About
Life without restaurants is hard to imagine. In fact, the first such establishments, in France, were for the fastidious who shunned eating and required a restorative broth or “restaurant”.

After the Revolution, the unemployed cooks and maîtres d’ of the aristocracy finally began introducing the paying public to their cuisine. Presented by Sylvia Sagona.
