In reply to Val Defields. Val, thank you so, so much! I really appreciate kind words like this, as it really makes me feel like my mission is on the right path. Sharing stories, food, recipes and anecdotes with readers (and having them do the same with me) makes my days just that much better! I hope you'll continue to enjoy the blog, cooking and leaving thoughts and comments when you're feeling inspired. Cheers! :)

Audrey, I love the monthly newsletter! I think of you as my personal chef/friend! Cooking is so pleasant and satisfying, when we have a “happy place” kitchen, and joy in our hearts of creating meals for family and friends. Your excellent, delicious , uncomplicated recipes are so appreciated. Welcome to my kitchen (my slice of French heaven!),after an unexpected absence!

In reply to Emma ROONEY.

Thank you so much for your comment and kind words, Emma! Your husband is unfortunately right with his advice… But it’s still second best advice to never leaving 🙂 . As for Point P, we do have one in Lorient – I will have to check it out! I thought they were just a flooring company, but apparently it’s much more. Thanks for the tip!

I hope you enjoyed the soup, and that it helped with your flu! It’s that time of year, unfortunately… But a good bowl of soup can definitely bring some comfort and energy back… Bon courage!

Congratulations on your move to France, well deserved! I’m really enjoying this newsletter and look forward to my monthly dose of la belle vie! I spent three months in my home in Vaucluse and it was a real wrench to leave but, as my husband always tells me, you have to leave to come back…..
Do you have a Point P near you? My local one in Mazan now does paint matching which is so useful I only have a few drops left of my existing paint but don’t want to change everything….
I’m making the Crecy carrot soup as I type, didn’t have enough carrots so it’s carrot and parsnip, can’t wait to taste it as I’ve been in bed with flu for ten days – oh la grippe!
Here’s to your November newsletter!

Hi! I always enjoy everything you share – food, culture, shopping – all of it. Can you write something about coffee – preferences in preparation, what type of coffee, etc. ? Best wishes!

In reply to Cindy Albert. So glad, Cindy! The galette is huge on comforting flavor, while still being reasonable with the added sugars. Love that you enjoyed it!

The Apple Cinnamon Galette is delicious. Since we have to watch our sugar intake, I’m always looking for low sugar desserts and this one fit the bill.

In reply to Pauline. Thank you so much, Pauline! I'm glad my newsletter brings a little glimpse of my life, as well as the life of your son and his family into yours. Montpellier is a beautiful city, with so much charm. And I really appreciate the well wishes too! Merci!

Audrey I just really enjoyed reading your newsletter, and I always enjoy your recipes. I am always keen to learn more about living in France as my son and wife and grandchildren live in Montpellier where I visited earlier in the year. Your newsletter is a great idea. A Red bowl for me:). I’ll explore your links later. Congrats on your new home, it sounds lovely.
