Eva Longoria stars in the new BBC Two documentary series Searching for France, which airs tonight at 7:15pm. The program follows the actress on a gastronomic tour across the country, beginning in Paris where she samples an Asian-inspired twist on the traditional croque madame.
During the journey, Longoria meets with renowned French chef Alain Ducasse and explores the central role of butter in French cooking. While some critics suggest the series prioritizes style over substance, Longoria’s enthusiastic approach to the cuisine carries the production forward.
Viewers interested in additional television programming can tune into Channel 4 at 7:45pm for The Great Celebrity Pottery Throw Down, featuring ceramicist Fatiha El-Ghorri.
Style over substance? Classic TV trope. Still, Eva looks like she is having a lovely time exploring the cuisine.
I hope there is more about the butter culture than just celebrity meet and greets. Sounds charming though!
