Description

John Crace of The Guardian described the first episode of The Little Paris Kitchen as"an uneasy mishmash: the format was, too; like so many other cooking programmes, it tried to cram in a bit of forced travelogue to add local colour, with hints of cultural appropriation". In another review of the first episode, Christopher Hooten wrote: "Khoo’s girl-in-the-big-city charm and hearty recipes make this series difficult to dislike", and remarked the show spliced recipes with images of Paris.
