(Blogger/author Clotilde Dusoulier, pastry chef Sadaharu Aoki, cameraman Eric Shirai, and producer Travis Shakespeare)
The highly anticipated Gourmet's Diary of a Foodie's France episode premieres this week! Find your local listing here. And watch the preview here.
"France: The New Guarde" features Sada at his salon de thé and laboratoire in the 5th arrondissement of Paris with Clotilde; Inaki Aizpitarte at Le Chateaubriand with Sébastien Demorand; Gilles Choukroun and Omnivore founder Luc Dubanchet at Le Mini Palais with yours truly; Armand Arnal at La Chassagnette in the wild countryside of Arles with me again; and Zanne Stewart in the top secret, inner sanctum Gourmet test kitchen working with Silpat.
And watch for the series premiere on National Geographic worldwide soon!


Thanks! I'm not much of a TV watcher so I missed the earlier one with David and Pim, but I'm going to try to watch this one for sure.

Hi !
Is there any chance to watch this from France on the web ? or do we need to wait the subtitled version on cuisine TV ?
It would be nice to have an idea of what the "frenchies-trendy chefs" look like from the overseas...

Christelle - you'll be able to watch it online next season, but it should be on NatGeo in France before then - or I'll bring you a copy next time I see you in Paris! But when will you have time to watch anything with your restaurant?!

Kalyn - it looks like your local PBS station in Salt Lake City is currently airing Season 1 - but I'm in the next episode! Watch me next Saturday at 1:31 p.m. when I visit the cheese affineuse Marie-Anne Cantin in Paris.

Too bad here in France, this program is not broadcast ... you met "la crème de la crème"

Michelle - don't we all!
Babeth - the show should air in France later this year on Nat Geo. Otherwise you'll be able to watch full episodes online next season. And thanks!
