Meet Michelle Chen (@legallywined). She is an ex-lawyer turned wine connoisseur whose hobby has taken her to some of the most exotic places in the world. Her travels have inspired her interior design skills and taste for the finer things — she doesn't just purchase any ol' item for her kitchen. So when she came across this lustrous French copper saucepan at HomeGoods, she was mentally transported to France, where she found connections to French culture and their culinary heritage.

Watch as Michelle Chen, inspired by her copper saucepan from HomeGoods, embarks on a whirlwind culinary adventure through Paris.
