This looks delicious and we will definitely try this recipe as pears are so juicy at the moment here in South West France and the cognac will give it extra flavour.

Ease into your Sunday with this understated yet utterly sublime feature: Cognac Poached Pear and Frangipane Tart. 🍐🥧 Envision pears gently poached in a delicate cognac syrup, their sweetness amplified, cradled in a soft almond frangipane, all held together by a golden, flaky pastry. This dessert is a gentle nod to tradition with a luxurious twist, perfect for ending your weekend on a high note.

Let the comforting flavours of cognac and pear elevate your afternoon. Find this graceful recipe here: https://worldcognacclub.com/index.php?&p=1_18_cognac-gourmet

Picked from our own tree, walnuts are a delicious superfood we love to snack on as they are a good source of plant protein and contain monounsaturated fats, which may be a factor in reducing the risk of heart disease (source Harvard Health). We love to share them with guests when they are in season.

What a lovely map of French cuisine. I made a huge amount of clafoutis this summer not just with cherries from our three cherry trees but also with figs, plums and raspberries. Our summer guests enjoyed picking the fruit too for their own breakfasts or pudding creations.

J’adore cette carte 👨🏼‍🍳👨🏼‍🍳👨🏼‍🍳

Dave you will be so sadly missed! Dave and Richard have done all the work on Maison F***e Blanche, one of our gites we are just finishing off. His constant laughter, high jinks, amazing humour and extremely hard work will continue to echo in the walls of their beautiful creation. Thank you Dave for blessing us with your skills and humour.

Distillation has started in many of the Cognac houses. It's a true art that goes on until the end of March next year. It's a great time to visit the Cognac houses as the aromas and activity are incredible.
