Le Cirque: A Table in Heaven
This intimate portrait of Le Cirque founder Sirio Maccioni and his three sons - to whom he will one day leave his formidable culinary legacy - is the fascinating story of a family business caught in the world's spotlight. A must-see for anyone who is passionate about food and dining, it shows us a family embroiled in the age-old struggle between tradition and change. “Terrific access! Maccioni is a delight to watch!” - The New York Times
   
Kings of Pastry
DA Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus (The War Room, Don't Look Back) turn their sights on the Meilleurs Ouvriers de France, France's Nobel for pastry. High drama ensues as sixteen chefs whip up delectable, gravity-defying concoctions, and the inevitable disasters prove both poignant and hilarious. “Spellbinding brilliance, high drama and humor!” - Chicago Tribune
   
Guy Martin: Portrait of a Grand Chef
Guy Martin is the chef at the legendary Michelin 3-star Parisian restaurant Le Grand Véfour. Guy Martin: Portrait of a Grand Chef reveals Martin's philosophy of cooking, which ranges from resolutely traditional to savagely creative, and brings to life the sources of his inspiration. Excellent...an entertaining profile that will please serious foodies and aspiring chefs.” - DVD Verdict
   
A Matter of Taste: Serving Up Paul Liebrandt
A Matter of Taste follows talented young chef Paul Liebrandt for over a decade, revealing his creative process in the kitchen as well as the extreme dedication it takes to be a successful culinary artist in the cutthroat world of haute cuisine. “A gastronomic thriller!
