French Food Safari Series 1

French Food Safari is the ultimate food lovers feast – a celebration of exquisite French food in all its delicious complexity. Made by the producers of SBS Television's highly acclaimed Food Safari and Food Lover's Guide to Australia series, French Food Safari is a 9-part spectacular devoted to the extraordinary intricacy and pursuit of excellence in the French kitchen. Presented by Maeve O'Meara, the series follows one of France's best exports to Australia, renowned chef Guillaume Brahimi (Guillaume at Bennelong) as he takes us through the world he knows and loves. Filmed across France and Australia, we'll enter the kitchens in which he learned his craft and the many places of food pilgrimage he holds dear – including one of the world's great wholesale food markets – Rungis outside Paris, selling fish, meat, fruits, vegetables and cheese. With Guillaume, we'll also visit some of the temples of French food – the best Parisienne chefs, bakers and patisseries, fromageries and markets – and explore some of the places that produce world-renowned butter, salt, cheese, truffles and wine, visiting their origins across regional France. Guillaume and some of Australia's top French chefs will also share their favourite French recipes so that some of the techniques and crafts are de-mystified and made available to home chefs. Recipes include delicious classics like Coq au Vin, Cassoulet, Bouillabaisse and Rabbit Terrine.
