Chapon with Emily Gaudichon

Around the world, there are different traditions for what to eat as the main meal on Christmas day. In the UK it might be a goose in the USA a turkey and in Australia, we often just throw a shrimp on the barbie. But here in France, most families will sit around the table enjoying a chapon or capon as some call it.  To help us find out more about this bird we are talking to an Australian chef who's made Paris her home with a young family and who writes for the acclaimed David Lebowitz. Emily Gaudichon is the real Emily in Paris. No, I'm not joking her Instagram handle is the real Emily in Paris and today she helps us tackle all things Chapon.You can find out more about Emily Gaudichon via the below link https://www.instagram.com/thereal_emilyinparisSupport the showIf you are planning a trip to France then why not come join me for a cooking experience in Montmorillon or a small group food tour in Lyon and/or Cote D’Azur.
