Synopsis
French Leave is a cookery show that goes
beyond the kitchen, taking us on a journey into the French
countryside and into the heart of a family. Fed up with life
in the U.K., two Michelin star chef John Burton Race is
swaping the pressures of a highly successful London restaurant
for a farmhouse in south-west France. Joining him on this
adventure are his wife Kim, their six children ages between
three and sixteen and the family pet - a Labrador puppy.
John hopes to
rediscover his family, his love of cooking and his creativity. But will the reality of life in rural France match up
to his dreams, or will it be a case of out of frying pen into the
fire? | |
