Wow, I know. I'm so happy to see you in
Paris.
Bonjour,
Bonjour, Bonjour.
Is this your neighbourhood? This is my neighbourhood.
50 years ago, Jeffrey and I were on a four
month camping trip
and this market we came to and I've always loved
it and it just kind of opened up a world
of food to me that I didn't know existed.
And it was the beginning of where I started.
And now this market for this market,
we wouldn't have you.
I don't think so. And I just wanted to show
it to you because it changed my life.
Ina Garden is one of the most celebrated cooks in
the food world.
Her love French ingredients has been an inspiration since the
beginning of her culinary journey.
And how lucky were we to be invited for a
picnic in the park?
This is what we're going to do.
Everybody's going to get a basket.
Cutest ever, and we're going to go shopping for a
picnic in the park.
Oh, I love a picnic.
So cute. And this is the deal.
It's like supermarket sweepstakes. You can buy anything you want,
but it has to be finger food.
Challenge accepted. Respite Market in the heart of the 6th
Aron Dismant is one of the most popular and well
known spots in all of Paris.
For more than 100 years,
vendors with fruits and vegetables as well as prepared foods
line this neighborhood.
Ina steered us to one of her favorite places to
start.
First off, yeah, it's potato pancakes,
isn't it's just incredible smell that I know who wants
a
potato? I do OK. The smell of it is just
incredible.
Someone's
With so many vendors to visit,
we decided to divide and conquer.
What do you taste? These?
These
are
so beautiful. They were just picked yesterday or today
maybe. Maybe that one perfect
messy look at all these.
Why isn't she so much better than this?
Because it's in Paris.
They're incredible Plums. Oh, my God,
I know.
We want those. Yes, we should get a couple of
croissants.
Yes.
Yes. See.
Have baguettes. We'll travel. We'll travel.
Jeez, Brent, what's next? Let's find a little
libation. A little libation? There's some Prosecco.
But now should we get 2 cookies?
Yes, I think so.
02 cookies, two traps. I'm getting salad,
dessert. Should we have a picnic?
Guys, I think it's time for a picnic.
I'm going to show you my favorite local park.
This way.
Is this the perfect day for a picnic in Paris?
Oh my God. Perfect. Baskets filled.
We made our way to square Bosico.
This is so magical. And we set up right here
for you.
Wow. We're going to have a picnic in the park.
Yeah,
to the Olympics, just steps away from the market.
And also there's a park here that you just hang
out in.
And that's what the French do.
They love their lives. They work so they can have
a life.
We just work all the time.
I made a very good point you guys about slowing
down
when we have our tell us,
sit at a cafe and you go for a walk
on the sun and,
and it's all part of life.
Whereas we're always have getting a coffee to go and
they go,
why do you want to have a coffee to go?
Sit, relax. And if you try and get a coffee
to go,
they give you an espresso that's right up to the
top of the cup with no lid.
So you spill it all over yourself.
So the next time you sit down.
And so that's what we did.
We sat back,
we sipped champagne and we enjoy life.
You do anything
to it. Tears. Tears in Paris were the best team
ever.
Ever, the most fun. Remember that time we had a
picnic in a park with Ina,
Gordon and Pierce? I mean,
I can't remember that time.
Thank you Ina,
that was so amazing. I actually brought some fruit for
the market,
so please help yourself. Thank you.
Everything tastes, I mean, the Peaches taste like Peach Jam
and the and I also brought a little hazelnut cake
from a bakery that's just incredible.
You said that these farmers may have picked it that
very morning.
That's well, that's what the thing about that.
It's really a farmers market,
but it's a street market.
It's three times a week and you just go and
have the most incredible produce and freshly baked bread and
the cheeses.
You know, it's from a farm.
I mean, you cooked before,
but it was here in Paris that you kind of
became Ina Garten,
that this whole thing was born.
Well, you know, I tell this,
I have a memoir coming out in the fall and
I tell the story that Jeffrey and I had four
months and the only thing we could afford to do
was go camping in in Europe.
So we started in Paris.
And I remember going to the Boulevard restaurant market with
Jeffrey and
I, I just couldn't believe it.
I couldn't believe that the strawberries were had a season
and that they were so delicious.
And we went to Poilan,
the bread bakery. Then I'm going to go without actually
later this week and
everything is just delicious. And I went home and I
just said I need to know how to make French
food.
And I got Julia Child's Mastering the Order of French
Cooking,
and it changed my life.
And then that's ours. When is your,
when's your when's your memoir coming out?
It comes out in October 1st.
Oh, we look forward to that.
So Paris is the main character.
Yeah. Paris is the main character.
It's those inflection points that really make such a difference
in your life.
I know. We're gonna count on you for our time
here in Paris.
Do you mind doing some more shooting and visiting with
us?
I would. Absolutely. It's gonna happen tomorrow.
She's gonna show us how she shops for a dinner
party around Paris.
And let's just say this is not at,
like, a regular old gross.
Of course not.
Thank you, Ina. So fun.
Thank you. See you tomorrow.
