Learn about how they work, live and stay curious in their pursuits of a sustainable approach to cooking perfection along with a learn-how-to-cook-like-a-master chef segment to prepare these haute-cuisine recipes in your own home. On our journey through France we'll explore the creative minds and environments of these entrepreneurial masterchefs.

With passion for taste and perfection, they introduce us to the sustainable thinking that permeates their craft, from carefully chosen producers, sustainable food handling, to the palate of the guest.

Description
In this program we'll get acquainted with the unique story of self-taught Rene and Maxime Meilleur, father and son running a three-star Michelin restaurant in Saint-Martin-de-Belleville in the Savoy region. As they put incredible focus in their craft, they have elevated home cooking to exceptional levels, while at the same time building their luxury hotel all by themselves. We'll also meet the only producer in the region that still holds up the old tradition of producing sheep's cheese.
