooms at the Glenmere Mansion start at $550, with the most expensive suite priced at $3,500 per night. Meals at the hotel's restaurant, The Supper Room, start at $85 - but there is no word yet on who will be catering the extravagant affair.
Mr Boulud and his wife of 23 years divorced three years ago, and he has being seeing Miss Gage since, he recently told the Globe and Mail.
'We didn’t want to be so passive about each other,' the chef, who has a mini-empire of 14 restaurants around the world and a staff of 1,300, explained of his ex-wife, Michelle 'Micky' Palmer Boulud.
Instead, he said that Miss Gage, who worked for him for five years and now runs a food website called Miel Et Lavande, 'keeps me young.'
According to her website, Miss Gage enrolled in culinary school in Florida, and began working at Café Boulud Palm Beach during her studies 'to learn the fundamentals of a French fine dining kitchen.'
A year and a half later, she moved back to New York to work in the catering division of Restaurant Daniel, before 'moving upstairs to the 3-Michelin star gastronomic.'
Miss Gage's comprehensive website includes her own recipes, such as Almond Pavlova with Summer Berries, Chilled Zucchini Soup with Black Olive Crostini and Hangar Steak with Farro Risotto and Fava Beans; a food news section, and travel articles based on her own adventures with specific restaurant recommendations.
