Bon Appétit! Eva Longoria: Searching for France Premieres Sunday, April 12 at 9pm ET/PT

This season, Longoria samples fresh oysters in Paris, flavorsome bouillabaisse in Provence, and fluffy frog legs mousseline in Alsace. She tastes her way through braised boeuf bourguignon in Burgundy, buttery blue lobster in Brittany and beefy Bordelaise sauce in Bordeaux. In two special episodes, she returns to Paris – first to immerse herself in the Parisian art of pâtisserie, and then to indulge in an extraordinary meal along the River Seine that traces how French cuisine conquered the world in seven dishes.
