Little Paris Kitchen: Cooking with Rachel Khoo

Rachel cooks up her unique take on a croque madame, conjures up some wonderful madeleine cakes, shops in the Moroccan part of the capital's oldest food market and explores the city's rooftops to find honey created by Parisian bees.

Rachel crafts baguettes with a master Parisian baker, puts her twist on the traditional beef Bourguignon and creates an irresistible chocolate sponge, oozing with salted caramel.

Rachel puts her twist on the classic French cassoulet by transforming it into a soup and bakes a sumptuous yet unusual cake made from pistachio and goat's cheese. She takes a trip to an award-winning Parisian cheese shop and makes a daybreak visit to Rungis - the world's largest wholesale food market - to produce steak tartare for demanding French butchers.

Rachel rustles up sticky chicken, coated with a lavender and lemon glaze. She also displays her patisserie skills with a batch of zesty grapefruit and pepper meringue tartlets. She takes a trip to the French seaside town of Trouville.

Rachel serves the lightest of desserts - îles flottantes. She samples exquisite Normandy oysters, then prepares gourmet garnishes with a Parisian chef. Finally, Rachel visits one of Paris's finest street markets and meets Joël Thiébault.

Rachel serves a classic quiche Lorraine with a rich creamy filling. She fulfils an all-time desire by turning her hand to crêpe making with a Parisian street vendor. She also visits a Vietnamese restaurant to explore the latest Asian food trends.
