In this episode of Fabulously Delicious, The French Food Podcast, we’re exploring the delightful and decadent world of the Baba au Rhum. This classic French dessert, a soft, syrup-soaked cake, has become a favorite across France—and beyond! But there’s much more to this boozy treat than meets the eye. With its roots in Central and Eastern Europe, and a name that means 'grandmother' in Slavic languages, Baba au Rhum has an unexpectedly international past.
We’ll trace the Baba’s journey to France, thanks to an exiled Polish king with a sweet tooth and a clever pastry chef who transformed a dry cake into a dessert legend.

Baba au Rhum has even found fame in Italy, especially in Naples, where it has become a local specialty. Italian pastry chefs took this dessert and added their own spin, creating the ‘babà’ and later inspiring the ring-shaped Savarin cake in France. Both cakes highlight the versatility of the Baba’s basic recipe, showing how one small cake can inspire so many delicious interpretations.
Join us as we uncover the fascinating tale of the Baba au Rhum, from its royal beginnings to its modern-day charm.

Abbaye de Belloc - Cheeses of France Series
Discover the unique story behind Abbaye de Belloc, a cherished semi-hard cheese from the French Pyrenees, crafted from the rare, rich milk of red-nosed Manech cows native to the Basque region. Regulated under France’s prestigious AOC (Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée) laws, Abbaye de Belloc is a part of the Ossau Iraty family of cheeses, renowned for its nutty, caramelized flavors and dense, creamy texture. Each wheel represents a centuries-old tradition and the dedication of the Benedictine monks who perfected this cheese.
In this episode, we journey to the Abbaye Notre Dame de Belloc, near the picturesque village of La Bastide Clairence, a gem of Basque heritage. Learn how the monks’ devotion to labor and prayer inspired their cheesemaking methods, creating a cheese deeply tied to its place of origin. From WWII resilience to agricultural development in the 1960s, Abbaye de Belloc's production reflects a remarkable legacy preserved through local partnerships and modern support.
Abbaye de Belloc’s production uniquely blends regional history with culinary artistry. After the monks turned cheesemaking over to a nearby creamery in the 1990s, Habitat et Humanisme, a French nonprofit, stepped in to ensure the abbey remained a hub for cheesemaking and community service. Today, young interns continue the work, crafting and aging each wheel under the abbey’s roof, honoring an ancient method while supporting affordable housing initiatives.
Indulge in the flavors of Abbaye de Belloc as we explore its exquisite pairing options, from robust wines like Pinot Noir to earthy Shiraz, which enhance the cheese's caramelized richness and nutty character. Join us in celebrating the taste, tradition, and cultural legacy of Abbaye de Belloc—a true taste of Pays Basque’s heritage.

The Story Of Françoise Fayolle
In today’s episode of Fabulously Delicious The French Food Podcast, we continue our series, The Story Of, where we delve into the lives of influential French chefs throughout history. This time, we shine the spotlight on Françoise Fayolle, a pioneering figure among the celebrated Mères Lyonnaises. Born in 1865 in the quaint village of Auzelles, Fayolle’s journey took her from a modest rural upbringing to becoming one of the most admired chefs in France. Her culinary prowess not only earned her fame in Lyon but helped define French cuisine as we know it today.
Fayolle’s early life was a tapestry of hard work and determination. As the eldest of ten daughters, she left home at 15 to work as a cook in affluent households in Grenoble and Lyon. Her time in these kitchens introduced her to haute cuisine, shaping her refined palate and deep love for the art of cooking. In the face of economic struggles, Fayolle took a bold step, opening her own bistro in Lyon. It quickly became a favorite spot for locals, tourists, and performers, showcasing her skill in crafting hearty yet elegant dishes, including her famed poularde demi-deuil and truffle-infused delights.
A key figure in the rise of the Mères Lyonnaises, Françoise Fayolle helped break barriers in a male-dominated culinary world, elevating home-style cooking to new heights. Her restaurant became a symbol of Lyon’s gastronomic evolution, mirroring the city’s transformation from a provincial town to a global culinary hub. Alongside other renowned chefs, such as Eugénie Brazier, Fayolle played an integral role in making Lyon the gastronomic heart of France.
Join us as we explore the life of this remarkable woman whose legacy lives on in Lyon's culinary traditions. Françoise Fayolle, La Mère Fillioux, paved the way for generations of chefs, blending the rustic warmth of home cooking with the sophistication of French gastronomy, ensuring her place in history as one of the greats.

In this episode of Fabulously Delicious: The French Food Podcast, we continue our series The Story of, where we delve into the lives of extraordinary French chefs from the past. This week, we focus on the life and legacy of Pierre Franey, a master of French cuisine who brought the flavors of Burgundy to kitchens across the world, including those in America. Born in the quaint village of Saint-Vinnemer in 1921, Pierre's passion for cooking was ignited by the rich culinary traditions of his homeland, and by the time he was just a teenager, he was already embarking on a journey that would take him to the heights of the culinary world.
Pierre Franey’s career is a remarkable tale of hard work, resilience, and a deep love for food. After honing his skills in some of Paris's most prestigious kitchens, Pierre crossed the Atlantic to work at the French Pavilion during the New York World's Fair. His talent quickly garnered attention, and he eventually rose to become a celebrated chef in the U.S., particularly known for his time as the executive chef at Le Pavillon, one of New York's most iconic French restaurants. Yet, it was his collaboration with Craig Claiborne of The New York Times that truly cemented Pierre's influence on American cuisine, with their partnership introducing French cooking to home kitchens across the country.
Throughout his career, Pierre Franey’s contributions to food went far beyond the kitchen. He was a pioneer in making gourmet French cuisine approachable for home cooks, through his popular column The 60-Minute Gourmet and his television shows. In this episode, we explore his journey from a small French village to becoming a household name in America, his influence on the way we cook and enjoy food, and the lasting impact he left on the culinary world.

Aligot: The French Cheesy Potato Dish You Didn't Know You Needed!
In this episode of Fabulously Delicious: The French Food Podcast, we’re diving into the irresistible world of Aligot, the stretchy, cheesy mashed potato dish that’s a staple in French cuisine. Aligot is made with creamy mashed potatoes blended with garlic, butter, cream, and the star ingredient—Tome fraiche de L'Aubrac.

Aligot's evolution from a simple meal to a regional specialty reflects the ingenuity of French cuisine.
Lastly, we share tips on making the perfect Aligot at home.

Albert Roux, born on October 8, 1935, in the picturesque village of Semur-en-Brionnais, France, was destined to become one of the most influential figures in modern gastronomy. Raised in a family of charcutiers, his passion for food developed early despite the challenges his family faced, including the loss of their business. After moving to Paris, Albert's godfather, a chef for the Duchess of Windsor, introduced him to haute cuisine, setting the stage for his legendary career. His culinary journey took him from Paris to the elite households of England, where he honed his craft and gained the skills that would later revolutionize British dining.
In 1967, Albert Roux, alongside his brother Michel, opened Le Gavroche in London, a restaurant that would forever change the UK's culinary landscape. Le Gavroche became the first restaurant in the UK to earn a Michelin star in 1974, and by 1982, it had achieved three Michelin stars, a remarkable accomplishment. Throughout his career, Albert mentored some of the world’s most renowned chefs, including Gordon Ramsay and Marco Pierre White, earning a reputation as a visionary who could spot and nurture talent. His influence extended beyond fine dining as he ventured into charcuterie, catering, and even hotel management, solidifying his place as a culinary innovator.
Albert’s legacy goes beyond his restaurants. In 1984, he co-founded the prestigious Roux Scholarship, a competition that continues to shape the careers of young chefs in the UK. Additionally, his work with the Clink association, which provides culinary training to prisoners, highlighted his commitment to using food as a force for good. Albert Roux’s contributions to the culinary world have left an indelible mark, making him a true pioneer in both French and British cuisine. His influence continues to inspire chefs and food lovers around the world.
