French chef Guillaume Brahimi returns to the city that made his reputation and follows the story of food in the city – the place that gave us the first restaurant, the greatest chefs of history, and some of the world’s greatest dishes.
This week, Guillaume Brahimi visits Nature Urbaine, the largest rooftop garden in Europe, and uses some of their fresh produce to make a healthy spring salad.
To finish his journey, Guillaume goes shopping at Hugo Desnoyer, one of the best butchers in Paris.
Across this series, Guillaume takes us to the secret local haunts of all its 20 arrondissements and shows how Paris food culture is changing. No longer do the rest of the world follow the exact recipes of the great Paris chefs.
Today Paris food culture celebrates bistronomy, which is about eating tasty, evocative food but not necessarily in three star Michelin restaurants. Great food is now for everyone, and the Paris food scene is being reborn.
