Take an intimate look inside the world of an immensely talented and driven young chef, Paul Liebrandt, who at 24, was awarded three stars by The New York Times for unforgettable and hyper-modern dishes such as ‘eel, violets and chocolate’, ‘espuma of calf brains and foie gras’, and ‘beer and truffle soup’. The film follows Paul over a decade and reveals his creative process in the kitchen, as well as the extreme hard work, long hours, and dedication it takes to be a successful culinary artist in the cutthroat world of haute cuisine in New York City. Featuring an A-List of culinary luminaries including Grant Achatz and Heston Blumenthal, A Matter of Taste explores the complicated relationships between food critics, chefs and restaurant owners as it delves into the life of an uncompromising, thought provoking, young chef ahead of his time. Directed by Sally Rowe. (From the USA in English) (Documentary) (2012)
