French Cooking in 10 Minutes

As much a drama as a cookery series, it dramatises Edouard de Pomiane's 1930s culinary classic, Cooking in Ten Minutes, adapted by Nicholas Cooper. Tonight Dr Pomiane, a Polish research scientist in Paris, creates a simple and delicious meal for his guest, the mysterious Madame X, of prawn omelette, veal with petit pois, green salad, cheese and fruit.
