Season 1
Marcus has a VIP guest coming for dinner, the Mayor of St Remy's sister. As she is a bit of a history buff, he decides to do research into the origins of some local produce.
When in France, it's very easy to focus on the savoury food offerings. Not surprising with the incredible meat, fish, veg and cheese in such beautiful abundance.
There are simple ingredients we have in our cupboards and gardens that can economically transform a humdrum dish into a flavourful feast: herbs.
There's so much amazing food in Provence, but one special ingredient in particular garners a lot of excitement when seen on the menu, beef.
It's fair to say that when it comes to our national classic dishes, the French and the Brits like to do things differently.
There is one delicious food that is adored across the world. It may have started life in South America as the humble cocoa bean, but it's the Swiss, Belgians and of course French, who've turned it into an ingredient we all adore.
Marcus creates a twist on a classic Sunday roast using a meat beloved by the French and Brits alike: chicken.
In Provence, the markets and shops are awash with an extraordinary array of fresh fruit, all locally produced, and it's got Marcus thinking.
There's one essential in France that simply can't be ignored. It's cheap as chips, eaten daily with every meal and is in almost every household: the French baguette.
