La Cabane de l’écailler is this beautiful restaurant that just opened last week on a little street adjacent to the beach. The restaurant is located on l’Avenue des Oliviers”, which is this small street less than 100 m/yard long which is closed for cars Tuesday’s and Thursday’s local market. I was invited [...] The first week I arrived on the French Riviera there was a food and wine of France show right here in Cagnes-sur-Mer. I went and bought all kinds of stuff, I didn’t share that experience with you because I didn’t take pictures. But the show is in town again all week, so I went camera [...] Yesterday was another magnificent day; it was sunny and the mercury was around 70°F. Perfect day for a walk, actually it’s always nice to go for a walk along the Mediterranean. But this week-end we had the Chestnut Festival in Cagnes-sur-Mer. The city had closed a couple of streets around the main ‘place’ and there [...] Yesterday it was really windy; from my desk I could see the Mediterranean Sea covered with white caps but there was no rain. At the same time as the winds were increasing here, my friend Brian is St-Lucia in the West Indies was emailing me via his smart phone that hurricane Tomas was [...] When I first moved here, I had set my mind to find the best bread and butter as I missed it so much since I left Montréal. I believe bread is the essence of life. We break bread as a way to share with others. Every culture has their own bread, for some it’s pita, [...] Belgium endives are most probably one of my favorite vegetables, along with artichokes, wild mushrooms and the sweet very small new potatoes (smaller than a silver dollar). I wonder if it’s because of childhood memories or because I am lazy and don’t like to wash lettuce or is it because I read a while back [...] If feels awkward talking about my trip to India, as I only visited the city of Bengaluru/Bangalore out of this large country. India is about one third the size of the U.S., but its population is estimated at 1.15 billion people compared to 310 million of people living in America. I don’t want to compare [...] India has nothing to do with the Mediterranean, except that I am visiting India right now. Of course, as a Mediterranean diet promoter and dietitian, I look for similarities and differences with the Mediterranean diet. I see that animal protein is used in small amounts and that there are a lot of vegetarians and vegans [...] When I decided I was going to spend a few days in Paris, I wondered where I would be eating some ‘real’ super amazing good food; something so good that it would knock me off my chair. I live for experiences like that; in food, in traveling or in relationships and I accumulate lasting memories [...] For those who don’t know me well or haven’t figured it out yet; I am a foodie and in French I call myself a gourmet gourmande. Gourmet; because I know and appreciate ‘good’ food and ‘gourmande’ because I am excited about food and want some. It’s all about food for me; I am always looking [...] |
