I take a lot of pride in using locally sourced ingredients such as fresh fish & oysters from Charente Maritime, meat from the local butcher & cheeses, vegetables & salads from the market in Jarnac or the nearby farm shop. Meals include a couple of glasses of local wine (red, white or rosé) & coffee. A lot of the recipes are inspired by the countries I have lived in & what's available fresh in the market. | |||
