France, 1789, just before the Revolution. With the help of an impoverished duchess, a chef who has been sacked by his noble master finds the strength to free himself from his position as a servant and opens the first ever restaurant. This fiction is based on the true historical context for the advent of restaurants in France after the fall of the class system… Exquisitely photographed by cinematographer Jean-Marie Dreujou creating stunning pictures of food in a lush landscape. Delicious is a recipe for sumptuous cinematic delights.
