The Sazerac is a classic cocktail that originated in the early 19th century in a New Orleans apothecary.

I try to be generous with my mince pies, spreading the British cheer around me here in France (much to the bafflement of the French).

Last night I made roasted butternut squash and sticky chicken thighs with a white miso, brown sugar, black vinegar & sesame oil sauce.

I’ve taken a few days off from the daily blogging and to be honest, I feel better for it. Writing every day has been a pleasure.

Another chilly but beautiful day here in Noizay, I spent most of the morning at Chateau de Montdomaine coordinating orders.

There’s a chill in the air this morning and a low damp mist hanging in the air that will lift as the day goes on to reveal the winter sun.

Harvest continued this week at Domaine Carême. On Monday the grapes for Fizzy Pink came in under blue skies with hot temperatures.

Sometimes we get the chance to taste something offbeat and delicious and this wine that we enjoyed with friends this week, certainly fit the bill.

Teint is a French word and it means tint, dye, stain. A cépage teinturier is a grape variety that stains, dyes or tints. So what makes that different?

The grapes are starting to form and after two weeks of almost daily rain, the weather has settled and things are looking brighter.
