Episode 3

Marcus indulges in the French passions of food and sport. He goes on the hunt for the ultimate local cheese to impress some p茅tanque players.

There is one thing in France which seems even more important than food: sport - be it football, tennis or p茅tanque. Marcus combines the French passions of food and sport to impress some local p茅tanque 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.

Also, 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 p茅tanque match, Marcus attempts to win over the locals by bringing a cheese board with a simple homemade tapenade that鈥檚 sure to secure his place on the team.
