I’m pleased to announce that my fundraiser for Breakthrough’s Breast Cancer awareness month during October raised £100. Many thanks to all of you who donated. During October I came across various media features to do with treating cancer, including a radio item about how cancer patients need to keep their strength up with healthy [Read on...] We drove to Cucuron and discovered the sleepiest of Provencal villages. Streets were deserted. Saucepans belonging to vielle madames clattered as we passed kitchen windows. [Read on...] 
Today we go to chocolate heaven and back. Maison Larnicol is truly wonderful. I discovered it on holiday this summer in St Malo, Brittany. [Read on...] The Portsmouth to St Malo crossing is around ten hours and arrives in port at 8am French time so you get more sleep and do less driving. It’s a win win situation. [Read on...] Dinner with Crayons is my regular weekend kid friendly restaurant review. This week though is a rarity. We escaped during our recent holiday on Île de Ré. Today there are no sippy cups, no budgie’s cage mess on the floor and nooooo crayons! This week’s submission to Sticky Fingers‘ Gallery on the theme of “Creatures“ [Read on...] Today’s post is one of my regular series of Saturday non-recipe mini posts, “Postcard from…” Last week I shared pictures of the parade in Vannes, Brittany.

Situated 20km north east of Carpentras in the Vaucluse département, it was a little way off [Read on...] Before you read this post, be warned that Blogger is double spacing my paragraphs and it’s driving me nuts. Something about this month’s Mactweets macarons was to be new. “Maybe drying out fruit to create a new flavour/colour powder, try Italian meringue, try new flavour combos, try getting feet if you’ve never done that before… [Read on...] This blog post marks the first in my new series of Saturday mini-posts which will be called “Postcards from…” I will use it to share anecdotes and pictures coming from holidays, friends and family around and about. Today’s postcard is from my uncle in France. Galette des Rois Villeurbanne, Lyon, Jan 6 Dear Sarah [Read on...] Too sick to to cook this week, I am taking you a weekend mini break in my favourite town on earth, St-Rémy-de-Provence.
