Haute Cuisine

Based on the actual recruitment of a woman engaged to provide private meals for the President of France, Haute Cuisine is a light, gentle froth of a film without much of a plot or tension.

The President's request is for simple fare reminiscent of his family upbringing so it is ironic that most of what we see cooked for him looks quite fancy to me but it all makes for pleasant viewing.

There is a rather dubious Australian connection threading through the film although our Kiwi cousins get the last say.
