Abstract
Based on the case of vegetables in haute cuisine and chef Passard as an institutional entrepreneur, we analyze how a practice emerges and spreads in an international field. We show that the emergence and spread of a practice is profoundly conditioned by the person who created it and the position he/she takes in the field. We also suggest that the spread of a practice at the national and international levels present important similarities. The dominant role of interpersonal networks and media in practice spread is especially comparable.
