It’s looking festive and delicious at le marché Beauvau in Paris! 🍾🥂🎁🎄🤶

Foie gras terrines in progress with the smiling team and plenty for sale at Aux Volailles d’Aligre, best poultry butcher in town.

Look out for capons and chestnuts too.

Bon app’ et bonnes fêtes!

Egg mayo is the most iconic of French first courses.

They’re deceptively simple to make — 9 minutes and 30 seconds of cooking time, s’il vous plaît — and dangerously delicious to eat. (Fortunately there’s usually only an egg and a half on the plate. I could eat ten.)

This is just one of many test photos for my updated website. Coming soon! 👀👀👀

A winner! 👀👀👀

Last weekend we made a Tarte Tatin, one of France’s most comforting desserts.

Caramelised salty-buttery apples with a hint of vanilla bubble away in the oven underneath a flaky puff pastry. Then we turn the whole tart upside down, and the apples, caramel, and pastry all make a satisfying « whump » onto the serving plate.

Served with a little (or big!) dollop of AOP crème fraiche from Isigny in Normandy, this dessert is always a hit.

What a fantastic event last night !

A rapt audience listened to moderate a discussion with Rosa Jackson of and Jane Bertch of !

Great anecdotes and observations on life in France, re: living the dream AND reality.

And all three of the writers stayed to sign their own books, all of which I highly recommend. 😃

It’s a pork salame made with fennel pollen, pink peppercorns, garlic, and black peppercorns.

If you’re in RVA, you should run (don’t walk) down to to pick up plenty!

Barn find #287!

Yes, after 7 years, we are still discovering objects in barn, garage, attic, cider press area, and workshop. 😂😅

These are biscuit (cookie) and waffle irons. The flatter ones were of the type that were popular for making “oublies” in Medieval times, which were thin wafers sold in the streets of Paris.

Oublies were usually taken from the iron and placed over a cylindrical object while still hot, to give them a nice curved shape, much as modern tuile cookies are shaped.

What should I do with these? Use them? Give them to a museum??

The sincerity and earnestness with which my son asked me if I wanted this handbag at our favorite thrift store: «  Because it was made in Egypt.»

Me: « How do you know? »

Him: « Because it has little pyramids on it.»

It’s la rentrée! 😃😃😃

After packing my kids off to their first day of school this morning, I unpacked these beautiful 1930s dishes.

The late-summer vide-greniers or village jumble sales in France were a boon this year!

Happy back to school! 😎
