Tom Kerridge is taking a culinary trip across the Channel on Monday, June 30, at 9:30 PM GMT on Food Network UK. In French Connection, the latest episode of Tom Kerridge Secrets of the Pub Kitchen, he reveals how French cooking techniques have influenced his approach to modern pub food.
Kerridge, known for giving classic British pub dishes a fresh spin, will explore his training in French-style cookery and how those foundational skills shape his pub kitchen today. We will see him prepare clafoutis, a baked French dessert with fruit, and cassoulet, the slow-cooked bean and meat stew. He also gives us a look at how to create a frangipane tart.
The episode is set to show how French sophistication can meet pub comfort. Kerridge’s focus remains on creating simple, contemporary recipes that taste impressive, proving that a little bit of French know-how can elevate even the most familiar dishes.
