Lauren. Collins's father was a cook, but he left home at the age of twelve. Even so, Lauren has been influenced by delicious food since she was a child and is determined to become a famous chef when she grows up.
In order to raise the tuition, Lauren joined the navy, became a ship's chef, and was soon promoted to be the general's special chef. However, because she couldn't stand the unreasonable criticism of the chief executive, Lauren was ordered to retire on charges of beating the chief executive.
Lauren was introduced by her colleague Miller and went to Dijon, France, because a local national treasure chef, Louis? Boyer just needs a deputy. Lauren rushed over, but Boyer happened to have an argument with the food critic and even kicked Lauren out. When Lauren was depressed, he happened to meet an American professional player who came to France to play basketball. They gave him a ticket for the game. Lauren found Boyer sitting next to him when she was watching the ball game. Under the guidance of Lauren, Boye won the lottery by betting on Dijon. Boyer thanked him and invited him back to cook a dish for Lauren, but he hoped Lauren would return to the United States as soon as possible after eating. Lauren expressed her determination to learn from him. Boyer seemed to be moved, so she promised Lauren to stay until the new deputy arrived.
At first, Lauren couldn't keep up with the speed and was injured from time to time, but gradually she was able to meet Boyer's requirements. One day, Boyer asked Lauren to accompany him to the market. Unexpectedly, Boyer had a fight with someone for the freshness of the fish. Lauren stepped forward to help, and the two of them hurried back. But Boyer's daughter Gabriel blamed Lauren and even hoped that he would leave quickly. That night, Boyer was cooking in the kitchen naked, and Gabriel and her aunt had to ask Lauren for help. Boyer told Lauren that his wife died when Gabriel was four years old and he missed her very much. This heart-to-heart communication has brought them closer.
Gabriel thanked Lauren for talking to his father last night, but the next day, a person who was mistaken for a food critic came to the restaurant, and Boyer cooked for himself, but he didn't expect to be a tax inspector, which made Boyer quite angry. Seeing the tax inspector bring canned food into the kitchen, he was injured angrily and locked himself in the freezer. In order to welcome the guests, Lauren directed the cooking, and some guests even ordered a lobster Italian sour cream sauce jiaozi, which was created by himself, and the person who ordered the food was a food critic.
Lauren got unprecedented praise, but also exposed the identity of illegal work, and Gabriel was also infected by Lauren's sincerity, and they finally got married, and Boyer also gave this famous French restaurant to two people to run.

China and France both claim to be the best in food, and both have introduced the catering and cooking skills to the whole world with different faces, and movies are one of the expressions.
Barbie's Feast is a rare work in food movies. Although this film is not like an exhibition of Barbie's all-French food feast, it brings out the realm and style of French cooking from the chef's spiritual feeling and love view.
Lauren has been influenced by her father since childhood and has deep feelings for the world of food. At the age of twelve, my father ran away from home, which gave Lauren a great stimulus. He once hated his father, but he could not give up the same gift as his father. The director didn't put forward some explanations for this tangle, which made this statement a bit vague. The only echo is that Gabriel's father Boyer finally left the restaurant; So is Boyer's father.
An international chef always leaves home. What's the message? Is it difficult to understand the valuable mystery from the delicious food I have been pursuing all my life?
In this film, Lauren and Gabriel's growing love is the main line, but Boyer and Susanna are another sub-line that can never be ignored. They can even write a book to explain why the chef left home.
Although people's instinctive feelings have different functions due to different organs, they are ultimately related to "love". As far as diet is concerned, it makes people feel happy to face the food with a big forefinger. This impulse is an early indicator of satisfying their desires. When the desire is satisfied, it is also the completion of the sensory stimulation ceremony. And this complete integration of inner mind and external senses will definitely affect people's thinking and concepts. In the "Barbie's Feast", villagers can actually resolve decades of resentment after eating delicious food. The reason is that the sensory satisfaction of the tongue ignites the best factor "love".
Boyer loved his wife Pauline very much, but unfortunately, Pauline died shortly after giving birth to her daughter Gabriel. Boyer once had suicidal thoughts, because he just wanted to see how Pauline was living in the world of death. This is a very touching confession, which also explains why Boyer is a French international chef, but his temperament is weird and grumpy. However, no one knows that these restless restlessness is actually because Boyer is lovelorn. Perhaps Boyer himself knows his true feelings for his wife, which led him to fall in love with the chef Susanna in the kitchen for a long time and suppress himself. The director placed clues in this kind of unmarked emotional arrangement, and the careful audience should be able to find that when Susanna mistakenly thought that Lauren was her "the only thrill" through numerical calculation, Boyer's eyes at the two people behind him were quite complicated and intriguing. When Boyer was hospitalized, Susanna found that she had fallen in love with Boyer, so she did not hesitate to show her love to the hospital. The reason for this love is that two people extend through the complete satisfaction of their tongues in cooking. Boyer and Susanna chose to leave this world-famous restaurant in order to give this love a new life and cognition.
Lauren was the general's cook when she was a soldier, and the female officer Miller was fascinated by his cooking. They had a wonderful talk about food. Whether sincere or joking, dating between men and women is also defined as persistence and love for food, which also provides a close connection between food desire and soul.
Boyer told Lauren that he and his wife were having sex in the kitchen, where Gabriel was conceived. At the end of the film, the director also arranged for Lauren and Gabriel to have sex in the kitchen. This is a fairly standard script mode, which not only emphasizes the theme of the play, but also makes the audience feel the dramatic presentation of the analogy plot.
Boyer advocates natural soup head instead of artificial ingredients, which is the persistence and creative concept of a generation of chefs, but it also provides a kind of sincerity of human nature. Compared with other industries, Boyer also showed his philosophy of life to the audience. "Everything here is the best! This is the principle of Boyer's restaurant, but it is not only the wine and delicacies on the meal, but also Boyer's creative spirit and concept.
The appearance of the auditor is an interesting plot in this film. Because Boyer's sister mistakenly thought she was a food critic, Boyer cooked in person, but it brought trouble to the audit. The auditor ate canned food in the kitchen himself, which caused Boyer's angry attack, because canned food was a great shame to the chef who paid attention to cooking. From this point, we can also see how French chefs are proud of their profession.
When Boyer directs other chefs to cook in the kitchen, he gives orders like the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces. The chef who receives the instructions must respond loudly to show that he really received the message. Many five-star hotels in China also employ many French chefs, but what annoys these chefs most is that the local chefs hardly respond after hearing the news of the chefs. It is really necessary to make a comprehensive review of this point, because it involves more than just cooking; Even the humanistic quality should be fully verified.
The scene between Gabriel and her fiance seems to be deliberate. If they really love each other so much, it seems that they shouldn't break up so easily. This is because the layout of Gabriel's role is different. Her decorator can't provide much help in this film, and even her doctor background with her fiance Vincent doesn't intersect, so the alienation of these grades makes the intersection between her and Lauren seem reluctant.
Generally speaking, although the film is a sketch, it skillfully presents French cuisine; Even the American food culture is cut into it, and there is even a sense of transcendence. Boyer and Susanna praised "Hamburg" when they left. In fact, food can never be distinguished, because the satisfaction of the tongue will inevitably lead to the inner direction. Everyone's affirmation of all kinds of food will come from the inner "love", and who can distinguish between high and low for "love"?
