Ricardo Larrivee announced Sunday evening to Everyone speaks about it that he was leaving the helm of his daily Ricardo at the end of this season, after 21 years on the airwaves of Radio-Canada.

The last will be on Wednesday, April 19 at 11 a.m.

Next season, Isabelle Deschamps Plante, known for her participation in Les Chefs, as a competitor in 2013 and 2014 and recently as a judge, will take up the torch three days a week. She will set her scene in the same kitchen as Ricardo, who will be regularly received on the set. The chef will also be the executive producer of this new version with his wife, Brigitte Coutu.

“I want to continue doing TV, but also to get involved in other projects and develop the next generation,” said Ricardo in particular about his departure.
