THE RED STUDIES

THE TASTE OF THINGS

I finally watched the movie The Taste of Things (2023).

It's a love story, of course. It's a very French story because it's a story of love... for cooking.

The movie is full of beautiful things - marvelous vegetables, still llife like scenes with any kind of food, fine plates and wonderful names of old vines.

The story is placed in the gorgeous frame of the most beautiful times - "la belle époque", France at the late 1880th.

Inspired by the delicious movie scenes I decided to share here my love to the French gastronomy and the "art de table". Because it's known : the food tastes delicious if it's nicely served...

The famous parisian restaurant Le Train Bleu at the Gare de Lyon railway station is an emblem of the combination of gastronomy show, interesting recipes and professional waiters.

The opening of this restaurant goes back to the "belle époque".
