I am just loving this, Kate. Each week something that I look forward to, always bringing deeper insight into Gascony and the journey of one who has chosen to live there. Brava!

Kate, I loved your story of the French table. Especially the image of 1000’s of families and friends gathered around French tables from 12 to 2, not rushing, just enjoying each other and the Food.

I am a grateful paid subscriber and I am wondering how to easily access the recipe archives. I am anxious to see the roast chicken recipe but can not find it as I poke around. How do I go directly to the recipes?Thank you,

Rebecca

Hello Rebecca! For the moment the easiest way to access the two recipe previous recipe files is by going to the Finding France navigation tab on my home page and you will see all the memoir posts in one place- https://katehillfrance.substack.com/t/finding-france as I post the third file next week, there ill be a separate Recipe Archive tab available then. Thank you for your continued support!

I just asked the farmer I’ve recently ordered my chickens from if they could provide such a thing as an old hen!! So incredibly difficult here in the states. And to my mind sad and unfortunate. As are the flavorless chickens! Sputter, fie, corporate farming be damned.

What a gift to share so many meals at such a table. I can picture it all.

I do believe in the "Holy Table". I a think of no other more satisfying ritual than eating, drinking talking with friends and/or family.

Thank you for this inspiration.
