Before his death, Point trained a generation of chefs who would take his ideas to new heights: Paul Bocuse, Jean and Pierre Troisgros, Alain Chapel, Francois Bise, Louis Outhier, and Michel Guérard and Roger Vergé became the pioneers of the expansion of Nouvelle Cuisine into the 1970s. World-famous chef Charlie Trotter described Point's Ma Gastronomie as the most important cookbook.
