Cabicou goat cheese

With the festive season truly in full swing preparing food for entertaining is very much part of our day. The Dordogne produces excellent Cabicou goat cheese and combined with spinach in pastry parcels makes a tasty nibble to accompany drinks.

Walnut tart

The Perigord region is famed for various foods among which are walnuts. Drive through the verdant valleys of the Perigord Noir and you cannot help but be struck by the majestic groves of walnut trees that grace the landscape. The walnut has played a prominent role in the local culture and commerce. At this time of year there is the delight of eating the wonderful walnut tart.

The year of the pine cone

This year I have definitely taken to the pine cone theme as there are so many quick and easy ways to use them in Christmas decorations. Yesterday was again beautiful after a misty, frosty start and the woodland was a delight. Les Faures is always peaceful . I never tire of the place.
