There’s just something about France. Between the history, culture and landscapes lies a certain type of culinary romance which is hard for me to describe. Maybe it’s because it’s the place where I first discovered my passion for wine and how it has the power to not just enhance, but enliven food!
I was in my 20’s, when my best friend, Charlotte, and I decided to head to France for vacation during our summer break. It’s a long story (like the entire chapter 4 of my latest book, Kitchen Gypsy), but I had received an invitation to have lunch at Chateau Mouton Rothschild. Imagine two young twenty-four year olds from the States, who thought that wine was basically white, red or pink, were suddenly packing our Diane Von Furstenberg dresses and matching espadrilles and heading to one of the most renowned wineries in the world! It was life-changing! Literally- I returned to the U.S, and shortly thereafter, decided to go to cooking school.
Come join me this summer!
I’m heading back to Bordeaux for the first time since that memorable lunch, on a fabulous river cruise!
I’ve teamed up with AmaWaterways to offer space for my food and wine-loving friends for this very special weeklong sailing on the “Taste of Bordeaux – Culinary Cruise*”.
Our itinerary will take us through the Bordeaux region of France, one of the undisputed premier wine areas in the world. Iconic chateaux, timeless vineyards and wine tastings along with regional delicacies await as we make our leisurely way down the Garonne and Dordogne rivers.
