Trish’s Paris Kitchen

Only Free TV rights

Belfast born Chef Trish Deseine brings us an inspirational and appetite-whetting journey into the way the French cook, eat and live. Trish first went to Paris twenty years ago from her native Belfast and quickly discovered that food, eating and cooking are deeply infused into the French psyche. Put simply, she fell in love with French food, French style and the French capital.  In these programmes she will let you in on that love affair and show you how to take a leaf out of her adopted Frenchwoman's life so you will be able to cook with confidence and style.

Along the way she takes us around her favourite markets to meet the locals, look for tips and indulge in some serious shopping. Then it's back to her elegant apartment kitchen, where with no fuss or formality, she rustles up some classic French recipes.

Throughout the show, we will see how exactly one handles French delicacies such as oysters in a champagne sabayon, moules mariniès or coq au vin. We explore the institution at the heart of any French town, the bistro, and meet first hand some of the movers and shakers in the world of French cuisine.
