Today, our decorating enthusiast is Pierre. At the age of 43, this native of Spad, and father of three, has already led several lives. Pierre may have won several medals in his sporting career already, but it's the top spot on the decorating aces podium that he'll be aiming for this week. His trump card for the competition? His artistic flair.
Summer is the season when vegetables abound in the garden, but it would be a shame not to savor those that the cooler seasons have to offer: soups, pies, stews or gratins highlight seasonal vegetables, perfect for a nice warm up. To begin this new journey, Julie will cook salsify. This little tour of France will also allow us to meet gardening goldsmiths who sculpt winter vegetables and fruits. Finally, we will conclude as usual with a recipe from a chef, who will go out of his way to create a seasonal recipe for us.
Let's hit the roads of France to discover shellfish. We'll visit Brittany, then the Normandy coast where fishing is the regional sport, and Corsica, where the far northeast of the island lives to the rhythm of lobster. Julie takes us to cook lobster, crab with a very special recipe, and langoustines.
Honey was the first sweet condiment in history! It has also been known and consumed as a remedy since Antiquity. In France, we find an infinite variety of honey: acacia, chestnut, fir, rosemary, orange, spruce, oak, linden or lavender... We'll cross forests, fields and even towns, as bees also forage in urbanized areas. We'll then cook up emblematic recipes like Vercel gingerbread. Finally, we'll discover the European dark bee. Protecting this 80-million-year-old bee has become the spearhead of some passionate beekeepers.
Julie takes us to the southern Brittany and more precisely the maritime district of Guilvinec to follow the fish route from the nets to your plate. Le Guilvinec may be the first French artisanal fishing port, but all the seashores of France have good seasonal products. Julie drives up to the south to discover several farmed fish in an aquaculture farm in the Mediterranean, while cooking sea bass in Noirmoutier, monkfish in the north and even cod in the huge market at Rungis. Julie challenged Chef Olivier Bellin, who lives in Plomodiern in Finistère, to cook a little-known fish: the wrasse.
Coconut milk is easy to cook, and can be used with a wide range of ingredients, from stews and soups to sweet recipes.

Through the most magnificent images and amazing human stories, Man is at the heart of the biodiversity that he must respect and preserve. We go to China in the province of Yunan, where a plant with exceptional virtues against malaria has been discovered. Then we travel to Africa, where man's intervention in the ecosystem of Lake Victoria has triggered a considerable imbalance. We will also explore to Greenland to meet the polar bears, the first victims of the melting ice.
Animals represent 2/3 of the species on earth. We are increasingly concerned about our impact on the world. But what place does man have for the wild animal? Discover how it is possible to reintroduce wild animals in South Africa, or the disaster that took place with the sea lions in Namibia, and also how to preserve rhinos or other animals in biodiversity. There, women and men manage to protect wildlife every day.
"The end of oil" is the amazing story of a raw material which has revolutionized man's life in just a century. But today, oil reserves are depleting. In his crazy race for always more production, Man didn't manage to preserve this precious energy that took million years for the Earth to give out. To tell the adventure of oil, Yann Arthus-Bertrand and his team went to the United States, the country which depends the most on black gold. At the start of the 21st century, it is now urgent to realize that oil resources are limited. It's today that we have to act and get organized, in order to prepare the new era to come. While all our economies are based on the petrol barrel's price, we'll have to learn to do without oil within 20, 30 or 100 years. What will be the consequences? What are the solutions at stake? This new episode of Earth From Above attempts to answer these questions. From China to Benin, including Azerbaijan, Belgium and Canada, Earth From Above takes us on a new trip
It is in Giverny that Julie's journey begins, the place whose name resounds as the cradle of Impressionism has kept a moving authenticity. Its fame is strongly linked to the historical presence of Claude Monet and to all the fabulous witnesses left by him. Claude Monet also left his mark on the cooking in Giverny. His recipe books are there to testify to this. It’s with these notebooks that Julie will be inspired to fill hers, on the menu: Rabbit in compote, andouilles puff pastry with camembert, and apricot charlottes.
Head north to discover a French city that cannot be ignored: Lille. The city has an exceptional architectural heritage, a merchant town since the Middle Ages, a citadel under Louis XIV, an industrial town in the 19th century... it expanded over the centuries. Julie will meet those who contribute to the fame of the city and its region, through its culinary heritage with the menu of this journey: the recipe of the coq à la bière, that of the hochepot and for a sweet note, a crème brûlée with chicory.
Impromptu aperitifs aren't always easy. When friends turn up unannounced, stress can quickly mount. Don't panic, Luana Belmondo and Thomas Clouet, a great specialist in the field, improvise an aperitif at the drop of a hat, using very little. Mushroom macaroons, a mini beef tartare and you're ready to go!
Wellness cuisine is not synonymous with sadness and insipidity. It can be extremely gourmet, for a balanced way to indulge yourself. On this theme, Luana welcomes young wellness pastry chef Johanna Le Pape. Together, they will prepare recipes that are both tasty and perfectly balanced: corn pizza with vegetables and peach-cassis and verbena puffs...
Julie is offering you a trip to the south of France. Between the Rhone Valley and the Mediterranean, let's discover a fruit that is harvested in November: the olive. On the way, we will stop at the Sourdon family's house to cook sea bream accompanied by an olive fricot. We will then go to Aix en Provence to prepare a strange dessert: the Fernand-style oil pump. Then we head for an exceptional estate, the Villa Beaulieu, to taste a Bagna Cauda like you have rarely seen before finishing with Jean-Luc Rabanel, a starred organic chef and defenders of grand cru olive oil...
We will start this journey near La Rochelle to learn a little more about the breeding of the famous bouchot mussels but also a very particular technique to cook them. We will then go on a tour of France's best oysters: towards Cancale, Arcachon, Montpellier and finally Oléron to learn about the different breeding methods and to find out more about all the species in France. Julie will cook a fricassee of berniques, the little Chinese hats that cover the rocks of the coast, as well as pink clams that are little known to the public. We will continue our journey in Finistère to meet Sylvain, the only abalone breeder in the country, and then to Méru where there are still workshops magnifying this sublime material. The Chef Jean-Marie Baudic will cook scallops like no one else.
Julie heads for Burgundy to discover ancient breeds of poultry reintroduced to France thanks to the work of breeder Fred Ménager. We'll then move on to Auvergne to discover how the famous Label Rouge is awarded and the role of certifying bodies ... because it's important to know what ends up on our plates. Julie also travels to the Drôme to cook guinea fowl, before heading to the Périgord to prepare a turkey stew. Julie will then head back up towards the center to discover an amazing fly maker who uses rooster feathers!
