Gabriel has called upon his friend, Philippe Mouchel, the wonderfully talented French Chef, to prepare some of the great classic dishes of French cuisine.

Gabriel will present three of the segments from France, commencing with Saint Malo the beautiful walled seaside town in Brittany, then from Bagneres-de-Bigorre in the Pyrenees, and finally from Paris.

The rest of the stylish four-minute segments are presented from the terrace and kitchen of 'The Brasserie by Philippe Mouchel', a Melbourne restaurant where Gabriel and his team, including an accordion player and a street organ player, have created a great French atmosphere.

Gabriel introduces a skilful French patisserie, Pierrick Boyer, and special Italian guest chef, Giuseppe Vargetto, plus we visit a French gourmet shop called a Charactuerie, where chef, Stephane Langlois, prepares a delicious Cassoulet.

Christian Maier, an award-winning sommelier, advises on the best wines of each region, while Will Studd, guru of French cheeses, introduces the viewers to a selection of cheeses.
