What do a flan, flan mixto, quesillo, pudim, flan de café, rozata, flan de Cuba, purin, flan Napolitano and leche flan all have in common? In France they are all called a crème caramel.

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 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.

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.

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.
