The World Cup fever is set to invade kitchens across France with Cyril Lignac and Jérôme Anthony very soon! The two acolytes seize the 2026 World Cup and will offer an unprecedented and high-energy version of Tous en Cuisine, to be broadcast Monday through Friday at 6:30 PM on M6. Here’s everything you need to know before kick-off.
Tous en Cuisine passe en mode match : un concept qui mêle foot et gastronomie
The idea is simple: to thrill viewers around two of their passions, cooking and football. France’s favorite chef, Cyril Lignac, takes you on a true culinary journey across the nations in competition, revisiting the great classics of their culinary specialties. On his side, his partner Jérôme Anthony will roam the towns of France aboard his “miam-miam” truck in the heart of fan zones, with all his energy and his infectious humor that we know so well.
The two phases of the show to keep up with the World Cup rhythm
This World Cup edition of Tous en Cuisine will obviously adapt to the competition schedule. Before the official kick-off, the show will enter a warm-up phase: a family in the colors of the Blues (or their favorite team) will be invited to cook live in a festive atmosphere, surrounded by the M6 sports consultants and a VIP guest who will participate from home via video conference. A former player, a football enthusiast, or simply a supporter embodying a nation… There will be some wonderful surprises!
Once the competition is underway, each episode will spotlight the nations that will face off that evening, with recipes inspired by their culinary traditions. It will be complemented by input from the members of the World Cup Mag who will share information, analyses and other anecdotes about the upcoming matches.
The concept is simple: we cook together before the match and we stay on M6 to watch it. The perfect recipe!

A World Tour on a Plate with Cyril Lignac
Undoubtedly one of the highlights of this special edition! Cyril Lignac has crafted simple, generous, and convivial recipes inspired by nine key nations of the World Cup and, above all, very easy to prepare before settling in front of the screen. From France to Canada, via Mexico, the United States or Spain, your taste buds will travel! Here are some highlights on the menu:
- Mexico: a creamy guacamole revisited with peas and beef tacos with spicy mayonnaise;
- Canada: confit duck poutine and pecan muffins with maple syrup;
- United States: smash burger and its homemade coleslaw;
- Portugal: lamb skewers, chimichurri sauce and pastel de nata.
Something that could transform each evening into a true culinary celebration with specialties more or less known, which will thrill you as much as the 90 minutes of the match!
Star guests and football experts on the lineup
Throughout the World Cup weeks, the show will welcome a fine lineup of personalities: comedians, artists but also athletes, with, among others, Redouane Bougheraba, Joyce Jonathan, or Camille Lacourt, coming to cook live from their homes. A source of spontaneous moments and plenty of good cheer!
On the football expertise side, well-known figures such as Samuel Umtiti, Franck Leboeuf, or Xavier Domergue will come to share their passion and their perspective on the competition. Beside them, Pitch Addict will also be part of the show to bring a digital touch and a food-culture angle.
