An exclusive peek at the most influential culinary family in Britain. See the best young chefs compete to win a Roux Scholarship and there are gourmet recipes for you to enjoy at home.
The Roux family name is one of the most influential in the British culinary world. For four decades brothers Michel and Albert have made a lasting impact on British eating habits.

Now for the first time, Albert, Michel Roux Sr, Alain and Michel Jr, will be seen working and cooking alongside each other on television, in an exclusive series for Good Food.
The Roux Legacy provides extraordinary behind-the-scenes footage of the legendary family members, both in the kitchens of The Waterside Inn, which remains the only UK restaurant to retain three Michelin stars for more than 25 years, and Le Gavroche in London’s Lower Sloane Street.
This compelling ten-part series also provides access to the family’s famous admirers within the cooking community and those whose careers they have launched, including Pierre Koffman and Marcus Wareing.
