00:02 If you're wondering how I ended up
00:06 in this 500-year-old Parisian wine cellar,
00:09 I can explain.
00:10 Trying local cuisine around the world
00:15 inspired me to do more cooking for myself.
00:17 But my kitchenware was ready for an upgrade.
00:23 So I went to HomeGoods for some culinary inspiration.
00:26 Wow, everything here's from Europe.
00:28 Ooh, these are from Italy.
00:30 At this price, I'll take the whole set.
00:34 And that's when I spotted this beautiful copper saucepan.
00:39 It was perfect.
00:40 And at an amazing price.
00:43 How could I not get it?
00:45 Made in France.
00:48 Then it hit me.
00:48 I saw visions of French cuisine,
00:52 wine tasting, artisanal shops.
00:55 Okay, maybe one more trip first.
00:57 (upbeat music)
01:00 I had been to Paris before,
01:14 but this time I really wanted to find my own connection
01:17 with the city and its food.
01:19 I wanted to explore the city's culinary roots
01:22 and see where my inspiration could take me.
01:25 (upbeat music)
01:27 I started by reintroducing myself to French cuisine.
01:30 What makes this special?
01:31 And the culinary standard across the world.
01:33 (speaking in foreign language)
01:37 I've been trying to cook more
01:57 and I recently got this copper saucepan
01:59 similar to the one you have.
02:01 So I'm very curious, what makes copper so special
02:03 in the kitchen?
02:04 (speaking in foreign language)
02:08 - Bon appétit.
02:21 - Merci.
02:22 (upbeat music)
02:24 (spoon clinking)
02:27 Now to experience the French wine scene.
02:39 (speaking in foreign language)
02:44 - Thank you so much for having me here.
02:47 Can you tell me a little bit about this place?
02:49 (speaking in foreign language)
02:54 (speaking in foreign language)
02:58 - This is a very food-friendly wine.
03:06 It's very versatile.
03:08 My journey with food and wine all started in France.
03:11 This is obviously a very special place to me.
03:15 And I wanted to know, to you,
03:16 what does made in France mean?
03:19 (speaking in foreign language)
03:23 (upbeat music)
03:25 I loved getting to talk to these experts
03:41 and wanted to try my own spin
03:43 on creating a signature French dish.
03:45 I'm trying something new.
03:49 I'm going to make myself something later.
03:51 So I'm looking for some recommendations.
03:52 - Sure.
03:53 I have one specific recommendation.
03:55 Cheese from one that is going to be very soft in texture,
03:58 very soft in taste.
03:59 - Mm.
04:01 I think I'm definitely going to take that one
04:02 and making chicken later.
04:04 It's going to be the perfect aperitif before my meal.
04:06 This French copper saucepan from HomeGoods
04:17 sparked a culinary adventure through Paris
04:20 and helped me take my passion for cooking to the next level.
04:23 Imagine what other adventures are out there
04:25 just waiting to be found.
04:27 Be your wanderlust with incredible global finds
04:30 and a world of savings.
