Jamie Does...

French Pyrenees (1x5)

Data emisji: Maj 12, 2010

In this new series Jamie Oliver travels across Europe to experience local cultures through their food. This time he's in the French Pyrenees, in villages surrounding Toulouse: an area steeped in traditional artisan food. 'The food here is so rich,' says Jamie. 'Truffles, confit of duck, Armagnac, incredible vegetables, kick-ass cheeses and amazing red wines.' It's a diet high in fatty foods and yet the region has one of the highest life-expectancies in France. Jamie goes truffle-hunting with a greedy pig and cooks a delicious omelette with the results. He is inducted into a brotherhood of serious bread makers and learns the secrets of their ancient loaves. He also joins locals on a wild boar hunt and cooks at the subsequent feast; and makes sausages with an expert. Along the way he prepares a classic tarte tatin, Roquefort salad, old school confit of duck, and a country-style terrine.
