Description: 1947 and Paris is recovering from the war. Abandoned by her mother, lonely, frightened and terribly homesick, Colette finds solace in her love for French food, roasted lamb stuffed with garlic, springtime strawberries bathed in creme fraiche, the first taste of truffle in a Left Bank restaurant.
