REUNION’S CUISINE MAKES IT TO FRENCH NATIONAL TELEVISION
(Posted 19th June 2015)
There is a saying that love goes through the stomach and that is particularly true for lovers of Reunion as a destination, who were able to sample the fine Creole cuisine of the island. Babette de Rozieres, a renowned television celebrity chef, recently came to the island to produce four cooking programmes which will be screened over four Sundays across France on Channel O.
Named ‘Les P’tits Plats de Babette’ will viewer be able to discover the rich Creole cuisine, using locally grown organic ingredients and the spices commonly used in such dishes. Her Guadaloupean co-chef Emmanuel Maubert equally contributed to make the programme worth watching by preparing dishes like the famous ‘Sausage Rougail‘ but also make pinapple chutney, spicy samosas, pickled vegetables and crab curry among other dishes. In between scenes in the kitchen does Reunion always feature in the background, the markets and the sights of authentic Creole villages, looking today as they looked ages ago. This is the place described by Chef Emmanuel where ‘Living together really makes sense’.
Such culinary delights are of course best discovered through a visit to the island but for now can viewers in France enjoy the series of cookingshows on TV. Bon Appetite.
