She Has A TikTok Series Dedicated To Teaching You How To Host Guests Just Like A French Person
Are you a lover of French culture? French people are known for living sophisticatedly, valuing meals, quality time with others, and taking it easy.
If you’ve ever been interested in channeling a French outlook on life, you might want to start by changing how you host gatherings and dinner parties.
You may know Manon Lagrève (@manonlagreve) from the ninth season of the famous British television series, The Great British Baking Show.
Today, she’s a writer and content creator, letting her viewers in on her life as a mother, cook, and Frenchwoman living in London.
Manon created a series on her TikTok page, filled with delectable-looking recipes, called ‘Host Like a French,’ where she teaches users about the traditions and recipes French people use when hosting guests.
Manon’s videos from this series perfectly capture French culture’s most aesthetically pleasing aspects, using fresh and tasty-looking ingredients, explaining certain practices, and speaking in her lovely French accent.
One of Manon’s most recent videos in the series teaches viewers how to make a popular Sunday dinner in French homes – “poulet frites,” or chicken and fries!
“Apparently, even Napolean always had roast chicken somewhere in his kitchen ready for a little munch,” says Manon in her video. “If you go to any boucherie (butcher) or market, you’re often gonna see these roast chicken just waiting for anyone to buy them.”
Manon preps her chicken for the oven by adding a lot of chopped onions, garlic, and herbs to the bottom of her roasting pan before slathering her chicken in a lot of butter and seasoning it with rosemary, salt, and pepper.

She also adds the neck and liver back into the chicken for some added flavor before putting it in the oven.
She prepares her fries by cutting fresh ones and cooking them in a dutch oven filled with water before draining them and placing them on a baking sheet with butter and seasonings to put them in the oven.
Manon serves stuffed mushrooms and green beans along with her chicken and fries. The food looks incredibly delicious.
Don’t worry; Manon also has a video all about how French people typically serve desserts when hosting.
Manon explains that if you go for dinner at a French home, you’ll probably be asked if you want a coffee after your meal.
“Often, it’s gonna be served with a sweet treat,” says Manon before showing her viewers how to make tasty-looking financiers.
Manon has a ton of other French hosting-related videos, as well as other recipes, French beauty tips, etc.
If you’ll be hosting an event sometime soon, try taking Manon’s French tips into consideration!
