TheToday Showcrew are in Paris covering the 2024 Summer Olympic games, and who better to show them around than cookbook author, host and Parisian food enthusiast Ina Garten.
“This is my neighborhood,” Garten shares with Hoda Kotb, Savannah Guthrie, Al Roker and Craig Melvin. “Fifty years ago, Jeffrey and I were on a four-month camping trip, and this market we came to … I’ve always loved it. It just kind of opened up a world of food to me that I didn’t know existed.”
Here’s what Garten and theTodayhosts snagged at the “life-changing” Bastille Market that inspired her to cook French-inspired cuisine, plus some recipes to re-create their mouthwatering picnic this summer.
9 Places in Paris Everyone Should Visit at Least Once, according to Ina Garten
First up, potato pancakes are a must for Garten’s picnic spread.
“The smell of it is just incredible,” she exclaims—and we wish we could smell it through the screen. We’re thinking ourCrispy Potato LatkesorMashed Potato Pancakeswill provide the same fresh-from-the-market flavors.
With their French ingredients, Garten and theTodaycrew head down to Square Boucicaut to enjoy their picnic, and we’re salivating at the bread-and-cheese spread—it’s like a mini version of ourUltimate Summer Fruit & Cheese Board. Back in the studio reminiscing on their outdoor adventures, Garten plated an array of fruits from the market as well as a hazelnut cake she found at a local bakery. We would love to pair some fresh strawberries with our ownChocolate Hazelnut Tartfor a sweet and nutty bite.
Garten left theTodayshow hosts with some parting advice: “Slow down” and enjoy life when you can. We’ll cheers a glass of prosecco to that!
