Revisit Macarons with Molly Wilkinson What’s the difference between a macaron, macaroon, and Macron? Well, we are discussing this and so much more with our special guest today. Molly Wilkinson is a pastry chef trained at Le Cordon Bleu who left roles working in pastry shops in the USA to teach us pastry in her fabulous Versailles kitchen. That’s why I like to call Molly the princess of pastry. Today’s topic on Fabulously Delicious is one that Molly is pretty much an expert on. Molly told me when she was working in Patisseries she would be making thousands of macarons a day. Amazing! So we learn from Molly what is a macaron and what the difference between a macaron and a macaroon is. Also, what’s in the macaron as well as Ladurée one of her favorite places to get macarons in Paris. Then we chat about meringues as well and which is the best for macarons, Italian, French or Swiss. The place Molly mentioned that she worked in first in Paris was La Fabrique á Gateaux - https://www.instagram.com/lafabriqueagateaux Molly’s book is available on Amazon* via the link here. https://amzn.to/3KqzBHi Check out Molly via the below details.

Abbaye de Belloc - Cheeses of France Series Discover the unique story behind Abbaye de Belloc, a cherished semi-hard cheese from the French Pyrenees, crafted from the rare, rich milk of red-nosed Manech cows native to the Basque region. Regulated under France’s prestigious AOC (Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée) laws, Abbaye de Belloc is a part of the Ossau Iraty family of cheeses, renowned for its nutty, caramelized flavors and dense, creamy texture. Each wheel represents a centuries-old tradition and the dedication of the Benedictine monks who perfected this cheese. In this episode, we journey to the Abbaye Notre Dame de Belloc, near the picturesque village of La Bastide Clairence, a gem of Basque heritage. Learn how the monks’ devotion to labor and prayer inspired their cheesemaking methods, creating a cheese deeply tied to its place of origin. From WWII resilience to agricultural development in the 1960s, Abbaye de Belloc's production reflects a remarkable legacy preserved through local partnerships and modern support. Abbaye de Belloc’s production uniquely blends regional history with culinary artistry. After the monks turned cheesemaking over to a nearby creamery in the 1990s, Habitat et Humanisme, a French nonprofit, stepped in to ensure the abbey remained a hub for cheesemaking and community service. Today, young interns continue the work, crafting and aging each wheel under the abbey’s roof, honoring an ancient method while supporting affordable housing initiatives. Indulge in the flavors of Abbaye de Belloc as we explore its exquisite pairing options, from robust wines like Pinot Noir to earthy Shiraz, which enhance the cheese's caramelized richness and nutty character. Join us in celebrating the taste, tradition, and cultural legacy of Abbaye de Belloc—a true taste of Pays Basque’s heritage. Looking to deepen your culinary journey beyond the podcast?

In this episode of Fabulously Delicious, The French Food Podcast, we set the table for one of France’s most theatrical desserts: the Crêpe Suzette. A delicate pancake bathed in a luscious, citrusy, and buttery sauce, then flambéed with flair—this dessert is as much a visual performance as it is a culinary delight. But beyond the flame and flavor lies a mystery: who really invented it? Was it a young apprentice serving royalty, a Parisian actress with stage presence to spare, or a romantic royal rendezvous? Host Andrew Prior takes listeners on a journey through the tangled, tantalizing tales of Crêpe Suzette’s origin. From Henri Charpentier’s alleged kitchen mishap for the Prince of Wales, to the stage antics of actress Suzette Reichenberg and the culinary refinement of legendary chef Auguste Escoffier, this episode dives deep into competing claims, cultural context, and delightful drama. Even Larousse Gastronomique chimes in with its own skeptical take on the more romanticized versions. As always, Andrew spices up the storytelling with fascinating historical detail, a dash of wit, and plenty of gastronomic insight. Alongside the main origin stories, he shares how Crêpe Suzette evolved through time with creative variations across France—like the whisky-flambéed Micheline Crêpe from Bordeaux, or the fruity Laurette pancakes served with Bar-le-Duc jam. It's a delicious reminder that French cuisine is always reinventing itself while honoring tradition. Whether you’re a fan of flambé, a French food lover, or just here for the stories behind the classics, this episode is your perfect serving of dessert history with a side of showbiz. So, pour yourself a glass of something bubbly and enjoy the magic behind one of France’s most iconic sweets. Bon appétit! Looking to deepen your culinary journey beyond the podcast?

Aligot: The French Cheesy Potato Dish You Didn't Know You Needed! In this episode of Fabulously Delicious: The French Food Podcast, we’re diving into the irresistible world of Aligot, the stretchy, cheesy mashed potato dish that’s a staple in French cuisine. Aligot is made with creamy mashed potatoes blended with garlic, butter, cream, and the star ingredient—Tome fraiche de L'Aubrac. Known for its unique texture and elastic consistency, it’s affectionately called “the friendship ribbon” because of how it stretches when served. We also explore the rich history of Aligot, tracing its roots back to the Auvergne region. Originally a humble soup, it transformed over centuries into the indulgent dish we know today, with folklore attributing its creation to a trio of bishops or local monks. Aligot's evolution from a simple meal to a regional specialty reflects the ingenuity of French cuisine. Lastly, we share tips on making the perfect Aligot at home. With a focus on the best ingredients—like floury potatoes and fresh Tome cheese—this episode guides you through the essential steps to achieve that signature cheesy stretch. Whether you’re a fan of traditional recipes or looking to experiment with modern variations, this episode will inspire you to bring a taste of France to your own kitchen!

Albert Roux, born on October 8, 1935, in the picturesque village of Semur-en-Brionnais, France, was destined to become one of the most influential figures in modern gastronomy. Raised in a family of charcutiers, his passion for food developed early despite the challenges his family faced, including the loss of their business. After moving to Paris, Albert's godfather, a chef for the Duchess of Windsor, introduced him to haute cuisine, setting the stage for his legendary career. His culinary journey took him from Paris to the elite households of England, where he honed his craft and gained the skills that would later revolutionize British dining. In 1967, Albert Roux, alongside his brother Michel, opened Le Gavroche in London, a restaurant that would forever change the UK's culinary landscape. Le Gavroche became the first restaurant in the UK to earn a Michelin star in 1974, and by 1982, it had achieved three Michelin stars, a remarkable accomplishment. Throughout his career, Albert mentored some of the world’s most renowned chefs, including Gordon Ramsay and Marco Pierre White, earning a reputation as a visionary who could spot and nurture talent. His influence extended beyond fine dining as he ventured into charcuterie, catering, and even hotel management, solidifying his place as a culinary innovator. Albert’s legacy goes beyond his restaurants. In 1984, he co-founded the prestigious Roux Scholarship, a competition that continues to shape the careers of young chefs in the UK. Additionally, his work with the Clink association, which provides culinary training to prisoners, highlighted his commitment to using food as a force for good. Albert Roux’s contributions to the culinary world have left an indelible mark, making him a true pioneer in both French and British cuisine. His influence continues to inspire chefs and food lovers around the world. Looking to deepen your culinary journey beyond the podcast?

In today's episode of "Fabulously Delicious: The French Food Podcast," we continue our fascinating A to Z series on French herbs with a deep dive into the intriguing world of nettles, or "Les Orties" as they are known in French. Host Andrew Prior enlightens us with the botanical history of nettles, tracing back to 1753 when Carl Linnaeus classified them as Urtica dioica. Listeners will discover the etymology of "Urtica," derived from the Latin "uro," meaning to burn or sting, and "dioica," from the Greek word for two houses. This episode brims with fascinating facts, such as the discovery by botanist Charles Naudin that a strong wind can render nettle stings harmless. Exploring the historical and cultural significance of nettles, Andrew reveals their role in the nitrogen cycle and their surprising utility during wartime, such as the German army's use of nettle fibers for uniforms in World War I. Nettles have also been significant in various traditions and legends, from Julius Caesar’s troops using them for alertness to the Tibetan saint Milarepa’s green skin from prolonged use. We also learn about the practical applications of nettles in ancient textiles, paper production, and even cheese making in France, highlighting their versatility beyond their notorious sting. For culinary enthusiasts, the episode offers a delightful surprise: Andrew’s favorite recipe for nettle soup. He walks us through the process of transforming these wild plants into a delicious and nutritious meal. Nettles, rich in vitamins A, B, and C, along with essential minerals, are not just a historical or botanical curiosity but a contemporary superfood.

Dacquoise: Layers of History, Flavor, and French Elegance Today you should get ready to indulge in one of France’s most elegant desserts, the Dacquoise. In this episode of Fabulously Delicious The French Food Podcast, we uncover the rich history and culinary artistry behind this layered cake of almond and hazelnut meringue, whipped cream, and a buttery biscuit base. From its origins in the town of Dax in Southwest France to its evolution as a celebrated treat in French patisserie, the Dacquoise is a masterpiece that combines texture and flavor in every bite. We’ll journey back to the 17th century, where this dessert made its royal debut at the court of Louis XIII. Created by Clément Lassagne to honor a triumphant duke, the Dacquoise was originally adorned with chocolate ganache, crème Chantilly, and candied violets. But the story doesn’t stop there—over the years, this dessert has inspired numerous variations, including the Marjolaine by the famed chef Fernand Point and nutty creations like Dacquoise Pistache and Dacquoise au Praliné. In this episode, we’ll also dive into the technical aspects of making a Dacquoise, from perfecting the meringue layers to experimenting with fillings like coffee whipped cream and vanilla Bavaroise. Whether you’re a seasoned baker or a French pastry enthusiast, you’ll discover the secrets behind creating this timeless dessert. And along the way, we’ll clear up some common mix-ups, like the difference between a Dacquoise and the Italian Japonaise cake. So, grab a cup of coffee or a glass of Armagnac—another treasure from the region of Dax—and join us as we explore the delicate, layered world of the Dacquoise.

Discover how this cherished custom has evolved into a global phenomenon, with the French adding their signature touch of culinary elegance along the way. We’ll explore the origins of advent, the Latin meaning of the word, and how early traditions like candle lighting and biblical storytelling gave birth to the idea of counting down the days to Christmas with a daily surprise.

Advent in France is more than just calendars—it’s a time of regional celebrations and vibrant festivals. From the parades and fireworks of Saint Nicholas Day in the north to the breathtaking Fête des Lumières in Lyon and the dazzling lights of the Champs-Élysées in Paris, we’ll uncover how advent brings communities together across France.

In this episode of "Fabulously Delicious, the French Food Podcast," we delve into the world of escargot, a quintessential delicacy in French cuisine. Escargot, or snails, have been savored in France and beyond for centuries, transforming from common garden pests to gourmet treats. We explore the diversity of snail species, with biologist Benoit Fontaine noting over 700 varieties in France alone. These fascinating creatures, often farmed to ensure safety and quality, are cherished for their delicate flavor, especially when prepared with traditional French techniques and served with garlic butter or wine sauces. Our discussion highlights the cultural significance of escargot across the globe. From ancient Greece to the Roman Empire, and into modern culinary practices, snails have held a unique place in history. We trace the origins of the famous Escargots de Bourgogne to diplomat Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord and chef Marie-Antoine Carême, whose innovative presentation to Tsar Alexander in 1814 cemented the dish's status in haute cuisine. We also touch on the Middle Ages, where snails symbolized courage, and how Pope Pius V's decree allowed their consumption during Lent, underscoring their historical and religious importance. For those intrigued by the culinary and nutritional benefits of escargot, this episode offers insights into preparation methods, including the essential purging process that ensures snails are toxin-free. We explore the slow food movement's adoption of the snail as its emblem, representing ecological and sustainable eating practices. Additionally, we discuss the luxury of snail caviar, known as "Pearls of Aphrodite," and the health benefits of escargot, which are low in calories and rich in protein, magnesium, and iron. Join us for a tantalizing journey through the rich heritage and modern-day appreciation of this French delicacy, perfect for food enthusiasts and culinary adventurers alike.

Welcome to Fabulously Delicious, the French Food Podcast, where we explore the cuisine that laid the foundation for modern cooking. I'm your host, Andrew Prior, enchanté. After competing on MasterChef Australia, I now live in France, sharing my love for French food, meeting local chefs and food producers, and indulging in amazing wines and over 1500 varieties of French cheeses with you, my fabulously delicious audience. Today, we delve into the world of Mariage Frères, one of France's most prestigious tea brands. The company's history dates back to the 17th century when King Louis XIV encouraged exploration for exotic goods. Nicolas and Pierre Mariage's voyages for the royal court laid the groundwork for their family's involvement in the tea trade. In 1854, Henri and Edouard Mariage officially founded Mariage Frères, and for 130 years, the family maintained a wholesale tea business, introducing innovations like the tea-flavored Chocolat des Mandarins. In 1976, the company was sold to Kitti Cha Sangmanee, who opened the first retail tea house in 1983 on Rue du Bourg-Tibourg, Paris. Today, Mariage Frères operates ten tearooms in Paris and additional locations in the UK, Germany, and Japan. They offer over 650 blends of tea, some exclusive to their Parisian stores, and their original tea house includes a museum dedicated to the history of tea.

Fabulously Delicious, The French Food Podcast, is a delectable journey into the world of French cuisine. This episode is a special one as it is all about my new book, Paris, A Fabulous Food Guide to the World's Most Delicious City. You can get your copy of the guide via the link below. https://www.amazon.com/Paris-Fabulous-Guide-Worlds-Delicious/dp/B0CQKYJGQH/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3Q46KMBSRG64O&keywords=paris+a+fabulous+food+guide&qid=1703076191&sprefix=%2Caps%2C220&sr=8-1 Today is a very exciting day for me today and a special episode for you as I’ve got some fabulous news. I’ve released my first-ever book. Paris A Fabulous Food Guide to the World's Most delicious city is my food guide to Paris. This is a book years in the making and comes from my experiences in Paris from living there and eating through the city for you.  So what’s in the book, well it’s a food guide so of course there are recommendations for places to eat. In each place in the book I’ve eaten at, none have given a free meal or money to be in the book. They are all my recommendations based on the food I ate their, service, atmosphere, and above all their fabulousness because we all know that my motto is whatever you do, do it fabulously and they all certainly do.  There are 379 recommendations, 17 boulangeries, 28 cafes, 11 chocolate shops, 13 Fromageries, 15 markets or marches as they’re called in French, 17 patisseries, 172 restaurants, and 27 wine bars. But there are also food streets, gourmet and kitchen supply stores and so much more. Going to Paris can be daunting for some and they don't know where to stay. In the guide, I’ve devoted a whole section to this with information about certain areas and arrondissements to help you choose the right place to stay.  Throughout the guide there are also tips for you and one of those tips is about how to find good food in Paris. This is a city that gets tens of millions of visitors every year so feeding them is a mammoth feat and one that doesn’t always cater to foodies like us. Looking for good food is often best done by locals and so that’s where some of my core tips here are from. In fact, many recommendations in this book were given to me by local French and expats like myself but probably more from the French.  For three years after being on MasterChef Australia and before moving to France, I ran a walking tours business in Melbourne called Queenies Food Tours. We had five different walking tours and in those three years, I showed personally over 4,000 people some great food in Melbourne. So in this guide, I’ve got three walking tours for you, one food-focused tour and two area-focused, 7th Arrondissement and Montmartre area tours. I hope you enjoy doing them when in Paris. My Top Ten Restaurants in Paris are included in the guide and it was really hard to narrow these down to just ten restaurants. But I did it. One of them isn’t in Paris though, well sort of, one is in Versailles and is a place I found before they had a Michelin star and used to be in a smaller location. One of those places you just walk past and think I will try that for lunch, why not, walk in, ask for a table thinking they will say they are fully booked, sit down and think I'm not dressed right for this restaurant, and then having the most amazing meal, fantastic service and an experience I’ve been fortunate to bring many people back to over the last nearly ten years now. I hope you can go there and experience it as well.  At the end of the book is a listing of each recommendation in the book by arrondissement. This is something you never think of but perfect for you if you are in an arrondissement or area where you do not know what lunch, coffee, dinner, or even some cheese.  Non-foodie things and foodie things to do in Paris are included in the book, I couldn’t help but give you some extra tips from ones that have been in my YouTube series for you.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of "Fabulously Delicious, the French Food Podcast," we celebrate the life and legacy of Gaston Lenôtre, the legendary French pastry chef. Born on May 28, 1920, in the picturesque region of Normandy, Lenôtre's early years were steeped in the rich culinary traditions of France. Influenced by his mother's work as a pastry chef for French nobility and his father's role as a chef saucier at Paris's Grand Hotel, Lenôtre developed a passion for pastry that would define his illustrious career. After an apprenticeship in Bernay, where he mastered the art of millefeuilles and éclairs, Lenôtre's journey to culinary stardom began in earnest, eventually leading him to Paris where his exquisite creations won the hearts of high society. Gaston Lenôtre's innovative spirit and commitment to excellence transformed the world of pastry. His insistence on using the finest ingredients, particularly butter from Normandy's lush pastures, became his signature. Lenôtre's creations, such as the famous "Succès" and the elegant Opera cake, showcased his ability to elevate traditional recipes to new heights. His meticulous approach to pastry-making, likened to architecture in its precision, set new standards in the culinary arts. Lenôtre's influence extended beyond his delectable desserts; he opened a cooking school in Plaisir, Yvelines, in 1971, where renowned chefs like Pierre Hermé and Alain Ducasse honed their skills, perpetuating his legacy of culinary excellence. Lenôtre's impact on French cuisine was profound, with ventures that expanded his reach globally. From opening Maison Lenôtre shops in Berlin, Japan, and the Middle East, to co-founding Les Chefs de France at Walt Disney World's Epcot Center, Lenôtre brought French haute cuisine to an international audience. His innovation in catering, leveraging advancements in freezing technology, allowed him to serve gourmet creations at grand events worldwide. Despite setbacks, such as the closure of his New York venture, Lenôtre's resilience and creativity ensured his continued success. Named Pastry Chef of the Century and Le Gentleman Pâtissier, Gaston Lenôtre's legacy endures through his timeless recipes, his family's continued involvement in his business, and the countless chefs he mentored, forever shaping the world of pastry.

In this deliciously cheesy episode, we shine a spotlight on Cabécou — a small but mighty goat cheese that’s full of character and deeply rooted in French culinary history. Often no bigger than the palm of your hand, Cabécou hails from the picturesque regions of Nouvelle-Aquitaine and the Massif Central. But don’t let its size fool you: this creamy gem has a rich past, a distinctive flavor, and a name steeped in the lyrical tones of the Occitan language. We’ll explore Cabécou’s fascinating origin story, tracing its roots back to the Middle Ages and the arrival of goats during the Arab invasion of southern France. You'll learn how its name — derived from “cabe” (goat) and “cou” (little) — offers a charming linguistic window into the local culture. Plus, we take a deep dive into the regions that nurture this cheese to perfection, from the wild, rugged landscapes of the Massif Central to the lush, goat-dotted pastures of Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Of course, no episode of Fabulously Delicious would be complete without a sensory journey. Andrew describes the texture, taste, and ideal season for enjoying Cabécou at its finest — think creamy, nutty, and tangy notes that intensify with age. Whether you’re grilling it for a gooey treat, pairing it with walnuts and honey, or adding it to a simple cheese board, you’ll be inspired to savor this French treasure in your own kitchen. So grab your baguette, pour a glass of wine, and join us on this mouthwatering journey through the hills and markets of southwest France. Whether you're a seasoned cheese lover or just beginning your French fromage adventure, this episode will leave you dreaming of your next bite of Cabécou.

Marie-Antoine Carême wasn’t just any chef—he was the chef des rois et le roi des chefs (the chef of kings and the king of chefs). In this episode of Fabulously Delicious: The French Food Podcast, we delve into the life of this trailblazing culinary artist who revolutionised French cuisine during a time of great upheaval, from the French Revolution to the fall of Napoleon. Known for his towering pièces montées and meticulous codification of French sauces, Carême helped lay the foundations for haute cuisine as we know it. But Carême's talents weren’t confined to the kitchen. He cooked for the likes of Napoleon, the future George IV of England, and Russian Tsar Alexander I, and spent significant time in the service of the famously strategic Talleyrand. Could it be that Carême’s placement in such elite circles had more to do with politics than pastry? A new Apple TV series hints at a fascinating subplot: was Carême a spy? In this episode, we unpack the facts and the fictions. Was Carême truly passing secrets along diplomatic corridors under the guise of preparing extravagant banquets? Or is this just a delicious layer of historical speculation? While the evidence is far from definitive, the possibility adds an irresistible flavour to the story of a man who cooked for the most powerful men in Europe. Join us as we explore Carême’s early life as an abandoned child in Paris, his rise through the culinary world, his groundbreaking contributions to French gastronomy, and the tantalising rumours that swirl around his legacy. Whether he was simply a chef or something far more mysterious, one thing is certain: Carême changed the way the world eats—and maybe, just maybe, the way it thinks.

In this episode of Fabulously Delicious: The French Food Podcast, we continue our series The Story of, where we delve into the lives of extraordinary French chefs from the past. This week, we focus on the life and legacy of Pierre Franey, a master of French cuisine who brought the flavors of Burgundy to kitchens across the world, including those in America. Born in the quaint village of Saint-Vinnemer in 1921, Pierre's passion for cooking was ignited by the rich culinary traditions of his homeland, and by the time he was just a teenager, he was already embarking on a journey that would take him to the heights of the culinary world. Pierre Franey’s career is a remarkable tale of hard work, resilience, and a deep love for food. After honing his skills in some of Paris's most prestigious kitchens, Pierre crossed the Atlantic to work at the French Pavilion during the New York World's Fair. His talent quickly garnered attention, and he eventually rose to become a celebrated chef in the U.S., particularly known for his time as the executive chef at Le Pavillon, one of New York's most iconic French restaurants. Yet, it was his collaboration with Craig Claiborne of The New York Times that truly cemented Pierre's influence on American cuisine, with their partnership introducing French cooking to home kitchens across the country. Throughout his career, Pierre Franey’s contributions to food went far beyond the kitchen. He was a pioneer in making gourmet French cuisine approachable for home cooks, through his popular column The 60-Minute Gourmet and his television shows. In this episode, we explore his journey from a small French village to becoming a household name in America, his influence on the way we cook and enjoy food, and the lasting impact he left on the culinary world.

In this week’s delectable episode of Fabulously Delicious: The French Food Podcast, host Andrew Prior takes listeners on a cinematic journey celebrating the rich intersection of French cuisine and film. Timed to coincide with the glittering start of the Cannes Film Festival, this episode explores how French gastronomy has taken center stage in some of the most memorable food-focused films. From palace kitchens to rustic countryside fare, the episode dives into stories where food isn’t just a background detail — it’s a central character. First up is Haute Cuisine (Les Saveurs du Palais), a film inspired by Danièle Mazet-Delpeuch, the first female chef to cook for the French president. Andrew walks us through this sumptuous, real-life tale of culinary passion and political pressure, reflecting on the beauty of traditional regional cooking and its quiet power in even the most formal settings. With behind-the-scenes trivia and reflections on Catherine Frot’s acclaimed performance, the film serves as a perfect entrée to the episode’s theme: food as memory, resistance, and art. Then it’s on to Le Chef (Comme un Chef), a rollicking comedy that pairs classic French cooking with modern chaos. Andrew explores the film’s humor and heart, as well as the tug-of-war between culinary tradition and innovation. Featuring Jean Reno and Michaël Youn, Le Chef playfully pokes fun at molecular gastronomy while reaffirming the joy and timelessness of French cuisine. It’s a reminder that behind every Michelin star is a lot of butter, a few egos, and a shared love of good food. And of course, no conversation about food in cinema would be complete without a nod to Babette’s Feast, the Danish masterpiece that so perfectly embodies the spirit of French dining that it simply had to be included. Whether you're a film buff, a food lover, or a little bit of both, this episode is a feast for the senses. So pour a glass of wine, grab a chunk of baguette, and settle in for a fabulously delicious celebration of French cuisine on the big screen.

Bonjour. This is Fabulously Delicious the podcast that brings you the wonderful and fabulous people involved in French food, here in France or around the world. They cook it, produce it, talk, write and photograph it, but above all they love it.  I wanted to change it up a little bit on Fabulously Delicious. Each week I’ve been bringing you delicious episodes revolving around a specific topic. We’ve had Cantal cheese, Confit de canard, and Burgundy wines to name a few, and then we’ve gotten to know the guests who are experts on the topic. But in season one I had the pleasure of chatting with renowned chefs like Phillip Tesser and Gabriel Gate. So I wanted to dive a bit into chef life and bring you a different Fabulously Delicious episode. Going forward every now and then I will have episodes devoted to a French chef who’s either here in France or around the world. We will discover their love of French food, their career journey, their life before becoming a chef, and what lead them to French cuisine.  So today is the first of a two-part chat with a French chef that has made his home in Canada. He was born in France and trained to be a chef here, moved to the US, and then settled in Canada where is now the judge on the very popular Great Canadian Bakeoff. Bruno Feldeisen is a wonderful chef that despite a difficult childhood and young adult life in the kitchen has risen to be one of the best French chefs in Northern America. You can find out more about Bruno Feldeisen via the below link https://www.brunofeldeisen.com/about Support the showIf you are planning a trip to France then why not come join me for a cooking experience in Montmorillon or a small group food tour in Lyon and/or Cote D’Azur.
