What's that fish called in French? Deciphering a f What's that fish called in French? Deciphering a french fish and seafood menu. Do you know your Églefin from your Espadon? So whilst we are all in lockdown just dreaming of the next trip to a french restaurant - why not learn some of the French fish names. I’ve created a post with a comprehensive list of the English fish names and the French translation - hope you find this useful. 🦀🦐🐟LINK IN BIO🦀🐠🐙 #frenchfishnames #whatsthatfishcalled #nomdepoisson #seafoodmenuinfrench #culinarytravelblogger #tasteofsavoie #foodculture #frenchblogger #bloglifestyle #travelfrance #francetourisme #englishtofrenchfish #quellepoisson #seafoodinfrench
Today I’m mainly dreaming of being back in beaut Today I’m mainly dreaming of being back in beautiful Cambodia and eating the wonderful food. I visited in December 2019 and it could be a while before we are able to safely travel internationally. In Battambang I had lunch and dinner at Jaan Bai a wonderful small restaurant with a great atmosphere. Jaan Bai which means rice bowl in Khmer is a social enterprise restaurant initiative of the Cambodian Childrens Trust. It not only provides employment for young Cambodians who benefit from a profit share arrangement, but 0ver 50% of the profits go to supporting the work of The Cambodian Children’s Trust. 
So you get to eat wonderful food in lovely surroundings with friendly staff and help a really worthy cause. Bookmark this place for your next visit to Cambodia.
Delicious and healthy sweet potato, spinach and re Delicious and healthy sweet potato, spinach and red onion frittata! More confinement cooking! This recipe is from Caroline Artiss Beauty Foods. I found it in an old copy of Good Housekeeping. Going through old magazines and tearing out the recipes. Just one of my fun confinement jobs! What have you been wanting to do for ages and finally have time to do? This frittata was very tasty and just as good served cold the next day! #confinementcooking
It’s the time of year that we can find wild garl It’s the time of year that we can find wild garlic or ail d’ours growing in the hedgerows, beside the ditches and around the edges of fields. During your confinement daily exercise why not take a bag and pick some. The smell is divine and making pesto with these delicate leaves is so easy! Here’s my recipe - I added extra garlic as an immune booster! Wild Garlic Pesto 5 - 6 good handfuls of wild garlic leaves Extra virgin olive oil 2 garlic cloves - crushed 50 - 100g pine nuts (you could try other nuts, hazelnuts would be nice) 75g - 100g freshly grated or roughly chopped parmesan Black pepper Whizz up the wild garlic leaves, pine nuts, chopped garlic cloves and parmesan in a food processor or crush in a pestle and mortar, season with black pepper and add extra virgin olive oil to form a thick paste. . . #wildgarlic #aildours #wildgarlicpesto

Without undermining the seriousness of what the world has been hit with - the one thing that is so important is keeping in touch and being social. The latest trend to take France by storm is the ‘Virtual Apero Time’.

My last lunch before confinement in France. Little My last lunch before confinement in France. Little did we know, whilst sitting eating, chatting and laughing in the sunshine beside the snowy piste in Les Gets, that this would be our last day of freedom and life as we know it for a while. Thank goodness I got to taste this delicious brownie with Piémont hazelnuts and vanilla ice cream at Le Bacchus at Crychar hotel in Les Gets. Stay safe and well everyone - I’m cooking my way through this confinement in France, what are you doing?

I recently enjoyed a tasting menu created by Michelin starred chef Jon Marsden Jones in collaboration with the talented resident chefs at Ferme Montagne - Valentine and Jesse. Jon Marsden Jones worked at the Ferme de Montagne from 2013 - 2015 and came back for a series of ‘pop up’ evenings working with the current team of chefs. The results were stunning - all coming on Taste of Savoie very soon. For now here is one of my favourite desserts I’ve ever tasted!
