Taste of France

This week’s newsletter announces the following:

There is a lively late-summer spirit running through this edition, from Alpine gin with a distinctly Scottish accent to Dijon’s markets, mustard and Burgundy wines. We meet James Abbott, the Scotsman distilling boutique spirits in the French Alps, before heading to one of France’s great food cities, where blackcurrants, gingerbread and fine dining prove there is far more to Dijon than its famous mustard. In the kitchen, Manon Lagrève’s ratatouille quiche turns a childhood favourite into a seasonal savoury tart, while brûléed figs with beetroot, endive, blue cheese and walnut pistou capture the warm, heady flavours of Provence as summer begins to soften into autumn.

Bon appetit!
