Eva Longoria: Searching for France

A devoted Francophile whose career has taken her to France countless times, Longoria now goes deeper, savoring the traditions, innovations and regional flavors that have defined French cuisine for centuries. Along the way she uncovers the history that shaped it, from royal courts and monastic vineyards to the regional communities that turned local ingredients into enduring culinary traditions. This season, Longoria samples fresh oysters in Paris, flavorsome bouillabaisse in Provence, and fluffy frog legs mousseline in Alsace. She tastes her way through braised boeuf bourguignon in Burgundy, buttery blue lobster in Brittany and beefy Bordelaise sauce in Bordeaux. In two special episodes, she returns to Paris - first to immerse herself in the Parisian art of pâtisserie, and then to indulge in an extraordinary meal along the River Seine that traces how French cuisine conquered the world in seven dishes.
