Delicious,
France, 2022, Comedy (French with English subtitles)
105 mins, Rated M, Cast: Grégory Gadebois, Isabelle Carré.
This historically-based comedy tells of a gifted chef and his unlikely protégé who yearn to free themselves from servitude.
In France in the late 18th Century, gastronomy is strictly the domain of the aristocrats. So much so, the prestige of a noble house is entirely dependent on the quality and reputation of its meals.
So, when the talented but prideful cook Manceron (Gadebois) serves an unapproved dish of his own creation at a dinner hosted by the self-entitled Duke of Chamfort, Manceron is immediately dismissed.
With nowhere else to go, Manceron retreats with his son to a regional inn, where soup is the only meal served. But when a mysterious woman arrives and offers to pay to become his apprentice, the stage is set for a wildly enjoyable tale of rekindled passion, mentorship and revenge... not to mention the creation of France's very first restaurant.
Joining the ranks of films such as Big Night, Chocolat and Babette's Feast in its joyous depiction of the preparation and love of fine cuisine, DELICIOUS is just that.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
