Synopsis

As the chef-owner of a modestly successful provincial restaurant, the last thing Hortense Laborie expected was to be called on by the president of France himself to act as his personal chef. Soon after taking the job at the Élysee Palace in Paris, she discovers that navigating the protocols imposed by the kitchen`s snobbish all-male old guard is even more challenging than catering to the president`s culinary whims. As the battle for influence over the head of state wages on among the kitchen staff, Hortense sets out to prove that she can take the heat. Based on the real-life story of the personal chef to former French president François Mitterrand.
