Cathy Marie here.
I called yesterday.
Will you call me back?
It's for a quote.
Thank you. Bye.
Our contestants have
to make a simple dish,
eggs benedict, with our
famous chef Lyna Deletto.
See you soon in The Cook.
Order: 1 ceviche
verde, 1 pumpkin soup.
After that: 1 tempura, 1 cannelloni.
- Yes, chief.
Two place settings:
1 ceviche, 1 lamb, 1
soup and 1 beet organ.
Service. For table 14.
Oh my God, the smells always here.
Nice change from Paris.
Bye everyone.
Hello, Robin, what are you preparing?
A beautiful apple pie.
And you paint the cakes?
- Yes, like nails.
A manicurist.
I'll come get one later, Robin.
What is this?
The new appetizer?
Our colorful summer tomato.
With the young shoots.
That looks nice.
Is this a creation
you've already tried?
Yes, but it continues to evolve,
according to what is available.
Try to do what I told you.
When you look at me,
smile at the camera.
That's how people keep watching.
Thank's sweetheart.
What is this?
- Lobster parmentier.
Lobster parmentier?
I saw this when we entered.
A real picture.
Our beet organ.
Bye Cathy. - Hey.
Can the balsamic vinegar be added?
The balsamic.
Honey and hibiscus
powder give it some panache.
We'll stick with the balsamic.
Are you pouring it over?
How many place settings
do you have for lunch?
About 60.
- Really?
Order: 1 ceviche verde,
1 pumpkin soup.
After that: 1 tempura, 1 cannelloni.
Yes, chief.
Get the lamb done.
- Yes, chief.
What about the monkfish?
Ready, chief. - He can go.
Baptiste, the two starters.
Two starters coming up.
Watch out, hot, hot.
Service, table 16.
- Okay.
This won't take long.
The beets.
Do I get an explanation?
I used my herbs.
You put capers on the John Dory,
too much basil on
the grilled tomatoes...
Did they like it or not?
- That's not the point.
Anyway, that's what it's about.
That's why I ask.
Serge, did they like it?
Yes. - There you go.
I know the people come
for you, for the goodies,
the broadcasts, your book and all.
But also for my cooking skills.
I just ask for some respect.
I'll be clear, Cathy.
In the garbage I
find ten like you.
You're part of my kitchen squad,
so you follow my rules. Easy.
Start by taking off your earrings.
OK, then I'm out.
I don't have time for a
third-rate TV chef. Incredible.
You know where the door is.
- I know that all too well.
You know what?
There is enough work.
Finally.
Why do not you answer? No range
in your kitchen? Are you kidding me?
Do me a favor, Fatou.
I came as soon as possible.
What has she done now?
Your face is on thunder.
She did it to me again.
The beet organ is my recipe.
She changed the spices
with her stupid balsamic vinegar.
It needs honey and hibiscus powder.
That creates swing and
removes the ground taste.
What is this for?
I want to go to the North Pole.
Wait, did I drive 30 km for that?
Yes, of course. If you're not
famous, you mean nothing.
If a trip to the North Pole
makes me a star, I will.
That also applies to you.
There are two options.
You act like the Americans
and follow your dreams, like me.
Or like the French and
keep whining about hibiscus.
Follow my advice.
- Fatou, I follow my dreams.
Come on, he picks up.
I am Fatou, single and 30
years old, born in Wazemmes.
I recently...
I am Fatou, single and 30 years old.
I recently...
OK, again.
I am Fatou, single and 30
years old, born in Wazemmes.
I did a commercial for Biovidis.
I've been acting for 10 years.
I took an online course
with Jean-Michel Parquet,
Mel Gibson's French
voice-over in 1993.
I'm getting something from you.
Stop laughing. I can't work like that.
Hi Jrme, it's Cathy Marie.
Do you remember me?
You gave your ticket...
OK, call me back. See you soon.
Yes, with Cathy Marie.
Did you receive my message?
Yes. Sorry I...
I wanted to know if you guys are recruiting.
Because I'm away from Lyna Deletto. I
was in the mood for something different...
Yes. She took it well.
I left without a fight, but...
I was wondering...
How is your team? Are you...
With Jeremy?
Okay, but I trained Jrmy.
Changing chef is a
breath of fresh air...
My restaurant?
Didn't I tell you?
Yes, but that's not right away.
OK, keep me posted.
Keep me informed.
CASTING HAUTS-DE-FRANCE
DE SOUSCHEFS
Sign up for THE COOK Season 12
What is it?
Are you sure it's this way?
- Yes, of course.
Your GPS is wrong.
Not true.
It can't be here.
- Yes. The GPS says it's here.
This doesn't feel right.
Beyonc sang about that
too and look where she is now.
Thank you for that.
Forward. "Charming restaurant,
demanding customers".
I am going already.
RECEPTION HERE
What does he have for French?
- He's getting better. Almost a 10.
You see? For math too.
The problem is not with his points.
But at registration.
Excuse me. Hey.
I'm looking for Lorenzo Cardi.
For the vacancy of chef.
She's here.
Hey. - Hey.
Hey. I'm Sabine.
I love Lyna Deletto.
Now that you're here, I'm going to
be honest. We've made it a bit nicer.
How so? - We placed an ad:
"Home for unaccompanied minors is looking
for a cook." Not a single reaction.
We have changed our approach.
I was not convinced.
But Sabine persisted.
- Sorry, I don't quite understand.
I would like to know, the
"charming restaurant"...
Where is that?
- Here, in the home.
Like I said, what better presented...
- The restaurant is here?
Yes. In the beginning, you know...
But in the end...
- And the demanding customers?
These are minors, unaccompanied,
foreign, and waiting
for papers. Migrants.
They are posted here.
We assess their school level
and help guide them.
As for the job of cafeteria cook,
the wage is 1,450 net euros
per month plus room and board.
We go. This is not for me.
- Where to?
Where to?
No idea.
I'm not a cafeteria cook.
Do you have a better offer?
I do not think so.
Cathy.
Follow your dreams.
You take the job and you
save for your own restaurant.
She's going to be a tough one.
I feel it.
Are you OK?
Should I really not help you?
I do this with pleasure.
With pleasure.
There you go.
Can I say "you"?
- Yes, if you want.
If you need
anything, want to ask
anything, anything,
just knock on my door.
Do not hesitate.
- That's sweet, thank you.
Where is it? - Upstairs.
It's a small floor.
- There's another floor?
No no. No. No.
Here it is.
This is all for you.
There is a kitchenette and
a small sink in the hallway.
Have dinner tonight.
Then you can taste my cooking skills.
It's not haute cuisine.
And then you can see the boys.
No thanks.
I want to be alone tonight.
I'm a little sick.
- I have a small pharmacy.
I have everything I need.
Okay. Please.
See you tomorrow.
And... What's Lyna Deletto like in real life?
Small.
Good evening.
- Well well. Yes, have a nice evening.
Welcome everyone
to this special place.
We're in the desert.
In this unusual environment
the candidates compete.
They are assisted by our
well-known chef Lyna Deletto.
See you tonight at
9 p.m. at The Cook.
This is not possible.
Excuse me.
Can I get a coffee somewhere?
Kind guest.
- He has...
- No, you have.
You have.
What training do you have to follow for this?
Social work. That takes three years.
- Three years?
Why isn't this working?
Damn.
Hey... Kitchen?
Kitchen?
Never mind.
I know he can hear me.
At least he can answer anyway.
It's not true.
Yes, I understood.
Awesome. Any idea where it is?
Evening. Evening.
I am, I have...
- Anemone.
Ma'am, what is the anemone?
The anemone.
A beautiful pink flower.
"Anemone" is equivalent to "flower".
Sabine, I can't find the kitchen.
Apple.
I'm looking for the kitchen.
Who brings Cathy Marie to the kitchen?
- I. Can I come with you?
Go ahead, Gusgus.
- I do think so. Just tell me where it is.
Follow me, ma'am.
At the table. - Madam?
At the table.
It's over here.
Is Gusgus your first name?
Yes, like in Cinderella.
Gustave is for administration.
And you are Cathy?
The Cook.
I would also like to be a chef.
I'm still hesitating between
lawyer, social worker...
I like to cook.
Then you have to work hard.
It's a difficult road.
What does "difficult" mean?
It's hard and long.
How do you spell that?
M-O-E-I...
Z-A...
A-M.
"Difficult" equals?
"Difficult" equals?
Equals hard, long.
The kitchen is there.
I liked it.
Welcome to the home.
Nice to meet you.
- Pleasant, Gusgus.
Yes?
Can I help you?
Even when it's difficult
No, I'm fine, thank you.
Go to your friends.
Okay ma'am.
Oh no.
"Charming restaurant." Well.
Oh no...
"And simple fare."
What a nightmare.
I won't ask where the stadium is.
Boubacar, there.
Excuse me. Hey sir.
Sir.
Do you have a moment?
muscle strain.
How are you?
Installed properly?
No. Thank you.
The kitchen is a disaster.
There is nothing to work with.
Canned only.
And the hygiene is on the edge.
That's very good for
a home, believe me.
They like ravioli and football.
So we give them ravioli and football.
He is crazy.
Incredible.
Are you already gone?
- An appointment at the municipality.
Can I have a piece of bread?
Thank you.
Do you want a piece? - Please.
I'm hungry.
Sabine, are you going to get the boys?
Will you get the others?
- They are gone. It is 2.15 pm.
Why are they gone?
They have an appointment, or
they are asleep or not hungry.
I can wake them up.
- I will go.
No, it's okay.
- Ma'am, can I have two portions?
Sure, take it, Gusgus.
Wait a second.
I'm also going to get a plate.
Will you bring one for me too?
That looks delicious.
Take some thyme.
- That's not necessary. Thank you.
This looks delicious.
With some parmesan.
Cheer up, Cathy. Leftovers
can go in the microwave tonight.
I always do.
That works perfectly.
A storm is coming.
What a pass.
But he loses the ball...
A new version of
spaghetti carbonara.
No idea what I'm going
to do with the endive.
I mix that with my avocados
and make it into an emulsion.
How is Antoine doing?
It looks like he's in trouble.
Cooking is very physical.
It's an endurance sport.
Bitch.
- Then you are a top athlete...
And now?
What is this?
The box switches off at 10 p.m.
So the guys aren't on
social media all night.
Or on websites with
You know, spicy websites.
Thank you, Sabine.
- Don't mention it.
Good night.
Can you still hear me now?
- No, barely.
Barely, barely.
Jean-Franois just called.
The meeting was last night.
Starting school now is not an option.
There's too much to catch up on.
Did they refuse me? - Yes.
Sorry.
Try the Gabriel Pricollege.
- Did I do. There's no place.
Alpha, when are you turning 18?
- In four...
In four months.
Thank you for trying.
I have to go, I have a lesson.
Call me, Lorenzo.
I will do. - See you soon.
Thank you, Anne-Marie.
I understand that you give
priority to French students.
But now I have to enroll
them in their vocational training.
Yes.
Good...
Okay. Thank you. Bye.
35 boys have not eaten.
Can you explain that?
Yes. It takes a long time on my own.
Yes of course.
But serving plate by plate, even
though Gusgus likes
it, is not necessary.
Wait a second. That's just the way I am.
I do things right. Okay?
Teenagers just want to eat a lot.
The presentation...
Don't migrants have
the right to good food?
I did not say that.
I just can't prepare
70 meals on time.
If you need help, ask the
guys. They like nothing better.
Because migrants can only play football?
Is that it?
Then we agree.
They must be free at 2 p.m.
So respect the timetable.
That's a golden house rule here.
I choose my suppliers.
Listen, I have 8 euros per child per day.
If you stick to that, you do...
You're the boss.
You're the chief, aren't you?
Yes. - Do what you want.
I don't have time for this.
I'm not her sidekick.
She begs me for help.
I am an actress.
PREPARATION
COOK
STORAGE (BUTTER, EGGS...)
Keep the herbs and vegetables separate.
You just asked for some help.
And now I'm your delivery man.
I have better things to do.
Name one actress who
hasn't had shitty jobs.
There are not any.
Not a single one.
But you're on Julia Roberts' highway.
Because lugging
all those crates gives
you energy, feeds
you, gives you strength,
makes you stronger.
Don't you feel that?
If you ever get a delivery
driver role, you'll be prepared.
Thanks to whom? Thanks to me.
Thank you Cathy Marie.
Julia Roberts sold pizza
and shoes for Pretty Woman.
She drives me crazy.
Am I interrupting? - No.
I want to ask you a favor.
I need three commis.
We are here.
Cathy.
Wait a second.
What do we start with?
How many are they?
I told you they're motivated.
I had said three commis.
Cut the carrots and
zucchini into julienne.
There are cutting boards, the knives
are there and the peelers are here.
What is a peeler?
- To peel vegetables.
What does "julian" mean?
It's like gusgusienne,
or mamadouienne,
yadafienne, cathytienne...
Stay away from the leek.
And of that too.
Everyone from my kitchen.
Outwards. Get out.
out of my kitchen.
Put that down.
That and that.
I need a minute. I can not...
This requires planning.
- Naturally.
Or it's chaos. - We come back.
This is not the intention.
Julienne is a way
of cutting vegetables.
I don't know either.
We look at the website The Cook.
Is there a problem?
- That is nothing. Chefs flip out sometimes
if they work in the top
of the French kitchen.
The flipping chef asks
you to take off your hat.
Sabine, they know nothing about cooking.
Indeed.
We'll start with the basics.
That's gonna be great.
Believe me.
SHALLOTS TESI need commis to
help me in the kitchen.
A commis is the chief's assistant.
Precisely.
There are shallots for you.
I want you to peel them
and cut them very finely.
Three, two, one, go.
Madam? Can you show it off?
I do not know how to do it.
Just start. - I'm done, ma'am.
This is exactly what I don't want.
I can't make sauce with this.
And I didn't ask for this.
That's how I do it.
Good. But then you can go.
In my country, men don't cook.
You address me as "chief".
I don't have a chief.
- Also fine. You can go.
Look at me.
Nobody gives me orders.
- Take a deep breath and sit down.
If you don't take orders
from a woman, leave.
There are basic rules.
Not agreed? There's the door.
- Oh yeah?
I'm not forcing anyone.
- Then what is this?
Not very. We go on.
Not bad. Put the peels in here.
Just to be clear... Listen up.
In my kitchen there is no religion,
men, women, sexuality
and certainly no misogyny.
Is that clear? - Yes.
Yes who? - Yes, chief.
Well done. - Madam?
The onions make my eyes water.
They are shallots.
That's too big.
Very small, very small.
Where are the shells? - Here.
That's for the sauce.
- Very well.
Chief?
That's great. Bravo, Gusgus.
If the tests are done,
will I be selected?
You have to work for that first.
Forward.
The mall there cost millions,
and the kids are there.
They just have to cross.
Simple, right?
And we still have beds available.
Let me do the talking.
They're right there.
Everything fine?
Everything fine? - Hey.
This is Lorenzo.
Hey.
He runs the home I spoke of.
Do you remember?
Give them the visitor cards.
In the home there is a
video room and table football.
Wi-Fi? Internet?
Yes, we have internet.
You can use Facebook
and Instagram until 10 p.m.
You can call us day and night.
You can drink, eat, study.
I will introduce you to people
who can take care of your papers.
Our papers!
He doesn't get it.
It would be good if they come.
What is he doing here?
Djibril, stand up, please.
Forward.
- How did you get here?
How did you get that cap?
Get out of the car. Get out.
I ask again.
How did you get this cap?
And this?
How do you get here?
Djibril?
We promised.
And you promised to Lorenzo.
What are you doing here?
I'm listening.
Cathy. - Yes?
If you have time, I
want to talk to you.
Yes.
But quickly. I have a lot of work.
Sit down. - What is it?
I have to say something.
Sit down.
It's very difficult for us
bonding with the boys.
They have been exploited by adults.
Gaining their trust takes time.
And we don't have that.
If we don't enroll them in school,
they will be expelled when they turn 18.
If they do stupid things
because a cook kicked them out,
that is the same.
- Hold on, if you mean...
Let me finish.
I realize well enough that
you're not going to stay here.
But while you're here,
please don't break the bond
that we have with them.
If a child wants to help in the
kitchen, don't send him away.
Is that clear?
Is that clear?
Yes.
Good.
Like it or not, you are like us.
It is also your job to watch them.
The ball is for Moussa Mariga.
The ball is released
again by Somali Dialo...
That's a penalty.
That looks good, chief.
What is it?
Linguini with seasonal vegetables.
Cathy. Stay here.
Sit down.
Next to Djibril, the football connoisseur.
He will explain.
Come on, Cathy.
Djibril.
She's standing next to you. Explain it.
Come on, Djibril.
She listens. Explain it to her.
Don't embarrass me.
Those are...
African countries playing.
Mali against Mauritania.
Do you play soccer?
Since I'm little.
My dream is to sign
a promise contract
at a club.
What is that?
A contract to become a professional football player.
Like Cristiano Ronaldo.
Have you already been to a match?
- No not yet.
If I have money, I will go.
Ever.
Very tasty.
Sorry.
This is very nice, chief.
Cooking starts with good products.
Today we are going to collect
leeks, cabbages and stuff.
Always the same method.
We take the vegetables
out of the ground and
clean them. We take
off the sand. Understood?
I'll show it first.
Well done.
There's another next to it.
The landmarks are
the small leaves.
Use your hands or you'll break them.
This smells very strong.
Here.
Do you want to taste?
Or rather smell.
Everyone has seen that.
Chirac, Zidane...
They fought over it.
Broadcast during the World Cup.
- Excuse me, what are you doing?
Fatou talked about her acting career.
Okay. Before Scorsese
calls, could you help us first?
Because we're on our own there.
Awesome. Thank you.
What's your name? - Mamadou.
The crate is full.
Take him there.
This is the map of
the cheeses of France.
Which cheeses do you know?
- Camembert only.
A good start.
Where is the camembert?
There. - No. That's gruyere.
What does roquefort look like?
Roquefort contains blue pieces.
That's mold, but good mold.
With a strong taste.
It's a veined cheese.
The tail, the head.
Watch your fingers.
Look.
Okay?
BASTE, HERBS
That's how I want it.
What are you doing?
- Trimming the meat.
Trimming the meat means
removing the inedible pieces.
How long is it in the oven?
That's called searing the meat.
- Sear the meat.
Keep your carrot like that.
So he can run.
From the top down.
Like a dancer.
There you go. Understood?
It rhymes with buttocks. Dill.
Basil smells good. Smell.
Tasty radishes. - Is not it.
Well done.
A white cabbage? - Yes.
Look how beautiful. Look.
Beautiful right?
Jerusalem artichokes. - Look.
White cabbage.
What do we fillet?
Fish.
Gusgus, how are the dishes?
- Difficult, chief.
Never set a table before?
- No, chief.
Come on, Jibril.
Sell me your veal tataki.
Dear Cathy, dear Sabine...
- Watch out, or you'll drop your plate.
Hello ladies, this is...
a Japanese dish?
Again.
You don't know what you're selling.
Veal carpaccio with grapefruit.
The meat is...
Do not move. Stand up straight.
This is our dish.
Tatapi made of beef. Tatati.
It is veal from Aveyron and
Sgala grown on Japanese pastures.
The intersection of earth and
sea is a delight for the tongue.
I didn't understand it.
The roots smell super good.
I invite you to taste.
You apologize.
You act like this.
They are French ingredients.
I hope it will taste.
flavors.
I advise you to taste this dish.
You're going to enjoy it.
There you go.
Prepared in its broth,
with its own meat broth,
very tender and...
served with a selection
of baby vegetables.
I feel like tasting it.
We want to eat that tataki.
- Sure.
And Cooking in one-two-three?
- Yes, take it.
Swann's side
I don't mean to be rude, but
is Cathy Marie your real name?
Many stars have a pseudonym.
Claude Franois, for example.
That's a pseudonym.
So I was wondering if Cathy Marie...
Cathy was the midwife
who gave birth to me, and
Marie was the teacher
who taught me how to cook.
She raised me.
In a home?
Yes.
Did you never know your parents?
No.
But that's okay.
I left when I was 16
started in a restaurant, where
I was also allowed to stay.
Washing dishes during the day,
secretly making my own dishes at night.
The chef tasted one
and hired me as a help.
That's how it started.
I wanted to be an archaeologist.
But my father said I couldn't.
"You can never do that, poor sheep."
Nevertheless...
I travel. I'm watching Blue
Planet, Discovery Channel...
and I left.
I'm not really brave.
Do not say that.
That's not true.
What you're doing in
the home is very brave.
I mean it.
That's very brave.
Come on, let's cook. - Come on.
VOCATIONAL TRAINING
Antoine Griezmann was a sensation.
The striker of Les Bleus kicked
a beautiful penalty in the
match against Bulgaria.
The French striker has proven
himself to be one of the best attackers.
Les Bleus' next match
is against Germany...
Good morning, chief.
Excellent.
Bye, chief.
Can I keep my earring?
Yes. - Thank you.
Very well. Very neat.
- Thank you, chief.
Good morning, chief.
- Your hands? Perfect.
What's that here?
That is cool.
- Not true. That's dirty.
Go wash them.
With soap. And scrub well.
Good. Today
as a first dish we
make a leg of veal
with carrot puree,
served on a plate.
I need three chefs de partie.
First chef de part.
Baking and roasting.
Mamadou.
You will be the
Griezmann of the roasters.
Griezmann is my favorite player.
It's the chef who decides.
- But I love Griezmann.
Second chef de partie: garnish.
Djibril. You'll be peeling
carrots, chopping herbs...
That is the role of a striker.
You will be assisted by two
commis: Mohamat and Irakli.
Third chef de partie: sauces.
Important.
Alpha.
Accuracy, Alpha.
- I make the best sauce in the world.
Perfect. The defense...
Boubacar, Sai and Yadaf.
You do the service.
Your job is to set the tables.
I want a nice attitude.
You are the first contact.
Smiling, attentive.
And finally,
a team is not complete
without a goalkeeper.
And the person I
chose is exceptional.
Gusgus. That job is for you.
Dishwasher. Very important.
You have to intercept, sort,
clean all kitchen utensils. Okay?
- Yes, chief.
Today we are a team.
We're forming a brigade.
I'm counting on you.
Is that clear? - Yes, chief.
Is that clear? - Yes, chief.
Everything okay, Sayed?
Ladies and gentlemen...
Leg of veal from Aveyron and Segala...
Ladies and gentlemen,
we have a leg of veal
from Aveyron and Sgala
with rosemary, served
with carrot puree.
You can go now.
Back to the kitchen to dress up.
Yes, chief.
Service.
Sauces. Ready, Alpha?
Follow me.
Forward.
That's it, neat.
Small portions, not too big.
Which is good.
Perfect.
Service.
Come on guys. pace.
Good...
There is still a lot of work to do.
It was a simple dish.
And we can do much better.
But for a first time...
you weren't bad.
Do you know why, chief? - No.
Because we're the...
- Best.
Because we're a...
- Brigade.
Because we're the...
- Best.
Because I'm the...
- Mascot.
No time to relax.
Brigade, brigade, brigade.
Go ahead. - It's calling.
On Thursday she is
away for the recordings.
You've said that ten times already.
It's the day of the recordings.
Understood?
Hello, Lyna Deletto.
- It's Lyna Deletto.
Naturally. It's her restaurant.
Forward.
Hello, I want to reserve a table
for Thursday evening.
Then we are fully booked.
- Curd.
Ask for the following Thursday.
I explain the situation.
I'm Kim Kardashian's agent.
I have to throw a
surprise party for her
birthday and David
Letterman just agreed.
I don't get excited.
If you can't help, don't mind.
I'm calling Fouquet's.
They will receive us with pleasure.
I'm sure of it.
I don't thank you. Bye.
I'll see what I can do.
Stay on the line.
We found another table for you.
I won't be there on Thursday.
- That's okay.
They don't blame you.
- How many people?
Ten people. - Twenty, ma'am.
No. - Listed.
Very well. Till Thursday.
Thank you. Bye.
How many fingers?
I see 10. But for Kim's
birthday, there are 20 of us.
Otherwise it's ridiculous.
I'm going to eat at Lyna
Deletto's restaurant.
What a stupid person.
5 minus x is...
How much is x?
Good...
There you go.
5 grams
flower
minus x is
3 grams of flour.
What is the value of x?
Two grams. - Very well.
Now that you understand this,
let me make it a little more difficult.
1 roll of puff pastry.
How much for 3 quiches?
Three.
- Now even more difficult.
150 grams bacon strips.
For three quiches?
I heard it everywhere.
Especially in the back.
I'm coming.
Sorry to bother you, chief.
My mother wants to see you.
She insists.
I didn't want to disturb you.
Hey. - Hello, ma'am.
Are you my son's boss?
Yes. - I wanted to talk to you
to thank you for everything
you do for my son.
I don't do much.
Yes, you really do a lot.
You make him a great chef, don't you?
He certainly has it in him.
It's nice talking to you.
- Shall I give Mamadou back?
Yes, but did he say
anything about our spices?
We have excellent spices here.
Did he say that?
- No, but he will.
I'll give Mamadou back.
- Thank you.
Thank you. Do you
now believe she exists?
Naturally.
That wasn't hard, was it?
How are you doing? - Good.
But I have to hang
up, I'm in her room.
I'll go and call you back.
Who are you leaving with?
Out, I mean.
Where are you going?
- To my room, to call you.
Have a talk with your mother.
I miss you so much, boy.
I know, but I have to go now.
- Then go.
Bye. Kiss. - Kiss.
She is always worried.
That is normal.
- I won't delay you any longer.
I'm going.
Thank you. - Thank you, chief.
Thank you, chief.
- Don't relax.
Chief?
I like you.
Do I close the door?
Hey.
Hi, Anne-Marie.
Professional chef training
Organize vocational training
It's ambitious.
Something like this takes a long time.
But if you succeed, you
immediately have 20 registrations.
Thank you.
Would you like to go for a drink?
Yes.
Thank you.
That looks chic.
One thing...
- Yes, sir?
The bill is mine. - Naturally.
Thank you.
I expected David Letterman to be bigger.
Great.
Ladies and gentlemen,
beet organ with honey vinaigrette
and hibiscus powder, signature Cathy.
Have you worked here? - Yes.
Enjoy your meal.
Do you know "Proust's madeleine"?
No.
It's a taste or smell that
brings back memories.
And my madeleine from Proust
is the dish you are going to eat now.
Do you like it? - Yes.
Real? - Yes.
It is important to me that
I can share this with you.
It's part of me.
CHILDREN'S HOME
There you go.
That's a chiogga beet.
Very well.
Now we are using a cookie cutter.
The first part of the organ.
You are a natural.
I am Yadaf.
I am from Ethiopia.
I was a student in Ethiopia.
I took a preparatory
course for university.
It was not my choice
to leave my country.
My father was an
important trader.
He went on a journey
and never came back.
My father lived
with his second wife.
He gave me to someone
a man who smuggled
people into Europe.
They sent us to
underground houses.
They've taken everything.
I was 16.
I have been in Morocco
for almost 3 months.
After Morocco came...
Pakistan, Iran, Turkey,
Greece, Serbia, Croatia,
Austria and then Belgium.
- I'm from the Congo.
I am 10 years old. My
dream is to succeed in my life.
I am from Bangladesh.
I came through India.
That was a year ago.
I left alone. I was 14.
I came to France
to help my brother.
I want to find a job, earn
money and send it to him.
I had hoped to work
in a hospital in France.
My dream is...
go home, see my mother's face
and show her that I'm someone.
And that she is proud of me.
This is a dish from my country.
It's called injera.
My mother used to make this dish
every day before
I went to school.
I really want to feel that I am
with my grandmother and mother.
I'm going to prepare that.
I present you a dish today
called maf chicken.
It's the sauce
that my mother taught me.
My first sauce.
I have often prepared it with her.
I miss her immensely.
I miss her.
Come on, Jibril.
Come on, Jibril.
Benjamin.
Come on, Jibril.
- Come on, Reda.
Arthur, come here.
Bye, Arthur.
You play well.
Which club do you play for?
Bethune Stade.
- I want to talk to you after the match.
Yes, Jibril. Yes.
Yes.
Do amateurs score goals? - No.
I didn't think so either.
So you are not an amateur.
That guy is clueless.
An amateur.
Scoring is what counts. Don't let
anyone tell you you're an amateur.
You scored the only goal.
You had to be selected.
If you ever play for Man
United, send that idiot a ticket.
We have tickets for the final.
Djibril, you can hand out the cup.
He wants a promise contract.
- Thank you, Cathy. I know that.
But you didn't say anything.
You were nodding a bit.
I don't take it that
you doubt my work.
Do not tell me what to do.
Especially not with a teenager
who can use it against me.
When I have
something to say, I say it.
And you should too.
You should have told
us not to have his cup.
Djibril doesn't want him either.
You should have said that.
You have no ambition.
Are you ready?
I'm trying to organize a
professional chef training here.
I was going to tell you on occasion.
That is my ambition for them.
Keep them here in France.
Imagine...
COURT OF BETHUNE
HOUSE LA ROPTIERE
...claims to be an
unaccompanied minor...
...medical researches...
They doubt the
authenticity of their papers
and want to determine their
age through x-rays of their bones.
If the law doctor
thinks they are over
18, they will be
convicted and deported.
Have a lot on your plate
means having lots of things to do.
Sitting with the baked pears
means to pay for something.
Hunger is the best sauce
means when you are
hungry you like everything.
Capping your own beans,
Take care of yourself.
I'm raising the table now.
Bone age
Between 18 and 22 years old...
According to the test
results that just came in
are you over 18.
My family counts on me.
My mother also counts on me.
I did not think...
that it would be
so hard to live here.
I thought...
that everything was here.
I'm sorry, Jibril.
I can't do anything anymore.
Gugus, there will be a
podium for the winning team.
We'll put the cup on the pedestal, okay?
Michel, we're using the music
you played at the retirement home.
But be on time.
Gugus, do you understand?
Do you understand?
He does not understand.
Can you picture it?
Journalists, local
representatives,
important people...
- Don't treat him like an idiot.
I get it, the day you
hand out the national cup,
did you save the planet.
Do you know what?
He's the one who deserves a cup.
And his name is not Gugus.
His name is Gusgus.
Ever heard of Cinderella?
Of course.
Know your classics.
Sabine, let's go.
I am coming.
come. - The national cup.
What is that?
Hey. What's your name?
First name? - Pierre.
Have you ever participated?
- No never.
Your address?
You may go there. - Thank you.
Cathy?
It's there. Follow me.
Here.
Participating in The Cook is the opportunity
of a lifetime. And I want to grab it.
Cathy Marie is a born fighter.
She grew up in a home
and worked his way up
in the kitchen on his own.
Ever since she was little, she
has dreamed of becoming a chef.
Only 3 of the 12 remain.
Today Cathy, Enzo and Alexis are taking
compete against each other
in the final elimination stage.
Only 2 participants
have a chance of a place
in the grand final
and at 50,000 euros.
Welcome to The Cook,
the sous chefs.
Three two one,
Start.
I'm making ceviche from langoustines
with lots of spices and fresh flavours.
I combine it with the fennel.
That looks good.
Do you marinate the turnips?
- Indeed.
I'm going to make a coulis...
Isn't that too common
for a semi-final?
Isn't that too common
for a semi-final?
I am an ordinary girl.
That's how people want their turnips.
Dear participants,
5 more minutes.
Think about dressing.
One more to go, chief.
- Not too much lemon.
Wipe the board. - Yes, chief.
Mackerel in the garden. What do you think?
That will be the name of the dish.
Four three,
two one...
hands in the air.
Follow the rules.
Take a step back.
Thank you.
We are in the main shopping street
looking for Cathy
Marie's pop-up restaurant.
You can see how focused she is.
Logical, because there
is 50,000 euros at stake.
Cathy, first impression?
It's perfect.
And? - It's perfect.
Enzo, you chose Arno
as commissioner.
Cathy, you focus on the decoration.
Yes. - And you chose Fatou,
an interior architect.
Welcome, Fatou.
Careful on the cobblestones.
You look very elegant.
You may stand to the right of Cathy.
Thank you Fatu. - What is this?
Nice is not it.
- This is too much.
Not true. - It is too much.
I look beautiful.
We discover the restaurants.
Dear viewers,
I'd love to see you back
at 9:00 PM for The Cook.
They broadcast serials first.
I like Expedition Robinson.
- Isn't that a staged game?
No.
Don't forget we're going
live with The Cook at 9pm.
Who are we waiting for?
- Michael. Michael.
Thank you. Thank you.
Hey.
I have a delivery for
Cathy Marie's restaurant.
The name of the company?
Fatoo Design.
- The decoration is there. Fatoo Design.
Will you check?
Okay, that's fine. - Thank you.
Let them through.
Camera A: Luc.
Camera B: Jean-Jacques.
Camera C: David, camera
E: Antoine, camera D: Seb.
You're not done yet.
One more table to go.
Okay. - Go, go, go.
Hot.
Get the scallops ready, give it
a quick sweep and you're done.
Okay, chief.
- We're going for it.
Live in 10 seconds.
Nine, eight, seven...
Focus, everyone.
...five, four, three,
two one. Opening generic.
Luc, exterior shot, please.
Is the audience ready?
The camera to me.
We hear a lot of gossip about him.
A picture of the customers now.
We have started.
We're live here tonight
with some special guests
hiding behind that door.
Just like us, they
are eager to discover
the restaurants.
Welcome to The Cook.
Over to Enzo. David, with you.
Okay, perfect.
Seb, another frame, please.
Welcome to The Cook.
Welcome everyone.
There are a lot of fans of yours tonight.
Very nice to receive you.
Good evening. Welcome.
You will have a top evening.
Gilthead bream ceviche...
Good evening.
Welcome to Enzo Enzo.
Shall I take your coat?
What about Cathy Marie?
Who is that?
- A mother with her son.
Micka, go to Cathy Marie.
Enzo is a boring bunch.
I need interesting images.
Patou, I'll be with Cathy in 2 minutes.
Calm down.
What is it? Open the door.
The door is locked.
- Locked? How so?
Tom, Cathy's door is locked.
Can you help?
We'll be there in a minute.
Kevin and me.
Do you have the drill? - Yes.
What are they doing to me?
We're going live.
- Live in five, four...
- Come on.
Smile, Micah.
Smile, please.
We're live here.
Let's go to our second
candidate, Cathy Marie.
I think our favorite
chef is hard at work.
I can even hear some noise.
So Cathy...
Cathy, it's Michael.
This is wrong, Patou.
She locked herself in.
The best moments...
- Cathy's best moments.
Dear viewers,
while you wait, let's
recap the best
moments of Cathy Marie.
Turns.
Hold on, Patou,
something isn't right here.
Take it easy.
- Why did she lock herself up?
She locked herself in.
Do you know this woman?
Have you checked her?
- Of course we checked her.
Did we check her? - Not really.
It is well. Everything is fine.
What now, Patou?
Broadcast the sponsors? - Yes.
Shit. Hurry up, guys.
To the sponsors.
Sponsors in two, one...
On antenna.
I think we have some time
to mention our sponsors.
Those are Terra Delyssa olive
oil and Lagostina kitchenware.
You need to give me some space.
Take it easy. Or
people think you're crazy.
There is nothing to see next to it.
Enzo is a boring bunch.
- It's okay.
Come on, away, away, away.
We're going to improvise.
- Go in now.
...three two one...
We are finally here in front
of Cathy Marie's restaurant.
We managed to open the door.
We can't wait to see the inside.
Go on, Sylvie, go on in.
Go inside.
Your son follows you in.
#COOKING CLASSES TO SAVE MIGRANTS
Damn.
Patou, I'm not going in here.
This is the work of a psychopath.
What does this mean?
Cathy, are you here?
No no...
Take a seat. Sit down.
Cathy, are you here?
We're broadcasting live
from Cathy Marie's restaurant.
You can see that the
decor is very special.
We have no idea what
awaits us in the kitchen.
Cathy?
Are you there?
It's Michael.
What is all this?
Hey. Welcome to Cathy Marie.
Who the hell is that?
We are now in the kitchen.
And we are a bit surprised...
What's all that?
There are a dozen
commis at work.
Ask them where Cathy is.
I'm going back to Enzo.
Where is Cathy Marie?
- Good evening.
I just want to...
Gentlemen, please
don't complicate things.
I'll come back to you, Micka.
Enzo's is a disaster.
We stay with you.
Find Cathy Marie.
While we wait for
Cathy, introduce yourself.
I am Mamadou. I
want to become a
chef and follow
Cathy Marie's training.
Excellent.
Good luck with the exams.
If the training does not
come, we will be expelled.
Those are migrants.
And we're live.
This is an unprecedented situation.
I want to work as a chef in France.
You want to work as a cook.
But are you here legally?
No not yet.
Are any of you legal here?
- No.
I'm screwed.
- Welcome to Cathy Marie.
I propose the buf
bourguignon Mamadou style.
A combination of Aveyron and Guinea.
Enjoy the taste journey
with this starter according
to our slow cooking process.
What is Proust's
saka saka by Gusgus?
And 2 saka saka, please.
The beef.

I am Fatou, single and 30 years old.
I did a commercial for Biovidis.
I don't know who that is.
It is always repeated.
What does it matter?
Live, live, live.
This is an unforgettable
television moment,
live at The Cook tonight.
We go back to the kitchen,
where the young people are at work...
Bye, TV. I'm Alpha
Barry from Ivory Coast.
If anyone is watching right now
who can help Cathy
Marie organize the course...
I want to thank Cathy Marie.
She taught me a lot.
I am motivated, friendly,
punctual, respectful.
We need such young people.
They have ambition
energy and are eager to learn.
Look who's standing here with
me, a huge fan of Cathy Marie.
Good evening.
Madam.
You are live.
She has my microphone.
Boubacar moved me, and
I'm looking for someone.
Sorry, I have a second call.
I'll call you right back.
Hello, I have two places
available for training in Treignac.
My big dream is...
to open a restaurant in Paris.
Even if that is difficult.
I'd like to be called
"Chef" for one day.
How cool would it be if
people said "Yes, Chief".
That is my dream. I must dream.
Three saka saka tabboulehs.

Bye everyone.
There are shallots for you.
I want you to peel them
and finely chopped.
And from today
and for the rest of
the year, if I ask you
a question or ask
you to do something,
you answer "Yes,
Chief", nothing else.
Is that clear?
Yes, chief.
Yes, chief.
Chrome Copy Center.
Leave a message.
Cathy Marie here.
I called yesterday.
Will you call me back?
It's for a quote.
Thank you. Bye.
Our contestants have
to make a simple dish,
eggs benedict, with our
famous chef Lyna Deletto.
See you soon in The Cook.
Order: 1 ceviche
verde, 1 pumpkin soup.
After that: 1 tempura, 1 cannelloni.
- Yes, chief.
Two place settings:
1 ceviche, 1 lamb, 1
soup and 1 beet organ.
Service. For table 14.
Oh my God, the smells always here.
Nice change from Paris.
Bye everyone.
Hello, Robin, what are you preparing?
A beautiful apple pie.
And you paint the cakes?
- Yes, like nails.
A manicurist.
I'll come get one later, Robin.
What is this?
The new appetizer?
Our colorful summer tomato.
With the young shoots.
That looks nice.
Is this a creation
you've already tried?
Yes, but it continues to evolve,
according to what is available.
Try to do what I told you.
When you look at me,
smile at the camera.
That's how people keep watching.
Thank's sweetheart.
What is this?
- Lobster parmentier.
Lobster parmentier?
I saw this when we entered.
A real picture.
Our beet organ.
Bye Cathy. - Hey.
Can the balsamic vinegar be added?
The balsamic.
Honey and hibiscus
powder give it some panache.
We'll stick with the balsamic.
Are you pouring it over?
How many place settings
do you have for lunch?
About 60.
- Really?
Order: 1 ceviche verde,
1 pumpkin soup.
After that: 1 tempura, 1 cannelloni.
Yes, chief.
Get the lamb done.
- Yes, chief.
What about the monkfish?
Ready, chief. - He can go.
Baptiste, the two starters.
Two starters coming up.
Watch out, hot, hot.
Service, table 16.
- Okay.
This won't take long.
The beets.
Do I get an explanation?
I used my herbs.
You put capers on the John Dory,
too much basil on
the grilled tomatoes...
Did they like it or not?
- That's not the point.
Anyway, that's what it's about.
That's why I ask.
Serge, did they like it?
Yes. - There you go.
I know the people come
for you, for the goodies,
the broadcasts, your book and all.
But also for my cooking skills.
I just ask for some respect.
I'll be clear, Cathy.
In the garbage I
find ten like you.
You're part of my kitchen squad,
so you follow my rules. Easy.
Start by taking off your earrings.
OK, then I'm out.
I don't have time for a
third-rate TV chef. Incredible.
You know where the door is.
- I know that all too well.
You know what?
There is enough work.
Finally.
Why do not you answer? No range
in your kitchen? Are you kidding me?
Do me a favor, Fatou.
I came as soon as possible.
What has she done now?
Your face is on thunder.
She did it to me again.
The beet organ is my recipe.
She changed the spices
with her stupid balsamic vinegar.
It needs honey and hibiscus powder.
That creates swing and
removes the ground taste.
What is this for?
I want to go to the North Pole.
Wait, did I drive 30 km for that?
Yes, of course. If you're not
famous, you mean nothing.
If a trip to the North Pole
makes me a star, I will.
That also applies to you.
There are two options.
You act like the Americans
and follow your dreams, like me.
Or like the French and
keep whining about hibiscus.
Follow my advice.
- Fatou, I follow my dreams.
Come on, he picks up.
I am Fatou, single and 30
years old, born in Wazemmes.
I recently...
I am Fatou, single and 30 years old.
I recently...
OK, again.
I am Fatou, single and 30
years old, born in Wazemmes.
I did a commercial for Biovidis.
I've been acting for 10 years.
I took an online course
with Jean-Michel Parquet,
Mel Gibson's French
voice-over in 1993.
I'm getting something from you.
Stop laughing. I can't work like that.
Hi Jrme, it's Cathy Marie.
Do you remember me?
You gave your ticket...
OK, call me back. See you soon.
Yes, with Cathy Marie.
Did you receive my message?
Yes. Sorry I...
I wanted to know if you guys are recruiting.
Because I'm away from Lyna Deletto. I
was in the mood for something different...
Yes. She took it well.
I left without a fight, but...
I was wondering...
How is your team? Are you...
With Jeremy?
Okay, but I trained Jrmy.
Changing chef is a
breath of fresh air...
My restaurant?
Didn't I tell you?
Yes, but that's not right away.
OK, keep me posted.
Keep me informed.
CASTING HAUTS-DE-FRANCE
DE SOUSCHEFS
Sign up for THE COOK Season 12
What is it?
Are you sure it's this way?
- Yes, of course.
Your GPS is wrong.
Not true.
It can't be here.
- Yes. The GPS says it's here.
This doesn't feel right.
Beyonc sang about that
too and look where she is now.
Thank you for that.
Forward. "Charming restaurant,
demanding customers".
I am going already.
RECEPTION HERE
What does he have for French?
- He's getting better. Almost a 10.
You see? For math too.
The problem is not with his points.
But at registration.
Excuse me. Hey.
I'm looking for Lorenzo Cardi.
For the vacancy of chef.
She's here.
Hey. - Hey.
Hey. I'm Sabine.
I love Lyna Deletto.
Now that you're here, I'm going to
be honest. We've made it a bit nicer.
How so? - We placed an ad:
"Home for unaccompanied minors is looking
for a cook." Not a single reaction.
We have changed our approach.
I was not convinced.
But Sabine persisted.
- Sorry, I don't quite understand.
I would like to know, the
"charming restaurant"...
Where is that?
- Here, in the home.
Like I said, what better presented...
- The restaurant is here?
Yes. In the beginning, you know...
But in the end...
- And the demanding customers?
These are minors, unaccompanied,
foreign, and waiting
for papers. Migrants.
They are posted here.
We assess their school level
and help guide them.
As for the job of cafeteria cook,
the wage is 1,450 net euros
per month plus room and board.
We go. This is not for me.
- Where to?
Where to?
No idea.
I'm not a cafeteria cook.
Do you have a better offer?
I do not think so.
Cathy.
Follow your dreams.
You take the job and you
save for your own restaurant.
She's going to be a tough one.
I feel it.
Are you OK?
Should I really not help you?
I do this with pleasure.
With pleasure.
There you go.
Can I say "you"?
- Yes, if you want.
If you need
anything, want to ask
anything, anything,
just knock on my door.
Do not hesitate.
- That's sweet, thank you.
Where is it? - Upstairs.
It's a small floor.
- There's another floor?
No no. No. No.
Here it is.
This is all for you.
There is a kitchenette and
a small sink in the hallway.
Have dinner tonight.
Then you can taste my cooking skills.
It's not haute cuisine.
And then you can see the boys.
No thanks.
I want to be alone tonight.
I'm a little sick.
- I have a small pharmacy.
I have everything I need.
Okay. Please.
See you tomorrow.
And... What's Lyna Deletto like in real life?
Small.
Good evening.
- Well well. Yes, have a nice evening.
Welcome everyone
to this special place.
We're in the desert.
In this unusual environment
the candidates compete.
They are assisted by our
well-known chef Lyna Deletto.
See you tonight at
9 p.m. at The Cook.
This is not possible.
Excuse me.
Can I get a coffee somewhere?
Kind guest.
- He has...
- No, you have.
You have.
What training do you have to follow for this?
Social work. That takes three years.
- Three years?
Why isn't this working?
Damn.
Hey... Kitchen?
Kitchen?
Never mind.
I know he can hear me.
At least he can answer anyway.
It's not true.
Yes, I understood.
Awesome. Any idea where it is?
Evening. Evening.
I am, I have...
- Anemone.
Ma'am, what is the anemone?
The anemone.
A beautiful pink flower.
"Anemone" is equivalent to "flower".
Sabine, I can't find the kitchen.
Apple.
I'm looking for the kitchen.
Who brings Cathy Marie to the kitchen?
- I. Can I come with you?
Go ahead, Gusgus.
- I do think so. Just tell me where it is.
Follow me, ma'am.
At the table. - Madam?
At the table.
It's over here.
Is Gusgus your first name?
Yes, like in Cinderella.
Gustave is for administration.
And you are Cathy?
The Cook.
I would also like to be a chef.
I'm still hesitating between
lawyer, social worker...
I like to cook.
Then you have to work hard.
It's a difficult road.
What does "difficult" mean?
It's hard and long.
How do you spell that?
M-O-E-I...
Z-A...
A-M.
"Difficult" equals?
"Difficult" equals?
Equals hard, long.
The kitchen is there.
I liked it.
Welcome to the home.
Nice to meet you.
- Pleasant, Gusgus.
Yes?
Can I help you?
Even when it's difficult
No, I'm fine, thank you.
Go to your friends.
Okay ma'am.
Oh no.
"Charming restaurant." Well.
Oh no...
"And simple fare."
What a nightmare.
I won't ask where the stadium is.
Boubacar, there.
Excuse me. Hey sir.
Sir.
Do you have a moment?
muscle strain.
How are you?
Installed properly?
No. Thank you.
The kitchen is a disaster.
There is nothing to work with.
Canned only.
And the hygiene is on the edge.
That's very good for
a home, believe me.
They like ravioli and football.
So we give them ravioli and football.
He is crazy.
Incredible.
Are you already gone?
- An appointment at the municipality.
Can I have a piece of bread?
Thank you.
Do you want a piece? - Please.
I'm hungry.
Sabine, are you going to get the boys?
Will you get the others?
- They are gone. It is 2.15 pm.
Why are they gone?
They have an appointment, or
they are asleep or not hungry.
I can wake them up.
- I will go.
No, it's okay.
- Ma'am, can I have two portions?
Sure, take it, Gusgus.
Wait a second.
I'm also going to get a plate.
Will you bring one for me too?
That looks delicious.
Take some thyme.
- That's not necessary. Thank you.
This looks delicious.
With some parmesan.
Cheer up, Cathy. Leftovers
can go in the microwave tonight.
I always do.
That works perfectly.
A storm is coming.
What a pass.
But he loses the ball...
A new version of
spaghetti carbonara.
No idea what I'm going
to do with the endive.
I mix that with my avocados
and make it into an emulsion.
How is Antoine doing?
It looks like he's in trouble.
Cooking is very physical.
It's an endurance sport.
Bitch.
- Then you are a top athlete...
And now?
What is this?
The box switches off at 10 p.m.
So the guys aren't on
social media all night.
Or on websites with
You know, spicy websites.
Thank you, Sabine.
- Don't mention it.
Good night.
Can you still hear me now?
- No, barely.
Barely, barely.
Jean-Franois just called.
The meeting was last night.
Starting school now is not an option.
There's too much to catch up on.
Did they refuse me? - Yes.
Sorry.
Try the Gabriel Pricollege.
- Did I do. There's no place.
Alpha, when are you turning 18?
- In four...
In four months.
Thank you for trying.
I have to go, I have a lesson.
Call me, Lorenzo.
I will do. - See you soon.
Thank you, Anne-Marie.
I understand that you give
priority to French students.
But now I have to enroll
them in their vocational training.
Yes.
Good...
Okay. Thank you. Bye.
35 boys have not eaten.
Can you explain that?
Yes. It takes a long time on my own.
Yes of course.
But serving plate by plate, even
though Gusgus likes
it, is not necessary.
Wait a second. That's just the way I am.
I do things right. Okay?
Teenagers just want to eat a lot.
The presentation...
Don't migrants have
the right to good food?
I did not say that.
I just can't prepare
70 meals on time.
If you need help, ask the
guys. They like nothing better.
Because migrants can only play football?
Is that it?
Then we agree.
They must be free at 2 p.m.
So respect the timetable.
That's a golden house rule here.
I choose my suppliers.
Listen, I have 8 euros per child per day.
If you stick to that, you do...
You're the boss.
You're the chief, aren't you?
Yes. - Do what you want.
I don't have time for this.
I'm not her sidekick.
She begs me for help.
I am an actress.
PREPARATION
COOK
STORAGE (BUTTER, EGGS...)
Keep the herbs and vegetables separate.
You just asked for some help.
And now I'm your delivery man.
I have better things to do.
Name one actress who
hasn't had shitty jobs.
There are not any.
Not a single one.
But you're on Julia Roberts' highway.
Because lugging
all those crates gives
you energy, feeds
you, gives you strength,
makes you stronger.
Don't you feel that?
If you ever get a delivery
driver role, you'll be prepared.
Thanks to whom? Thanks to me.
Thank you Cathy Marie.
Julia Roberts sold pizza
and shoes for Pretty Woman.
She drives me crazy.
Am I interrupting? - No.
I want to ask you a favor.
I need three commis.
We are here.
Cathy.
Wait a second.
What do we start with?
How many are they?
I told you they're motivated.
I had said three commis.
Cut the carrots and
zucchini into julienne.
There are cutting boards, the knives
are there and the peelers are here.
What is a peeler?
- To peel vegetables.
What does "julian" mean?
It's like gusgusienne,
or mamadouienne,
yadafienne, cathytienne...
Stay away from the leek.
And of that too.
Everyone from my kitchen.
Outwards. Get out.
out of my kitchen.
Put that down.
That and that.
I need a minute. I can not...
This requires planning.
- Naturally.
Or it's chaos. - We come back.
This is not the intention.
Julienne is a way
of cutting vegetables.
I don't know either.
We look at the website The Cook.
Is there a problem?
- That is nothing. Chefs flip out sometimes
if they work in the top
of the French kitchen.
The flipping chef asks
you to take off your hat.
Sabine, they know nothing about cooking.
Indeed.
We'll start with the basics.
That's gonna be great.
Believe me.
SHALLOTS TESI need commis to
help me in the kitchen.
A commis is the chief's assistant.
Precisely.
There are shallots for you.
I want you to peel them
and cut them very finely.
Three, two, one, go.
Madam? Can you show it off?
I do not know how to do it.
Just start. - I'm done, ma'am.
This is exactly what I don't want.
I can't make sauce with this.
And I didn't ask for this.
That's how I do it.
Good. But then you can go.
In my country, men don't cook.
You address me as "chief".
I don't have a chief.
- Also fine. You can go.
Look at me.
Nobody gives me orders.
- Take a deep breath and sit down.
If you don't take orders
from a woman, leave.
There are basic rules.
Not agreed? There's the door.
- Oh yeah?
I'm not forcing anyone.
- Then what is this?
Not very. We go on.
Not bad. Put the peels in here.
Just to be clear... Listen up.
In my kitchen there is no religion,
men, women, sexuality
and certainly no misogyny.
Is that clear? - Yes.
Yes who? - Yes, chief.
Well done. - Madam?
The onions make my eyes water.
They are shallots.
That's too big.
Very small, very small.
Where are the shells? - Here.
That's for the sauce.
- Very well.
Chief?
That's great. Bravo, Gusgus.
If the tests are done,
will I be selected?
You have to work for that first.
Forward.
The mall there cost millions,
and the kids are there.
They just have to cross.
Simple, right?
And we still have beds available.
Let me do the talking.
They're right there.
Everything fine?
Everything fine? - Hey.
This is Lorenzo.
Hey.
He runs the home I spoke of.
Do you remember?
Give them the visitor cards.
In the home there is a
video room and table football.
Wi-Fi? Internet?
Yes, we have internet.
You can use Facebook
and Instagram until 10 p.m.
You can call us day and night.
You can drink, eat, study.
I will introduce you to people
who can take care of your papers.
Our papers!
He doesn't get it.
It would be good if they come.
What is he doing here?
Djibril, stand up, please.
Forward.
- How did you get here?
How did you get that cap?
Get out of the car. Get out.
I ask again.
How did you get this cap?
And this?
How do you get here?
Djibril?
We promised.
And you promised to Lorenzo.
What are you doing here?
I'm listening.
Cathy. - Yes?
If you have time, I
want to talk to you.
Yes.
But quickly. I have a lot of work.
Sit down. - What is it?
I have to say something.
Sit down.
It's very difficult for us
bonding with the boys.
They have been exploited by adults.
Gaining their trust takes time.
And we don't have that.
If we don't enroll them in school,
they will be expelled when they turn 18.
If they do stupid things
because a cook kicked them out,
that is the same.
- Hold on, if you mean...
Let me finish.
I realize well enough that
you're not going to stay here.
But while you're here,
please don't break the bond
that we have with them.
If a child wants to help in the
kitchen, don't send him away.
Is that clear?
Is that clear?
Yes.
Good.
Like it or not, you are like us.
It is also your job to watch them.
The ball is for Moussa Mariga.
The ball is released
again by Somali Dialo...
That's a penalty.
That looks good, chief.
What is it?
Linguini with seasonal vegetables.
Cathy. Stay here.
Sit down.
Next to Djibril, the football connoisseur.
He will explain.
Come on, Cathy.
Djibril.
She's standing next to you. Explain it.
Come on, Djibril.
She listens. Explain it to her.
Don't embarrass me.
Those are...
African countries playing.
Mali against Mauritania.
Do you play soccer?
Since I'm little.
My dream is to sign
a promise contract
at a club.
What is that?
A contract to become a professional football player.
Like Cristiano Ronaldo.
Have you already been to a match?
- No not yet.
If I have money, I will go.
Ever.
Very tasty.
Sorry.
This is very nice, chief.
Cooking starts with good products.
Today we are going to collect
leeks, cabbages and stuff.
Always the same method.
We take the vegetables
out of the ground and
clean them. We take
off the sand. Understood?
I'll show it first.
Well done.
There's another next to it.
The landmarks are
the small leaves.
Use your hands or you'll break them.
This smells very strong.
Here.
Do you want to taste?
Or rather smell.
Everyone has seen that.
Chirac, Zidane...
They fought over it.
Broadcast during the World Cup.
- Excuse me, what are you doing?
Fatou talked about her acting career.
Okay. Before Scorsese
calls, could you help us first?
Because we're on our own there.
Awesome. Thank you.
What's your name? - Mamadou.
The crate is full.
Take him there.
This is the map of
the cheeses of France.
Which cheeses do you know?
- Camembert only.
A good start.
Where is the camembert?
There. - No. That's gruyere.
What does roquefort look like?
Roquefort contains blue pieces.
That's mold, but good mold.
With a strong taste.
It's a veined cheese.
The tail, the head.
Watch your fingers.
Look.
Okay?
BASTE, HERBS
That's how I want it.
What are you doing?
- Trimming the meat.
Trimming the meat means
removing the inedible pieces.
How long is it in the oven?
That's called searing the meat.
- Sear the meat.
Keep your carrot like that.
So he can run.
From the top down.
Like a dancer.
There you go. Understood?
It rhymes with buttocks. Dill.
Basil smells good. Smell.
Tasty radishes. - Is not it.
Well done.
A white cabbage? - Yes.
Look how beautiful. Look.
Beautiful right?
Jerusalem artichokes. - Look.
White cabbage.
What do we fillet?
Fish.
Gusgus, how are the dishes?
- Difficult, chief.
Never set a table before?
- No, chief.
Come on, Jibril.
Sell me your veal tataki.
Dear Cathy, dear Sabine...
- Watch out, or you'll drop your plate.
Hello ladies, this is...
a Japanese dish?
Again.
You don't know what you're selling.
Veal carpaccio with grapefruit.
The meat is...
Do not move. Stand up straight.
This is our dish.
Tatapi made of beef. Tatati.
It is veal from Aveyron and
Sgala grown on Japanese pastures.
The intersection of earth and
sea is a delight for the tongue.
I didn't understand it.
The roots smell super good.
I invite you to taste.
You apologize.
You act like this.
They are French ingredients.
I hope it will taste.
flavors.
I advise you to taste this dish.
You're going to enjoy it.
There you go.
Prepared in its broth,
with its own meat broth,
very tender and...
served with a selection
of baby vegetables.
I feel like tasting it.
We want to eat that tataki.
- Sure.
And Cooking in one-two-three?
- Yes, take it.
Swann's side
I don't mean to be rude, but
is Cathy Marie your real name?
Many stars have a pseudonym.
Claude Franois, for example.
That's a pseudonym.
So I was wondering if Cathy Marie...
Cathy was the midwife
who gave birth to me, and
Marie was the teacher
who taught me how to cook.
She raised me.
In a home?
Yes.
Did you never know your parents?
No.
But that's okay.
I left when I was 16
started in a restaurant, where
I was also allowed to stay.
Washing dishes during the day,
secretly making my own dishes at night.
The chef tasted one
and hired me as a help.
That's how it started.
I wanted to be an archaeologist.
But my father said I couldn't.
"You can never do that, poor sheep."
Nevertheless...
I travel. I'm watching Blue
Planet, Discovery Channel...
and I left.
I'm not really brave.
Do not say that.
That's not true.
What you're doing in
the home is very brave.
I mean it.
That's very brave.
Come on, let's cook. - Come on.
VOCATIONAL TRAINING
Antoine Griezmann was a sensation.
The striker of Les Bleus kicked
a beautiful penalty in the
match against Bulgaria.
The French striker has proven
himself to be one of the best attackers.
Les Bleus' next match
is against Germany...
Good morning, chief.
Excellent.
Bye, chief.
Can I keep my earring?
Yes. - Thank you.
Very well. Very neat.
- Thank you, chief.
Good morning, chief.
- Your hands? Perfect.
What's that here?
That is cool.
- Not true. That's dirty.
Go wash them.
With soap. And scrub well.
Good. Today
as a first dish we
make a leg of veal
with carrot puree,
served on a plate.
I need three chefs de partie.
First chef de part.
Baking and roasting.
Mamadou.
You will be the
Griezmann of the roasters.
Griezmann is my favorite player.
It's the chef who decides.
- But I love Griezmann.
Second chef de partie: garnish.
Djibril. You'll be peeling
carrots, chopping herbs...
That is the role of a striker.
You will be assisted by two
commis: Mohamat and Irakli.
Third chef de partie: sauces.
Important.
Alpha.
Accuracy, Alpha.
- I make the best sauce in the world.
Perfect. The defense...
Boubacar, Sai and Yadaf.
You do the service.
Your job is to set the tables.
I want a nice attitude.
You are the first contact.
Smiling, attentive.
And finally,
a team is not complete
without a goalkeeper.
And the person I
chose is exceptional.
Gusgus. That job is for you.
Dishwasher. Very important.
You have to intercept, sort,
clean all kitchen utensils. Okay?
- Yes, chief.
Today we are a team.
We're forming a brigade.
I'm counting on you.
Is that clear? - Yes, chief.
Is that clear? - Yes, chief.
Everything okay, Sayed?
Ladies and gentlemen...
Leg of veal from Aveyron and Segala...
Ladies and gentlemen,
we have a leg of veal
from Aveyron and Sgala
with rosemary, served
with carrot puree.
You can go now.
Back to the kitchen to dress up.
Yes, chief.
Service.
Sauces. Ready, Alpha?
Follow me.
Forward.
That's it, neat.
Small portions, not too big.
Which is good.
Perfect.
Service.
Come on guys. pace.
Good...
There is still a lot of work to do.
It was a simple dish.
And we can do much better.
But for a first time...
you weren't bad.
Do you know why, chief? - No.
Because we're the...
- Best.
Because we're a...
- Brigade.
Because we're the...
- Best.
Because I'm the...
- Mascot.
No time to relax.
Brigade, brigade, brigade.
Go ahead. - It's calling.
On Thursday she is
away for the recordings.
You've said that ten times already.
It's the day of the recordings.
Understood?
Hello, Lyna Deletto.
- It's Lyna Deletto.
Naturally. It's her restaurant.
Forward.
Hello, I want to reserve a table
for Thursday evening.
Then we are fully booked.
- Curd.
Ask for the following Thursday.
I explain the situation.
I'm Kim Kardashian's agent.
I have to throw a
surprise party for her
birthday and David
Letterman just agreed.
I don't get excited.
If you can't help, don't mind.
I'm calling Fouquet's.
They will receive us with pleasure.
I'm sure of it.
I don't thank you. Bye.
I'll see what I can do.
Stay on the line.
We found another table for you.
I won't be there on Thursday.
- That's okay.
They don't blame you.
- How many people?
Ten people. - Twenty, ma'am.
No. - Listed.
Very well. Till Thursday.
Thank you. Bye.
How many fingers?
I see 10. But for Kim's
birthday, there are 20 of us.
Otherwise it's ridiculous.
I'm going to eat at Lyna
Deletto's restaurant.
What a stupid person.
5 minus x is...
How much is x?
Good...
There you go.
5 grams
flower
minus x is
3 grams of flour.
What is the value of x?
Two grams. - Very well.
Now that you understand this,
let me make it a little more difficult.
1 roll of puff pastry.
How much for 3 quiches?
Three.
- Now even more difficult.
150 grams bacon strips.
For three quiches?
I heard it everywhere.
Especially in the back.
I'm coming.
Sorry to bother you, chief.
My mother wants to see you.
She insists.
I didn't want to disturb you.
Hey. - Hello, ma'am.
Are you my son's boss?
Yes. - I wanted to talk to you
to thank you for everything
you do for my son.
I don't do much.
Yes, you really do a lot.
You make him a great chef, don't you?
He certainly has it in him.
It's nice talking to you.
- Shall I give Mamadou back?
Yes, but did he say
anything about our spices?
We have excellent spices here.
Did he say that?
- No, but he will.
I'll give Mamadou back.
- Thank you.
Thank you. Do you
now believe she exists?
Naturally.
That wasn't hard, was it?
How are you doing? - Good.
But I have to hang
up, I'm in her room.
I'll go and call you back.
Who are you leaving with?
Out, I mean.
Where are you going?
- To my room, to call you.
Have a talk with your mother.
I miss you so much, boy.
I know, but I have to go now.
- Then go.
Bye. Kiss. - Kiss.
She is always worried.
That is normal.
- I won't delay you any longer.
I'm going.
Thank you. - Thank you, chief.
Thank you, chief.
- Don't relax.
Chief?
I like you.
Do I close the door?
Hey.
Hi, Anne-Marie.
Professional chef training
Organize vocational training
It's ambitious.
Something like this takes a long time.
But if you succeed, you
immediately have 20 registrations.
Thank you.
Would you like to go for a drink?
Yes.
Thank you.
That looks chic.
One thing...
- Yes, sir?
The bill is mine. - Naturally.
Thank you.
I expected David Letterman to be bigger.
Great.
Ladies and gentlemen,
beet organ with honey vinaigrette
and hibiscus powder, signature Cathy.
Have you worked here? - Yes.
Enjoy your meal.
Do you know "Proust's madeleine"?
No.
It's a taste or smell that
brings back memories.
And my madeleine from Proust
is the dish you are going to eat now.
Do you like it? - Yes.
Real? - Yes.
It is important to me that
I can share this with you.
It's part of me.
CHILDREN'S HOME
There you go.
That's a chiogga beet.
Very well.
Now we are using a cookie cutter.
The first part of the organ.
You are a natural.
I am Yadaf.
I am from Ethiopia.
I was a student in Ethiopia.
I took a preparatory
course for university.
It was not my choice
to leave my country.
My father was an
important trader.
He went on a journey
and never came back.
My father lived
with his second wife.
He gave me to someone
a man who smuggled
people into Europe.
They sent us to
underground houses.
They've taken everything.
I was 16.
I have been in Morocco
for almost 3 months.
After Morocco came...
Pakistan, Iran, Turkey,
Greece, Serbia, Croatia,
Austria and then Belgium.
- I'm from the Congo.
I am 10 years old. My
dream is to succeed in my life.
I am from Bangladesh.
I came through India.
That was a year ago.
I left alone. I was 14.
I came to France
to help my brother.
I want to find a job, earn
money and send it to him.
I had hoped to work
in a hospital in France.
My dream is...
go home, see my mother's face
and show her that I'm someone.
And that she is proud of me.
This is a dish from my country.
It's called injera.
My mother used to make this dish
every day before
I went to school.
I really want to feel that I am
with my grandmother and mother.
I'm going to prepare that.
I present you a dish today
called maf chicken.
It's the sauce
that my mother taught me.
My first sauce.
I have often prepared it with her.
I miss her immensely.
I miss her.
Come on, Jibril.
Come on, Jibril.
Benjamin.
Come on, Jibril.
- Come on, Reda.
Arthur, come here.
Bye, Arthur.
You play well.
Which club do you play for?
Bethune Stade.
- I want to talk to you after the match.
Yes, Jibril. Yes.
Yes.
Do amateurs score goals? - No.
I didn't think so either.
So you are not an amateur.
That guy is clueless.
An amateur.
Scoring is what counts. Don't let
anyone tell you you're an amateur.
You scored the only goal.
You had to be selected.
If you ever play for Man
United, send that idiot a ticket.
We have tickets for the final.
Djibril, you can hand out the cup.
He wants a promise contract.
- Thank you, Cathy. I know that.
But you didn't say anything.
You were nodding a bit.
I don't take it that
you doubt my work.
Do not tell me what to do.
Especially not with a teenager
who can use it against me.
When I have
something to say, I say it.
And you should too.
You should have told
us not to have his cup.
Djibril doesn't want him either.
You should have said that.
You have no ambition.
Are you ready?
I'm trying to organize a
professional chef training here.
I was going to tell you on occasion.
That is my ambition for them.
Keep them here in France.
Imagine...
COURT OF BETHUNE
HOUSE LA ROPTIERE
...claims to be an
unaccompanied minor...
...medical researches...
They doubt the
authenticity of their papers
and want to determine their
age through x-rays of their bones.
If the law doctor
thinks they are over
18, they will be
convicted and deported.
Have a lot on your plate
means having lots of things to do.
Sitting with the baked pears
means to pay for something.
Hunger is the best sauce
means when you are
hungry you like everything.
Capping your own beans,
Take care of yourself.
I'm raising the table now.
Bone age
Between 18 and 22 years old...
According to the test
results that just came in
are you over 18.
My family counts on me.
My mother also counts on me.
I did not think...
that it would be
so hard to live here.
I thought...
that everything was here.
I'm sorry, Jibril.
I can't do anything anymore.
Gugus, there will be a
podium for the winning team.
We'll put the cup on the pedestal, okay?
Michel, we're using the music
you played at the retirement home.
But be on time.
Gugus, do you understand?
Do you understand?
He does not understand.
Can you picture it?
Journalists, local
representatives,
important people...
- Don't treat him like an idiot.
I get it, the day you
hand out the national cup,
did you save the planet.
Do you know what?
He's the one who deserves a cup.
And his name is not Gugus.
His name is Gusgus.
Ever heard of Cinderella?
Of course.
Know your classics.
Sabine, let's go.
I am coming.
come. - The national cup.
What is that?
Hey. What's your name?
First name? - Pierre.
Have you ever participated?
- No never.
Your address?
You may go there. - Thank you.
Cathy?
It's there. Follow me.
Here.
Participating in The Cook is the opportunity
of a lifetime. And I want to grab it.
Cathy Marie is a born fighter.
She grew up in a home
and worked his way up
in the kitchen on his own.
Ever since she was little, she
has dreamed of becoming a chef.
Only 3 of the 12 remain.
Today Cathy, Enzo and Alexis are taking
compete against each other
in the final elimination stage.
Only 2 participants
have a chance of a place
in the grand final
and at 50,000 euros.
Welcome to The Cook,
the sous chefs.
Three two one,
Start.
I'm making ceviche from langoustines
with lots of spices and fresh flavours.
I combine it with the fennel.
That looks good.
Do you marinate the turnips?
- Indeed.
I'm going to make a coulis...
Isn't that too common
for a semi-final?
Isn't that too common
for a semi-final?
I am an ordinary girl.
That's how people want their turnips.
Dear participants,
5 more minutes.
Think about dressing.
One more to go, chief.
- Not too much lemon.
Wipe the board. - Yes, chief.
Mackerel in the garden. What do you think?
That will be the name of the dish.
Four three,
two one...
hands in the air.
Follow the rules.
Take a step back.
Thank you.
We are in the main shopping street
looking for Cathy
Marie's pop-up restaurant.
You can see how focused she is.
Logical, because there
is 50,000 euros at stake.
Cathy, first impression?
It's perfect.
And? - It's perfect.
Enzo, you chose Arno
as commissioner.
Cathy, you focus on the decoration.
Yes. - And you chose Fatou,
an interior architect.
Welcome, Fatou.
Careful on the cobblestones.
You look very elegant.
You may stand to the right of Cathy.
Thank you Fatu. - What is this?
Nice is not it.
- This is too much.
Not true. - It is too much.
I look beautiful.
We discover the restaurants.
Dear viewers,
I'd love to see you back
at 9:00 PM for The Cook.
They broadcast serials first.
I like Expedition Robinson.
- Isn't that a staged game?
No.
Don't forget we're going
live with The Cook at 9pm.
Who are we waiting for?
- Michael. Michael.
Thank you. Thank you.
Hey.
I have a delivery for
Cathy Marie's restaurant.
The name of the company?
Fatoo Design.
- The decoration is there. Fatoo Design.
Will you check?
Okay, that's fine. - Thank you.
Let them through.
Camera A: Luc.
Camera B: Jean-Jacques.
Camera C: David, camera
E: Antoine, camera D: Seb.
You're not done yet.
One more table to go.
Okay. - Go, go, go.
Hot.
Get the scallops ready, give it
a quick sweep and you're done.
Okay, chief.
- We're going for it.
Live in 10 seconds.
Nine, eight, seven...
Focus, everyone.
...five, four, three,
two one. Opening generic.
Luc, exterior shot, please.
Is the audience ready?
The camera to me.
We hear a lot of gossip about him.
A picture of the customers now.
We have started.
We're live here tonight
with some special guests
hiding behind that door.
Just like us, they
are eager to discover
the restaurants.
Welcome to The Cook.
Over to Enzo. David, with you.
Okay, perfect.
Seb, another frame, please.
Welcome to The Cook.
Welcome everyone.
There are a lot of fans of yours tonight.
Very nice to receive you.
Good evening. Welcome.
You will have a top evening.
Gilthead bream ceviche...
Good evening.
Welcome to Enzo Enzo.
Shall I take your coat?
What about Cathy Marie?
Who is that?
- A mother with her son.
Micka, go to Cathy Marie.
Enzo is a boring bunch.
I need interesting images.
Patou, I'll be with Cathy in 2 minutes.
Calm down.
What is it? Open the door.
The door is locked.
- Locked? How so?
Tom, Cathy's door is locked.
Can you help?
We'll be there in a minute.
Kevin and me.
Do you have the drill? - Yes.
What are they doing to me?
We're going live.
- Live in five, four...
- Come on.
Smile, Micah.
Smile, please.
We're live here.
Let's go to our second
candidate, Cathy Marie.
I think our favorite
chef is hard at work.
I can even hear some noise.
So Cathy...
Cathy, it's Michael.
This is wrong, Patou.
She locked herself in.
The best moments...
- Cathy's best moments.
Dear viewers,
while you wait, let's
recap the best
moments of Cathy Marie.
Turns.
Hold on, Patou,
something isn't right here.
Take it easy.
- Why did she lock herself up?
She locked herself in.
Do you know this woman?
Have you checked her?
- Of course we checked her.
Did we check her? - Not really.
It is well. Everything is fine.
What now, Patou?
Broadcast the sponsors? - Yes.
Shit. Hurry up, guys.
To the sponsors.
Sponsors in two, one...
On antenna.
I think we have some time
to mention our sponsors.
Those are Terra Delyssa olive
oil and Lagostina kitchenware.
You need to give me some space.
Take it easy. Or
people think you're crazy.
There is nothing to see next to it.
Enzo is a boring bunch.
- It's okay.
Come on, away, away, away.
We're going to improvise.
- Go in now.
...three two one...
We are finally here in front
of Cathy Marie's restaurant.
We managed to open the door.
We can't wait to see the inside.
Go on, Sylvie, go on in.
Go inside.
Your son follows you in.

Damn.
Patou, I'm not going in here.
This is the work of a psychopath.
What does this mean?
Cathy, are you here?
No no...
Take a seat. Sit down.
Cathy, are you here?
We're broadcasting live
from Cathy Marie's restaurant.
You can see that the
decor is very special.
We have no idea what
awaits us in the kitchen.
Cathy?
Are you there?
It's Michael.
What is all this?
Hey. Welcome to Cathy Marie.
Who the hell is that?
We are now in the kitchen.
And we are a bit surprised...
What's all that?
There are a dozen
commis at work.
Ask them where Cathy is.
I'm going back to Enzo.
Where is Cathy Marie?
- Good evening.
I just want to...
Gentlemen, please
don't complicate things.
I'll come back to you, Micka.
Enzo's is a disaster.
We stay with you.
Find Cathy Marie.
While we wait for
Cathy, introduce yourself.
I am Mamadou. I
want to become a
chef and follow
Cathy Marie's training.
Excellent.
Good luck with the exams.
If the training does not
come, we will be expelled.
Those are migrants.
And we're live.
This is an unprecedented situation.
I want to work as a chef in France.
You want to work as a cook.
But are you here legally?
No not yet.
Are any of you legal here?
- No.
I'm screwed.
- Welcome to Cathy Marie.
I propose the buf
bourguignon Mamadou style.
A combination of Aveyron and Guinea.
Enjoy the taste journey
with this starter according
to our slow cooking process.

saka saka by Gusgus?
And 2 saka saka, please.
The beef.
Service.
I am Fatou, single and 30 years old.
I did a commercial for Biovidis.
I don't know who that is.
It is always repeated.
What does it matter?
Live, live, live.
This is an unforgettable
television moment,
live at The Cook tonight.
We go back to the kitchen,
where the young people are at work...
Bye, TV. I'm Alpha
Barry from Ivory Coast.
If anyone is watching right now
who can help Cathy
Marie organize the course...
I want to thank Cathy Marie.
She taught me a lot.
I am motivated, friendly,
punctual, respectful.
We need such young people.
They have ambition
energy and are eager to learn.
Look who's standing here with
me, a huge fan of Cathy Marie.
Good evening.
Madam.
You are live.
She has my microphone.
Boubacar moved me, and
I'm looking for someone.
Sorry, I have a second call.
I'll call you right back.
Hello, I have two places
available for training in Treignac.
My big dream is...
to open a restaurant in Paris.
Even if that is difficult.
I'd like to be called
"Chef" for one day.
How cool would it be if
people said "Yes, Chief".
That is my dream. I must dream.

Bye everyone.
There are shallots for you.
I want you to peel them

And from today

you to do something,
you answer "Yes,
Chief", nothing else.
Is that clear?
Yes, chief.
