Touring in France – August – September 2009

Posted on 23 August 2009

August, 2009 – as many of you know, I am currently on my way to Maasbracht in Holland to barge on the beautiful 100 year old Betty B through provincial France.  We are starting in Maasbracht and will travel through Belgium on the same route as last June into France.  This time we aim to travel as far as we can towards Avignon, where we will leave the barge till next year.

I am looking forward to cooking many fine dinners after shopping in the marvellous markets, charcuteries, épiceries and boulangeries and supermarkets along the route….last time we cooked such dishes as moules marinière, lapin au moutarde, porc rillettes, chicken paupiettes, magret de canard with plum sauce, slow cooked pork belly with blueberries and chocolate mousse…..
