French Television

Can one find the Iron Chef show French style on TV in France?

Can one find French cooking Network that teaches French cooking on TV (Cable?).

I haven%26#39;t really searched for %26quot;The Iron Chef%26quot; but I don%26#39;t think they have it on French cable. Maybe.

In Paris, cable channel 68, Cuisine TV, has some American food shows. At the moment I am typing this, %26quot;Le Restaurant%26quot;, a {dubbed} American kitchen-reality show is on. They do have cooking how-to shows on Cuisine TV and some of the regular French channels in the mornings.

Thank you so much Metromole! I love the web site and I signed up for the newsletter. I will remember channel 68 and make notation of it.

Cooking shows in French are ok also. I usually buy many %26quot;French Language %26quot; regional cookbooks (old and new) when I am in France.

I also like to buy old Alsacian embrodery design books old, used or new. I did find some at the bookstores in 5Er!

Any suggestions as where to look?

The major flea markets did not have any last time I went. Shakespear and company was no help at the time.

For food stuff, I don%26#39;t know of any flea markets. The FRENCH cook books are still over our heads. We still work from old Julia Childs cook books in English.

I%26#39;m a %26quot;foodie%26quot; and tend to dwell excessively on the recipe shows. I%26#39;ve been away from the US cable TV offerings for a few years but I (at least) know who the Iron Chef is...

I don%26#39;t know the first thing about embrodery but I have a confession to make. When I turned on the TV today to answer your question, I instantly got caught-up in a show about how to make a freakishly evil dessert, %26quot;poires belle helene%26quot; which nearly stopped my heart. Poached pears and sauce-chocolat.... Oh my god.

I%26#39;ve TIVO%26#39;d every show for the next four hours. The French cooking shows are awesome. I still haven%26#39;t stopped the recorder.

Look what you%26#39;ve done! I%26#39;m ruined!

Metro, I%26#39;ll send you your cooking assignment for the soirée--perhaps Poires Belle Helène for 20??!! (just kidding)

|||

Geeeze. I%26#39;m not worthy of a cooking assignment. Can I please be in charge of the %26#39;after dinner mint%26quot; responsibilities without liability for the general health of the other atendees? i am almost capable of getting that right.

%26quot;after dinner mint%26quot; is not... very French lol.

How about a good dark chocolate, 80% cacao?

|||

Ces trucs a a la menthe genre %26quot;After 8%26quot; sont degueulasse!

I love picking whole mint leaves and dipping them into that great melted French chocolate! Soooooo Gooood!
