Synopsis: On the eve of the French Revolution, Pierre Manceron, a bold but proud chef, is dismissed by his master, the Duke of
Chamfort. A chance encounter with an extraordinary woman who wishes to learn the culinary arts by his side restores his confidence and
inspires him to break free from his status as a servant to begin his own revolution. Together, they invent a place of pleasure and sharing,
open to all: the very first restaurant. An idea that will earn them both loyal customers… and powerful enemies.
