Here we go again, for another week of competition. But before the four amateur decorators battle it out with paintbrushes and nails, they have a date in the workshop in Brussels. It's an opportunity to gauge their opponents. And the first contender for the title of decorating ace is : Mickaël, 34, a set designer who's currently unemployed. There's no time for daydreaming, though. His competition arrives in the form of Aurélie, a 31-year-old art teacher.
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.
We headed to the Loir-et-Cher for a hunt supervised by the ONCFS teams. Let's go to the Vosges to cook a tasty deer jig with Mauricette. Let's meet Pierre in the Côte d'Or where he makes hunting horns, an essential tool for hunting. Julie will also meet two hunters from Gironde for a very original afternoon of hunting by the barrel before joining Joël in Aquitaine for another game bird recipe. We will then talk with Laurent about the job of dog trainer. This time it will be Frédéric Robert who will concoct a recipe for hare rubbed with cocoa and cooked in a clay sarcophagus.
Today, Julie takes you on a bread trail to uncover the dedicated artisan bakers and millers. Her adventure will lead her through the Libourne region, then onwards to the North of France, the Ardèche, and the Aisne, where bakers have transformed bread into a powerful catalyst for social cohesion. While some individuals may avoid bread, particularly due to gluten-related concerns, others have chosen to reposition it at the forefront of the dining experience by championing its nutritional benefits. This commitment is shared by several chefs whom Julie will meet at the conclusion of her expedition.
In this episode, we travel to Mexico with fajitas! A typical Tex-Mex dish. Together, we'll prepare tortillas (corn cakes). Next up, fajitas with chicken, peppers and spices.
Luana cooks with the interpreter of the flagship title of Frozen: Anaïs Delva. Together, they will prepare two 100% vegetarian recipes, a philosophy adopted by the singer. On the menu: grilled zucchini fettucini, white beans with pesto and a vegetarian burger. Proof that it's possible to enjoy vegetarian dishes without going hungry!
The Quercy region reveals architectural gems and enchanting landscapes. Rocamadour, a town clinging to its cliffs, Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, a picture-postcard village, and Castelnau-Bretenoux, a fairy-tale fortress, illustrate the richness of a land where tradition and history come together in perfect harmony.
The Haut-Rhin is the epitome of Alsatian charm. Riquewihr and its grands crus, Eguisheim and its half-timbered houses, Colmar and its Little Venice reveal a region where architecture, gastronomy and vineyards come together to offer an unforgettable journey.
Charente-Maritime is a 500-kilometer coastline that conceals an unsuspected heritage. From La Rochelle and its fortified port to the Ile de Ré and its salt marshes, to Talmont-sur-Gironde, a medieval village perched on the estuary, this region reveals itself through the tides and encounters. An immersion between maritime traditions and historical relics.
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.
It is a mushroom that we are going to focus on today. A mushroom, or a black diamond, some would say: the truffle. And along the way, we will twist the neck of some clichés. Truffle hunting with dogs, with a sow but also flies... markets and of course cooking to discover or rediscover this mysterious mushroom, in all its aspects, in a salty but also sweet version... Richerenches, Carpentras, Saint Avère, Toulouse, Aix en Provence… the south of France will honor this black diamond!
Luana Belmondo cooks the queen of vegetable proteins: lentils. Healthy, easily digestible and delicious, it replaces meat and fish. We're going to prepare spiced coral lentil patties, with a yoghurt and mint sauce. Next up, a classic French dish: green lentil salad with Morteau sausage.
In this episode, Luana Belmondo welcomes her friend Séverine Ferrer, host and actress, to prepare pies. On the menu: gâteau patate (a Reunionese speciality with sweet potato) and a "Luarraine" tart, featuring all Luana's favorite ingredients (parmesan, pancetta...).

Francklyn is 13, and Olivier, 14. The two brothers live in the southwest of Madagascar, an isolated area of the island, where you have to fight drought and locusts that ruin the crops regularly.
