Chef Michel Roux seeks out the most delicious places to eat along the bank of the River Thames. He starts his journey at his family's riverside restaurant and Heston Blumenthal's pub, then cooks up lobster ravioli and venison pies.
In Henley, Michel visits a local butcher, a farmer's market and a chocolate-fuelled café. He also cooks a duck burger, cheese and ham pie, and lemon tarts.
Michel goes fishing with an old friend and makes an alfresco fish dish by the river. He also makes watercress soup, a winter salad and roast apples.
Michel arrives in London, where he goes mudlarking and visits a 500-year-old pub. He cooks pan-roast chicken, mussel stew and pear and plum crumble.
In Southend, Michel meets a family of fishmongers and chefs keeping it local. He also makes scallop curry, prawn toast and fried custard beignets.
