28:35Marcus has a VIP guest coming for dinner, the Mayor of St Remy's sister. As she is a bit of a history buff, he decides to do research into the origins of some local produce.
28:36When in France, it's very easy to focus on the savoury food offerings. Not surprising with the incredible meat, fish, veg and cheese in such beautiful abundance.
28:42There are simple ingredients we have in our cupboards and gardens that can economically transform a humdrum dish into a flavourful feast: herbs.
28:41There's so much amazing food in Provence, but one special ingredient in particular garners a lot of excitement when seen on the menu, beef.
28:37It's fair to say that when it comes to our national classic dishes, the French and the Brits like to do things differently.

28:43There is one beautiful thing that we Brits and the French have in common and that’s the pride we take in our local dishes. Marcus was born and bred in Lancashire where they know a thing or two about good food, and there is a particular dish that they gifted to the British cannon, Lancashire hot pot.

28:39When you think of French food, certain things spring to mind: wine, cheese, frogs legs. But often its a super simple ingredient that is at the centre of great food in Provence. Whether you consider it a fruit or a vegetable, there’s no denying that here, the tomato is king.
