[吃]盘子里的法国France on a Plate (2008) -BBC

Cultural historian Andrew Hussey takes us on a gastronomic tour through French history, from Versailles, the spiritual centre of French power politics and the birthplace of French cuisine, via the French Revolution and the creation of the Michelin guide, through to nouvelle cuisine and ethnic fusion food.

For Hussey, France emerges as the 'Republic of Food', a place where the health of both its democracy and its civilisation can at any one time be gauged by how well its people are being fed.

Some of France's top chefs, including Paul Bocuse and Pierre Gagnaire are among those he meets on the way.
