Ciel, mon Pinard!
Encyclopedia
Ciel, mon Pinard! was a very popular Quebec
cooking show on Télé-Québec
with Daniel Pinard as main chef and Josée Di Stasio as assistant. While many kitchen shows
tend to be formulaic, the success of this programme was in its offbeat, poetic digressions of the knowledgeable Pinard. The show was a springboard for Di Stasio, who went off to star in her own cooking show, À la Di Stasio, after Pinard left the programme. The title is a pun on the legendary line Ciel, mon mari! (Heavens, my husband!) from the plays of French
playwright Georges Feydeau
