Simply put, D’Artagnan is a company dedicated to putting the finest foie gras, meat, game, truffles, and mushrooms on the tables of American gastronomes whether at home or in restaurants.   

Ariane Daguin was born into a world of great food.

The creation of D’Artagnan coincided with a growing sophistication in American cuisine. According to Danny Meyer (owner of Union Square Café, Gramercy Tavern and other top New York restaurants), “Everyone in the food world knows how influential D’Artagnan has been in almost single-handedly bringing great game and foie gras to chefs in America.”

In addition to running D’Artagnan, developing new products and researching innovative and ecologically responsible methods of production, Ariane is the founding president of Les Nouvelles Mères Cuisinières, an international association of prestigious women chefs. She is active in Les Dames d’Escoffier, The American Institute of Wine & Food, Women Chefs and Restaurateurs, La Chaîne des Rôtisseurs. In 2005, Ariane received the “Lifetime Achievement Award” from Bon Appetit Magazine, an award previously bestowed on such culinary notables as Julia Child and James Beard. More recently she was honored to receive the prestigious medal of the French Legion d’Honneur, an order established by Napoleon in 1802.

She lives (and cooks) in New York City.
