Haute Cuisine

He runs the country. She runs the kitchen. Together they serve with excellence.

A renowned chef from Perigord, France, is astonished when the President of France appoints her his personal cook, responsible for creating all his meals at the Elysée Palace. Despite jealous resentment from the other kitchen staff, she quickly establishes herself, thanks to her indomitable spirit. The authenticity of her cooking soon seduces the President, but the corridors of power are littered with traps. In French language with English subtitles.
