Les Saveurs du Palais is a 2012 French comedy-drama film based on the true story of Danièle Mazet-Delpeuch and how she was appointed as the private chef for François Mitterrand.

Hortense Laborie, a renowned chef from Périgord, is astonished when the President of the Republic appoints her as his personal chef, responsible for creating all his meals at the Élysée Palace. Despite jealous resentment from the other kitchen staff, Hortense quickly establishes herself, thanks to her indomitable spirit. The authenticity of her cooking soon seduces the President, but the corridors of power are littered with traps.  The story is framed by Laborie’s later role cooking at a French Antarctic research station.
