Description
Rachel Khoo, alumna of Le Cordon Bleu, welcomes the audience to the smallest, two-person restaurant in Paris, cooks a number of classic French dishes in her tiny flat in Belleville, Paris and introduces the viewer to "French food the way Parisians cook and eat it".
Reception
John Crace of The Guardian described the first episode of The Little Paris Kitchen as "an uneasy mishmash: the format was, too; like so many other cooking programmes, it tried to cram in a bit of forced travelogue to add local colour". In another review of the first episode, Christopher Hooten wrote that "Khoo’s girl-in-the-big-city charm and hearty recipes make this series difficult to dislike" and also commented that the show spliced recipes with images of Paris.
