THE WOMAN WHO HELD THE STARS
Documentary Film
"This exceptional woman taught all of us about flavor and gave us a taste for hard work and work well done, There would have been no success for any of us without her."
​
- Chef Paul Bocuse
The first episode in a three-part series about female chefs, The Woman Who Held the Stars delves into the extraordinary life of Eugénie Brazier, the first chef in history to earn six Michelin stars simultaneously. This intimate portrait traces her journey from humble beginnings in rural France to becoming a culinary legend in Lyon and beyond. Through rare archival footage and personal stories from her granddaughter, Jacotte Brazier, the episode also honors the legacy of "Les Mères Lyonnaises," the pioneering women who revolutionized French cuisine. Renowned chefs from France and around the world pay tribute to Brazier's influence by recreating her iconic dishes and sharing how her groundbreaking career continues to inspire kitchens today.
