FOOD Ever curious I was sitting having a coffee in the café de commerces in Limoux and there were three people on the next table chattering away in furtive planning mode. Hard as I strained to hear the only word I could detect was chef. This was too much for my curiosity. In investigating further (by complaining they were talking to quietly for me to be nosy) it turns out one of the was Doctor Marion Lee of these parts and They were actually planning cooking holidays featuring a French chef . I suggested there may be some amongst us that would be interested in a one day course; I will let you know if that becomes a possibility. Let me know if you would be interested. Dr Lee has put together a book of recipes entitled Soulfood, it features chefs from the Mediterranean coast, along with very good sommelier notes "Soul Food" is being presented here, food which by its nature has much to offer and from which each of us has much to gain. This is food which from conception through to final presentation respects, adheres to and expresses certain ideals and sentiments thereby enabling it to "wholly" fulfil the needs of the person partaking of it. My term "Soul" food is describing food which recognises and maximises its useful potential to be both artform as well as purveyor of essential nutritional needs: it is able to move, effect, give pleasure - to have impact at an emotional and cerebral level - as well as be of nutritional benefit. It is food which through its combinations and form is at once stimulating and satisfying, is an expression, a form of communication as well as a replenishment. "Soul" food is deeply enriching to the individual on various levels and in nourishing the mind as well as the body is able to act as a daily source of real and significant well being Doctor Marion Lee It has part of the book in English and I have found that once you overcome the mental block cooking from a French text recipe is fine and you learn new and often extremely useful words. You can find it at Leclerc in Limoux for 19Euros, or contact me. |

For sale or wanted Chloe from Alet sent me an email with I think is self explanatory and of interest if you need a pet or a plumber Talking of which ... don't know whether you could help. But Lottie, a Belair rabbit, is looking for a new home .. she's a year old and was stupidly given to me for my birthday last year, I never asked for or wanted a rabbit. She's very gentle and friendly ... but it needs an All black team to catch her and she's not scared of doing a 15ft leap into next doors garden to eat grass. Lottie doesn't have any green stuff here at home so her life isn't all that interesting and she deserves better, she did spend a week roaming the village loose and had a great time, returning home at night (of her own accord). Could someone offer her a new home???? A home with children/adults who'll appreciate her ... NOT for the pot, as all my friends round here want to offer (her French name is 'Moutarde' - but I'm not letting her go that way!) Contact Allezalet via: allezalet@tiscali.fr |
