Somehow I refuse to believe that yeast and I are not meant for each other. I always come back and try again. There’s a good relationship in there somewhere, we just haven’t found it yet. At least we respect each other, or at least I respect The Yeast. A lot. I believe yeast is a […]

Just to make that clear and to avoid confusion: I am not nor have I ever been French. Unfortunately, might I add. But I have been a francophile as long as I can remember, possibly since the first time my parents took me there when I was three and the only thing I can remember […]

Recently I’ve gone a bit crazy over cook books and magazines. I even dragged the husband to Draguignan under false pretenses, so that I could find a bookstore and get my very own copy of „Cantines„, a French cook book featuring food served in French school cafeterias interpreted by chefs.

A co-worker had told me where to find farms selling their products in little shops, so we tried to find the ones she told me about and were more than successful. We stopped at three farms, offering meat, vegetables, […]

Yes, it’s the theme of the past week and it will be the theme for the weeks to come. Deal with it. I’m going through a food phase. Everything is about food here. I read about it, I think about it and I write about it. Blame whatever you want. I just love food and […]
