Review Television is awash in food these days, most of it utterly forgettable, at best (I'm still having flashbacks from having accidentally watched five minutes of "The Chew"). Want to see what food on film could really be like? Check out this series of French documentaries. There are nine of them so far, each focusing on a different three-star chef, and they are absolutely splendid - maybe the best food programs that have ever been made. In fact, to call them "food television" is to miss their point. On these videos there is no shouting, no contrived competition, actually, not even any outsized personalities, despite the fact that the stars are some of the best, most creative chefs on the planet. At their cores, these videos by director Paul Cotat are 1-hour mediations on creativity and imagination, with food being the common medium. If that sounds lofty and intellectual, well, so be it. But that doesn't mean that the shows aren't also a lot of fun, albeit in a quiet, contemplative way. Each documentary is different in theme and in tone, varying with the chef. Michel Bras walks the stark landscape around his restaurant in Laguiole commenting on the interplay of light and shadow and suddenly his highly abstract plating comes into focus. Alain Passard contemplates the simple beauty of a roasted onion. Michel Troisgros emerges as an almost tragic figure as he repeatedly tries to reinvent dishes made famous by his pioneering father and uncle. Cotat visits Italian Nadia Santini (the only non-French chef in the series) starting with an attitude that could be most charitably described as paternalistic (maybe even condescending?), but comes away utterly seduced by the way she coaxes complex flavors from simple, perfect ingredients. This is what real cooking is about when done on the highest level. Yes, there are recipes, and, yes, there are techniques explained. But what the shows are really about - and what great cooking is really about - is the human element. Anyone can sauté eggplant, given the right set of instructions and a little practice. But the ability to turn that eggplant into art is the province of a very few. --Russ Parsons, Food Editor, LA Times ## Images ![Inventing Cuisine: Pascal Barbot - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61SdRUDcIdL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inventing Cuisine: Pascal Barbot *by T***G on February 2, 2011* I'm not a fan of reviews but it's important for professionals to have an idea of what's worthwhile to purchase. Working in the food industry doesn't allow you to be stupid with the little money you make. The series Inventing Cuisine ... allows you to visit the kitchens of those French chefs I most admire. This one, that highlights Pascal Barbot is beautiful. You have a chance, with this DVD, to have a glimpse into how a genius thinks. I also need to warn anyone interested in the serious that this is not about how to cook. These DVDs are interested in why an individual is a professional cook. These DVDs, and this review, is for professionals only. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this Series *by R***S on February 18, 2013* Some of these guys are kind of nutballs, but the filmmaking is fantastic and the food is wonderful.The dopes who did Modernist Cuisine declare in their introduction that the French ran out of gas. I think not.This was an especially good one in this series. Really interesting character and lots of wonderful food featured. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by A***R on August 17, 2014* great --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/20398689-inventing-cuisine-pascal-barbot](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/20398689-inventing-cuisine-pascal-barbot) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
