After which navigator is the plant "Bougainvillea" named %26amp;which chef is known as architec of French Cuisine?
The Bougainvillea plant is named after Louis Antoine de Bougainville, a French admiral, who discovered the plant in Brazil in 1768.





And the chef you are talking about is Marie Antoine (Antonin) Carême (June 8, 1784–January 12, 1833). This is what Wikipedia has to say about him... 'Carême gained fame in Paris by his pièces montées, elaborate constructions used as centerpieces, which Bailly displayed in the pâtisserie window. He made these confections, which were sometimes several feet high, entirely out of foodstuffs such as sugar, marzipan, and pastry. He modeled them on temples, pyramids, and ancient ruins, taking ideas from architectural history books that he studied at the nearby Bibliotéque Nationale. Utilizing his previous architectural knowledge coupled with culinary genius, some of his sugar works were so elaborate that court jesters would dance upon them while entertaining the king.'
Reply:The Bougainvillea plant is named for French explorer Admiral Louis de Bougainvillea.


Marie-Antoine Carême has been called the Architect of the French Cuisine
