Bonjour! If you like cooking, France and food(!) here's a link for you:
It's easy to sign up for free to this newsletter LA MARMITE (the casserole, roughly translated). It's sent out by an American foodlover living in France. The articles and recipes are interesting and this month are linked to a novel by an English writer who lives in the Cévennes region of France. Next time it will be about Christmas food. You can also choose to read back issues. For example, I've just found out from the April issue that Chicken Colombo, which I've seen on menus here, comes from French Guiana (Guyane), an overseas department of France located on the north coast of South America. ( Facing the Atlantic Ocean, and tucked between Suriname and Brazil, the population of Guyane is an unusually diverse mix of people from all over the world - Amerindians, Creoles, West Indians, Brazilians, Indians, Chinese, Hmongs, Europeans, and more. Each of these populations, along with the tropical climate, has influenced the cuisine of Guyane. ) The recipes on the GUYANE menu look great!
Next I'll be writing about my 1st experience as a leader with the Louveteaux ( Scout Cubs ) and Louvettes (Brownie Guides) pack here in Montauban. It was great!!
Plus my mincemeat recipe: a vegetarian version, because I wouldn't know where to begin trying to source beef suet here, even if I wanted to!!
Enjoy! Bon appétit and happy reading!
Janet
