The discovery of a culinary gem in the family attic
Imagine a moment spent in a dusty old attic, rummaging through piles of ancient books. This is exactly what happened to Bastien Gaston, a young resident of Ariège, when he explored the attic of his family home with his mother. Amid many outdated works, Bastien stumbled upon a real treasure: a recipe book dated 1934 belonging to his great-grandmother. Inside, a recipe for garbure, a traditional soup from the Southwest of France, handwritten and perfectly preserved.
A publication that sparked unexpected enthusiasm
Bastien, known as “Le Guide du Roublard” on social media, decided to share a photo of this ancestral recipe. The result? An unexpected media buzz. Since its publication, Bastien has been approached by numerous media outlets and enjoys telling the story of this discovery. His appearance on BFM’s morning show particularly left an impression, solidifying his presence as a culinary reference on Instagram.
Honoring a family tradition
More than just a recipe, this garbure represents a connection to the past and a tribute to “grandma Jeanne,” as Bastien affectionately calls her. The pride felt by his family and the interest generated among the public highlight the importance of preserving and sharing culinary heritage. Indeed, in his community, many people talk to him about this famous recipe when he is shopping.
Professional impact and future projects
The effect of this publication extends beyond Bastien’s personal interest in family history; it also has a significant impact on his career. The number of followers on his social media has greatly increased, even outside of his native region of Occitanie. Moreover, this media attention enhances the credibility of his other video publications, often focused on other gourmet culinary delights. Bastien plans to create a video where he will prepare grandma Jeanne’s garbure, possibly accompanied by a chef, and promises to unveil other ancestral recipes in the future.
Through this culinary and media adventure, Bastien Gaston reaffirms the importance of valuing the riches of culinary heritage while forging strong intergenerational bonds through recipes passed down from generation to generation.
