APPLE TV'S CAREME
19TH CENTURY SET CULINARY SERIES
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 the popular streamer is ready to launch the show on
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”!

I will watch it, but I'm not crazy about the trailer
ReplyDeleteYes, all the clips and trailers were off putting, and he is emitting serious PISS ME OFF vibes. We shall give it a go, though, since it is period set.
DeleteWell, at least the food looks good here LOL.
ReplyDeleteThe critics are good so far, but he just pisses me of for some reason.
