Floyd on France

Culture Documentary hosted by Keith Floyd, published by BBC in 1987 - English narration



Information
------------------------------

Alors, petits gastronauts! Floyd is here with the best in French cuisine (and a drop of something to wash it down).
Join the 'shy and retiring' cook extraordinaire Keith Floyd in the BBC batmobile as he winds his way through six of the great gastronomic and panoramic regions of France -- and a few of its lesser known mouthwatering kitchens.
Keith Floyd, passionate cook, returns to France, the country where he learned to savour the pleasures of good eating and drinking, a guide to provincial French cooking with Floyd's favorite rustic dishes from the beautiful French countryside. Enjoy savory homestyle meals like Daube a la Provencale and cherished desserts like Gateau basque accentuated by Floyd's humorous commentary.
With a number of recipes - a highly personal selection of some of the favourite dishes that have delighted him over the years - Floyd on France, his BBC 2 series, reflects the rich variety of cooking as it is enjoyed in the cafes and restaurants and at the family tables of provincial France from Brittany to Provence and from Burgundy to Languedoc.
This truly delicious experience includes roasting a sizzling free-range chicken with whole cloves of aromatic garlic amidst the glorious odours and colours of magical Provence; rustling up a delectable wild mushroom omelette with the despotic Madame Moulin in perfectly preserved Perigord, 'the birthplace of a man'; drinking your way through the bountiful ancient vineyards and cellars of the 'golden coast' of Burgundy as well as savouring the other enticing areas of Alsace, the Pays Basque and Brittany.
The classic flavours of French country cooking - the slow-simmering stews, the succulent roasts, the creamy sauces, the melting flans and fragrant bouquets of freshly gathered herbs - are lovingly celebrated and recreated in this vastly entertaining and informative guide with all the sunshine colours, the panache and the poetry of a Gauguin or a Van Gogh.

Produced and Directed by David Pritchard ; BBC South & West Plymouth Production

7)  A Farewell to France
Keith Floyd retraces his steps in all the regions from his tour, reminding people of the main ingredients of each region.
In Provence he visits the restaurant of Andre Guige where a wide selection of Provencal food is displayed. He tries two local wines, Cote de Ventou and Gigondas, in the Provence area with wine experts. He goes back to the Perigord region where he cooks a soup with haricot beans and toasted goat's cheese served with a walnut salad. Finally, he travels to Morlaix in Brittany and talks to Patrick Jefroid on how he cooks on hot stones.
