APPLE TV'S CAREME
1ST 19TH CENTURY CULINARY SERIES IMAGES
Two years ago I told you that Benjamin Voisin will lead Apple TV's new French historical original series CAREME on the famous 19th century chef turned spy and now we have the first images for the show that will launch
April 30th. Set in the 19th century, the eight episode series, directed by Martin Bourboulon who helmed The Three Musketeers,
will follow the
sprawling story of Antonin Carême, who rose from humble
beginnings in Paris to the height of culinary stardom in Napoleon’s
Europe. He not only became 
an iconic chef, he also became a spy for
France as his talent and ambitions attracted the attention of powerful
politicians, including Napoleon. The series
will shed light on the
miserable reality of 19th century kitchens, contrasting with the
opulence of the mansions and sophisticated of aristocrats. Jérémie 
Renier will play Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord, a Machiavellian diplomat who was minister of foreign affairs in the government of Napoleon
Bonaparte; and Lyna Khoudri will appear as Henriette, Carême’s lover and most dangerous threat. The series is inspired by Ian Kelly book “Cooking for Kings: The Life of Antonin Carême – The First Celebrity Chef”!

Goody, it's Apple! G-d willing, I'll get to see it.
ReplyDeleteHope it will good, but it looks terribly woke to me for some reason, he looks like a modern punker not someone from 19th century.
DeleteCan't say I know any of those actors.
ReplyDeleteNot sure that even the French people know them.
DeleteI am thinking of you, Sherry, and sending your thoughts and prayers, cannot even imagine how you are feeling right now, such a tragic loss.
