I have been very fortunate in being able to sample much of the varied richness of France available within a few hours of Paris–food, wine, culture and a wonderful group of new friends, colleagues and partners. From the green, rain-soaked pastures of Normandy, providing cheese and butter for both eating and cooking, to the confit de canard and goose fat of the southwest and ending up in Provence, where olive oil is king, it has been a challenge to keep the weight off and the smile from my face, as I pinch myself to verify that this life is not a dream.
This collection is my way of saying thanks and sharing with you, my many memorable experiences.
'If you would like to visit any of the locations mentioned, I am often able to arrange special trips for parties and individuals where you will be welcomed with the same warmth extended to old friends.”
