Cover of Luke Nguyen's France

Luke Nguyen's France

Luke Nguyen's passion for food leads him out of Asia and into France. Luke starts his culinary journey in Paris, where he explores Parisians' passion for food, decadence and tradition. He then heads east to the imposing medieval architecture of Strasbourg before continuing on to the dewy mountains of the Franche-Comté. In Lyon, Luke cooks street-side alongside the country's top chefs and home-cooks, before travelling along France's southern coastline from Nice to Biarritz. The journey takes him through the iconic Loire Valley and later to Brittany where he enjoys French food heritage at its best. Local characters open their homes and share family recipes, fusing the taste of France with that of Spain, Africa and Vietnam.
