DIL Tami highly recommended the movie “The Taste of Things.”
I watched it that same night.
And, loved it.
It’s about cooking in France around the turn of the century, and it was so fun to watch two chefs, with beautiful ingredients and the help of one other person, produce the most gorgeous dishes. In what we could say was a primitive kitchen today.
The movie is beautifully filmed, and the love story so sweet.
Here’s a review by Roger Ebert. There were others praising the film as well, and you can google those if you like.

I’m going to look for that movie. Thanks.
Thanks, I put it in my Audible account and will listen to it next. Looks good!
