The culinary icon returns with a new line-up of healthy, home-cooked meals. This season, Jacques creates nearly 100 delicious recipes for every occasion - from a light snack to an elegant dinner - using readily available fresh foods, supermarket staples and simple techniques. Taking inspiration from around the world, his lamb stew, paella and Tibetan bread incorporate Asian, Latin American and diverse European influences, including his classic French background. Each episode contains four or more dishes, including minute-long recipes for croque monsieur tidbits, an instant red-pepper dip or butter bean canapes, along with Jacques' valuable tips and techniques.
