Roasted Shrimp and Tomatoes an Easy One Pot Recipe

April 4, 2022

My heart is equally split between France and Italy, which is why I run small-group Goût et Voyage tours in both Provence and Tuscany.

Once again, I am playing with a recipe from The NY Times. They had a roast chicken recipe that I liked… well, sort of. Honestly, it sounded like a mess on a plate, and I really like to present things with great eye appeal and great flavour. Well, that and I wanted to twist it …

Seared Duck Breast with Ground Cherry Chutney

October 28, 2021

The other day, I got a text from my friend, Jill, that our local store had gooseberries, and did I want any? What a silly question! Of course, I wanted some gooseberries.
