Where important issues of the day are discussed in a hard hitting but civilized manner.
The Forum Plus is KSFR’s occasional spotlight on fascinating people, great books, timely issues, and noteworthy events. On this episode, I’m joined by New York Times bestselling author Luke Barr for a lively conversation about food—and how French cuisine evolved from the rich traditions of haute cuisine to the lighter, more innovative world of nouvelle cuisine.
Our conversation brings the story to life, as Barr shares with me the rivalries and friendships that shaped a culinary revolution. He also talks about the secret past of Robert Courtine, the influential critic for Le Monde, and explores how legendary chefs like Paul Bocuse became global celebrities.
After listening, you just might find yourself heading to your nearest French restaurant.
