Description

America's most famous chef might be mild-mannered, but the recipes in his cookbook are so demanding that he actually warns his readers not to try them at home. His name is Thomas Keller, and if you want to eat his food you may have to wait up to two months to get a reservation at one of his restaurants. Lara Logan visits Keller's restaurant "The French Laundry" to find out what makes this 5-hour meal worth waiting for.

Loved this program!.......2005-05-31

This program was very basic and easy to understand for the beginner. It talks about the foods of France and the history those foods. It is also filled with footage from France to real make you feel like you are there while you learn about their foods.

Grade school overview.......2004-05-09

This is a VERY simple overview of French food. No recipes. No cooking demonstrations. Tells you things like what a chef is. Maybe 20 minutes long or so. Simply put, it is not a very good deal.
