On November 13, 2024, culinary enthusiasts gathered en masse in the picturesque La Ferté-Bernard, France, to witness renowned host Jérôme Anthony whip up delicious dishes right at the foot of the Notre-Dame-des-Marais church. This special filming of the popular television show Tous en Cuisine, co-hosted by chef Cyril Lignac, featured festive menus perfect for the holiday season. The episode is set to air on M6 on January 4, 2025, at 6:35 PM.
During this episode, viewers can expect to learn how to prepare delightful holiday dishes, including suprême de volaille de Loué accompanied by mustard cream and, for dessert, verrine of caramelized apples and Breton shortbread. The event will also welcome celebrity guest Patrick Chesnais, who, along with several other participants at home, will join the festive cooking experience.
Preparing for the holiday festivities, Tous en Cuisine returned with various themed cooking episodes starting December 2, 2024, airing Monday through Saturday at 6:30 PM. This season, Lignac's repertoire includes delectable recipes such as reimagined tiramisu with Mont-Blanc flavors, foie gras pot-au-feu, confit salmon, and hazelnut soufflé. The inclusion of remote participants—celebrities and everyday viewers alike—further enhances the engagement of the broadcast, with each attempting to recreate Lignac's culinary masterpieces from their own kitchens.
While the delicious festivities were happening, host Jérôme Anthony traversed the country, broadcasting from various locations. Equipped with his mobile kitchen, Anthony takes viewers along for the ride, replicatively showcasing the day's recipe alongside local residents. Since the new programming structure began, several filming locations were chosen, including the vibrant ambiance of La Ferté-Bernard and the well-equipped Tous en Cuisine studio situated at 14 rue d’Uzès, Paris, near Place de la République.
The filming of Tous en Cuisine typically occurs weeks prior to the scheduled airing, with the initial shoots of the current season kicking off on October 9, 2024. This schedule allows for seamless production, with live audience engagement prominent as guests watch through the studio's glass walls, showing their support and admiration for Lignac as he creates culinary treats before their eyes.
Despite the joyful cooking demonstrations and viewer interaction, it has been announced by sources such as Toutelatele, "Tous en Cuisine s'arrêtera dès la fin des vacances de Noël,” meaning the show will conclude following the holiday season festivities. The last episode will air on January 4, 2025. Starting January 6, M6 plans to air its twelfth season of La meilleure boulangerie, hosted by Bruno Cormerais, Noëmie Honiat, and Michel Sarran, ensuring viewers have continued culinary entertainment following the end of this beloved series.
For the time being, Tous en Cuisine offers daily viewing from Monday to Saturday until the close of the holiday festivities, reaffirming its status as not just a cooking show but as part of the enjoyable holiday traditions for viewers. Through its innovative format, engaging hosts, and festive flair, it continues to capture the joy and creativity of cooking during the most wonderful time of the year.
