Jamie Does... - 1x05 The French Pyrenees

In this new series Jamie Oliver travels across Europe to experience local cultures through their food. This time he's in the French Pyrenees, in villages surrounding Toulouse: an area steeped in traditional artisan food. 'The food here is so rich,' says Jamie. 'Truffles, confit of duck, Armagnac, incredible vegetables, kick-ass cheeses and amazing red wines.' It's a diet high in fatty foods and yet the region has one of the highest life-expectancies in France. Jamie goes truffle-hunting with a greedy pig and cooks a delicious omelette with the results. He is inducted into a brotherhood of serious bread makers and learns the secrets of their ancient loaves. He also joins locals on a wild boar hunt and cooks at the subsequent feast; and makes sausages with an expert. Along the way he prepares a classic tarte tatin, Roquefort salad, old school confit of duck, and a country-style terrine.
