Prince Albert II is a man of many talents and interests, and if his upcoming appearance on TF1’s Petits Plats en Équilibre alongside TV chef Laurent Mariotte is anything to go by, it can now be said that he is also pretty handy in the kitchen.
Ahead of its public broadcast in early June, TF1 has released some photographs of the two men cooking an authentically Monegasque meal side by side.
Dressed in an apron bearing the Principality’s coat of arms, Prince Albert is said to have brought along and prepped a range of ingredients for the cooking show, which celebrates traditional and healthy dishes, that were harvested from his own very garden potager at Roc Angel.
The 100% plant-based meal, a jardinière à la monégasque, is constructed of artichokes, spring onions, radishes, chard and peas, and is accompanied by a pesto made with radish tops. Viewers will be able to tune in at 12.55pm on 3rd June to watch the Prince in action and try their hand at this Grimaldi family favourite at home.
In an interview with Point de Vue, Laurent Mariotte said, “He knew the show perfectly. I met a man who is very attached to seasonal products, a true signature of our programme.”
Prince Albert visited the TF1 studios during his recent visit to Paris, where he was honoured with the Commander of the Order of Agricultural Merit insignia by French President Emmanuel Macron.
