“The boom of ‘The Eternaut’ has created a cultural and social event beyond the series,” said Martín Oesterheld, the writer’s grandson and a creative consultant and executive producer on the show. “It fills our hearts. It brings us pride.”

Still, his goal was to be the best chef in the world. The show’s first season ends with an extraordinary outdoor coronation banquet that Carême creates for thousands of people. When he places, in triumph, a tall white chef’s hat on his head for the first time, it’s as if he’s crowning himself — and marking his ascent to celebrity.Benjamin Voisin, who’s in virtually every scene, plays Carême with a scruffy head of hair, a gold earring and a bad-boy swagger that’s consciously based on Mick Jagger, circa ’70s.

Director Martin Bourboulon says the choice for the role was obvious once Voisin walked into the audition room.“When you find the right actor for the right part, 80% of the job is done,” he says. “We were very impressed with his youthful attitude but also his rock ‘n’ roll attitude. He is absolutely Carême in real life — very attractive for everyone, a young man who is maybe sometimes a bit insouciant, or careless. “Perhaps not surprisingly, the show plays up the sex factor. The first scene sets the tone with Carême and his lover, Henriette, in a food-tasting session that morphs immediately into sex, but then duty calls: Napoleon’s soldiers are coming for dinner.

Bourboulon says that first scene was very intentional, establishing in a few minutes the three main themes of the series: food, sex and politics. Did we mention sex?Of course, he wasn’t an accomplished chef, so Voisin was given intensive lessons.

“I spent two months in the kitchen to learn the customs of the great French tradition,” the actor says. He focused on learning how to realistically convey what Carême did best: invent dishes of wild whimsy, especially flamboyant dessert creations like a huge pyramid, or the “croquembouche” tower — a cascade of cream puffs. Carême is also known for inventing the vol-au-vent, an airy French pastry shell.

But even so, this master pastry maker can’t even chop an onion correctly when he arrives for work at his first big kitchen job. The job of teaching him falls to the talented sous-chef in Talleyrand’s kitchen, Agathe (Alice Da Luz).Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was born in New York to British parents in 1964.
