From 1888 to 1914, Alexandrine’s life is guided by her passion for cooking – a passion that is handed down to her and she will in turn pass on.

But after meeting Marin, the owner of the Bois Noirs inn, her prospects in life start looking up and he becomes her husband. For better, because in this renowned inn, which attracts the local bourgeoisie as well as the first tourists to start visiting Mont Pilat, Alexandrine delights in learning how to cook and picking up all the little tricks of the kitchen. It turns out to be a genuine passion, which is actively nurtured by Marin’s grandmother.

keeps her dream alive: to one day have her own inn in Lyon where she
