The best sandwich in Paris

Sat, 18 Oct 2008 16:17:17 UT

Jambon-beurre. They are just two apparently humble ingredients, yet choose them carefully, tuck them into a crunchy-crusted baguette, add a swipe of Dijon mustard and you have one of the world's most extraordinary sandwiches.

A weekend in Liguria

Wed, 15 Oct 2008 08:45:19 UT

I've been to Italy more times than I can count, especially since I moved to Nice. So you would think I would stop getting so childishly excited every time I cross the border.

A few weeks ago I would have sworn that there was no good sushi in Nice. It turns out that I just hadn't looked in the right place.

Cockerel with chestnut honey and peaches

Mon, 08 Sep 2008 18:34:10 UT

It has always come naturally to me to throw fruit into a salad - raspberries with asparagus, figs with feta cheese, blood oranges with beets - yet in France this makes me something of an eccentric.

Les Cévennes

Mon, 01 Sep 2008 07:10:53 UT

Staying in a chambre d'hôtes with breakfast and dinner included would be a new way for us to spend a summer holiday, but the more I thought about it the more I liked the idea of leaving the cooking to someone else - especially when that someone seemed to love food as much as I do.

The sun is far too dazzling here in Nice so I'm off to England for a few days, where it promises to be cold and wet.

Chocolate mousse with fleur de sel
