The history of gastronomy, born in France, is the story of an intangible heritage - the most carnal undoubtedly, but also the most exported in the world. From Antiquity to the present day, this documentary offers a look back at the evolution of tableware, propriety, the birth of cafés and restaurants to the emergence of the first great chefs, or even the history of vegetables. Many questions will be raised: how did the fork slip into our hands? With which king did eating and drinking become political weapons?Les bouillons parisiens, une histoire de goût

Kings of Pastry
IMDB 6.9 | Nov , 2009
The collar awarded to the winners of the Meilleur Ouvrier de France (Best Craftsman in France) is more than the ultimate recognition for every pastry chef - it is a dream and an obsession. The 3-day competition includes everything from delicate chocolates to precarious six foot sugar sculptures and requires that the chefs have extraordinary skill, nerves of steel and luck. The film follows Jacquy Pfeiffer, founder of The French Pastry School in Chicago, as he returns to France to compete against 15 of France's leading pastry chefs. The filmmakers were given first time/exclusive access to this high-stakes drama of passion, sacrifice, disappointment and joy in the quest to have President Sarkozy declare them one of the best in France.Anthony Bourdain: A Cook's Tour- Europe

IMDB 7 | May , 2023
Affectionately known as claquos or calendos, Camembert is one of France's favorite cheeses. Almost 500 million Camemberts are sold in France every year. While this historic monument to French gastronomy retains its artisanal image, the reality is very different. From AOP to made-in-Normandy to 100% Norman milk, confusion reigns from market stalls to supermarket shelves. The "real" Camembert de Normandie, with its PDO label, accounts for less than 5% of sales. Investigate one of the jewels in the crown of French cheeseboards.Noma: My Perfect Storm
