In the 18th Century, many upper class European young men (and a few women) undertook The Grand Tour, a lavish trip across Europe in search of art, culture and the roots of Western civilization. With a remarkable breadth of experience gleaned from cooking professionally all around the globe, Chef Amira Eskenazi conveniently brings a Grand Tour of her favourite European dishes right you, no passport required!

A selection of elegant traditional European dishes from across France and Italy, with delicious detours to Austria and Greece along the way. A showcase of Amira’s prodigious culinary talents, everything is made from scratch, from the pâté a choux and terrine, to the sourdough bread and spätzle. Bon Voyage!
