French cuisine is one of the richest and most celebrated fares in the world. But, where does its global success and reputation for variety come from?
With the help of twenty-some-odd foreign chefs who have fallen in love with our country and its excellent products, we discover the secrets to our land and the history of our cuisine in ten unique French regions.
Simply put, we follow chefs on farms, vineyards, and markets in their quest for a new and authentic product. We get to observe their groundbreaking ideas in cooking, resourcefulness, and personal touch. All of this highlighted when they revisit essential parts of our culinary history. These foreign chefs open up about their passions for our country, its cuisine, and its unique flavors. They speak on the uncompromising nature of French gastronomy, all while using creative ways to make these complex ideas accessible for chefs of all levels.
Finally, we see a tasting of their most successful dishes in the company of a culinary critic, their suppliers, or their guests.
