A Matter of Taste: DVD Review
Rating: M
Released by Madman Home Entertainment
Kiwi directed doco from Sally Rowe, this looks at the rise, fall and resurrection of English chef Paul Liebrandt, the youngest chef to ever get a 3 star NYTimes rating.
Over the course of a decade, we follow Paul as he espouses and lives his
philosophy that "A chef who doesn't cook is a very miserable chef"
and works in brasseries and joints which are clearly holding his career
back.
Level headed (only one Ramsay style explosion is shown), Liebrandt is an
affable doco choice with his determined nature the one thing which shines
through from start to finish.
Beautifully shot and vibrant with shots of food
which will make you salivate,this doco is a testament to dreams, creativity and
culinary drive.
There's also an elusive hunt for a critic's visit but you are
100% behind this chef from the get go as we chart the highs and lows of a
fickle trade.
