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.
Well, not a fan of any cooking show or food movies...I know, it's strange for someone like me who cooks and bakes daily..
ReplyDeleteJesus, Angie, why would you not be a fan of cooking movies? I am shocked. I watch all possible cooking competitions, my current fave is Great Canadian Chocolate Showdown.
DeleteLike you, I also thought it felt a bit woke. I do like the story idea though, so I may wait until my library gets this one in. We have Ted Lasso on hold there and should be able to start watching that as soon as it's returned from other patrons.
ReplyDeleteTed is apparently getting a fourth season which I do not approve of.
DeleteOh, I thought it was done now. Was there a demand for a 4th or it was always supposed to run longer than 3 seasons?
DeleteIt was supposed to end with 3 because they really did lost the plot and ruined most of the characters, but apparently some fans want it back.
