Series 1: Episode 3
There is one thing in France which seems even more important than food: sport - be it football, tennis or pétanque. Marcus combines the French passions of food and sport to impress some local pétanque players. He hunts for the best of an ingredient he knows the French adore: cheese, visiting a local producer of goats' cheese who gives him a whirlwind apprenticeship in all things goat. The result is a fresh and creamy cheese which inspires a fabulously simple recipe of deep fried courgettes with goats' cheese and lavender honey.\n\nAlso, Saint Remy restaurant owner Jana shows Marcus how she makes a Middle Eastern-inspired no-cook dish of goats' cheese labneh. On the day of the pétanque match, Marcus attempts to win over the locals by bringing a cheese board with a simple homemade tapenade that’s sure to secure his place on the team.
