Product: Beau Brummell - This Charming Man (2006)
Rating: 5.0
Sumptuous film
A superb period drama from the book written by the excellent Ian Kelly. This film throws new light onto an age of elegance and decadence, and the rags to riches to rags story of one of the great characters of the Regency. In another book, Ian Kelly has portrayed the life of that iconic chef Antonin Careme, the father of haute cuisine, with great care and feeling for his subject, going to the extreme lengths of perfecting many of the original recipes in his own home. 'Cooking for Kings: The life of Antonin Careme, the first celebrity chef' is, quite simply, a delicious read.
