Special Consideration
Taste Le Tour 2011
This year marks the seventh season of Taste le Tour, and host Gabriel Gaté is as passionate as ever to go deeper into the cuisine of his native France.
- Join Gabriel at 10pm, every night of the tour, from July 2 on SBS ONE.
Across 21 segments, Gabriel will undertake a gastronomic journey like no other, following the route of the famous Tour de France bicycle race and highlighting the famed local dishes of the regions it passes through.
In this year’s Taste le Tour, Gabriel explores his native France and gets up close and personal with the artisans who know food best. Along his journey, he meets a local salt producer, delights in the famous covered market of Challans, encounters a couple who breed chickens and ducks, and visits an apple farm where he learns the secret of making Calvados.
In the kitchen, Gabriel prepares the dishes that are synonymous with each region, such as a flaky, buttery cake from Brittany; Normandy’s famous chicken cooked in cider and Calvados; and, inspired by the Loire Valley, Gabriel makes a luscious strawberry and pistachio tart.
Taste le Tour 2011 begins just metres from the starting point of the Tour de France, on the island of Noirmoutier. It’s here that Gabriel meets home cooks harvesting shellfish during low tide. In the kitchen, Gabriel makes a delicate dish of poached oysters in chive sauce, with new season potatoes.

Hot Tips
Goose fat and roast potatoes
Rough up the edges of parboiled potatoes by tossing them around the colander (like you would bounce a tennis ball on a racket) this helps create a crunchy exterior. Add them to the roasting dish with a couple of tablespoons of duck or goose fat, rolling in the fat and season generously.
Glossary
Basmati Rice
A fragrant rice native to India and Pakistan.
