Haute Cuisine

Haute Cuisine is a film starring Catherine Frot as Hortense Laborie, a self taught chef who is invited to cook personally for the French President.

Based on the real-life chef Danièle Mazet-Delpeuch, who worked for François Mitterand, this movie concerns Madame Laborie’s attempts to make the presidential table less fussy. In this quest she comes up against the chauvinistic head chef (in charge of larger banquets) and his all-male staff. Luckily she has Arthur Dupont playing a hunky young chef to assist her.

View the trailer for Haute Cuisine

Not only are there Too Many Cooks in the world of  Hortense Laborie,  There are too many in the world of the fictitious British Good Food Awards too.


Too Many Cooks is an 8 Player murder mystery game from ITM Games.

The story opens at the highlight of the culinary year, the annual British Good Food Awards dinner. But before the prizes can be awarded, Veronica Hacker, the investigative journalist, is found dead in her suite. Was she the victim of revenge, or another dish best served cold.......

Who could have done it?

Possibly Annabel Sloane-Ranger, the Roedean educated girl who now runs a successful catering business with a couple of school-chums. Or maybe Fay Rocher, who moved to Britain from Switzerland at the age of 21, bringing the tradition of fine chocolate making with her. Or how about her business partner, Sandi Beech. Then there is Doug Meadows, the American tycoon who has recently introduced US-style cookies to Britain. And who can forget life-style guru Trisha Branflake?

And what of the other suspects?

 

Peter Savoury enjoys fast cars and living dangerously. Did Peter do something too dangerous? Everyone knows Bill Wordsworth bakes exceedingly good cakes, and is an excellent employer who looks after his staff well.....but did he take care of Veronica? Rudi Emmental is a reclusive Swiss cheese maker. He rarely leaves his hideaway in rural Devon. Did he have an ulterior motive for coming here? 

  

The only way to find out is to order the Too Many Cooks - Murder Mystery.

Too many cooks?

Brompton Cookery School

Someone who never has too many cooks in his kitchen is Marcus Bean. He tells the Shropshire Star that he loves meeting all the people who attend his cookery school.
The courses offered  by the Brompton Cookery School range from basic to advanced  and attract all ages and abilities with a diversity of talents, skills and interests. The school will shortly play host to a charity event where home bakers from all over Shropshire can take part. The Great Shropshire Bake Off aims to raise money for the Shropshire Rural Community Council’s Carers Appeal.
