Whether they are farmers in the provinces, top chefs in Paris, or cheese refiners in Alsace, they all speak the same language and are driven by the same passion: a passion for their work and a passion for truly good products.
A sheep in a meadow, a goat on a hill, a cow in a field, cheese on a stall or on a plate... When we pause for a moment in the whirlwind of life and take a closer look, behind these bucolic and simplistic clichés, other images cascade into view... and the scenes magically come to life...
A shepherdess whistles to her dog on the hillside, the farmer gathers his goats, and a dashing Savoyard, proud of his herd of cows, happily sets about milking them. The milk is processed, the cheese is matured, and a great chef, on the lookout, selects it from the stall and transforms it into a sublime dish on a plate...
Around forty of these enthusiasts—farmers, producers, restaurateurs, chefs (both Michelin-starred and otherwise), and affineurs from France, Switzerland, and Germany—were interviewed in a simple and candid manner by Armelle Rederstorff and photographed by Jacques Saly, while Pierre Perret wrote the book's preface.
And because it's only a short step from the stable to the stars, these slices of life captured on film result in a beautiful story, both human and delicious, to be devoured.
