Cuisine Provençale


We spent the weekend in the south of France in a small town called Bagard at a guest house named "La Magnanerie" where we partook in a cooking course in the provençale style. Our instructors where Stéphane and Marc, the owners of the place. The class was intimate, with us and another couple, Christelle and Julien getting lots of hands-on experience. We prepared three meals and served one of the meals to some of the other guests of "La Mangnanerie".

We made black and green olive tapanades, caviar of eggplant, rabbit in a thyme and hazelnut stew, a provençale tart, a tart of appricots and lavander, turkey pesto, zucchini cheese rolls, monkfish with ratatouille, churros with anise syrup, etc.


We also visited a bamboo botanical garden on Saturday afternoon called "La Bambouseraie de Prafrance", when we had some free time. This place really gave us some good ideas for adding more bamboo to our terrace!

It was really a great weekend and I want thank my friends in Clermont-Ferrand who gave me this gift for 50th birthday!
Vive les Herbes de Provence !
