Delightful dinners

With the warm weather and lazy days we decided we’d enjoy some laid back dinners this week. The first a simple cheese board with some rather delicious French cheeses, accompanied by fresh figs, locally grown tomatoes and a fresh baguette.

The wine was a local Chardonnay, produced about an hours drive away. It’s a bit of a favourite for us at the moment.

Robyn obviously couldn’t visit us without enjoying a bottle from our local producer, Robert Grandpierre. Their Blanc de Blanc is a light, floral wine, perfect for a summers evening.

And why not enjoy it with a homemade burger, flavoured with herbes de Provence, topped with deliciously fresh salad, and a melted slice of Brie de Mieux.

On Thursday we enjoyed a dinner out with friends, a simply delightful evening catching up and sharing stories of our summertime adventures.

Last night we went to L’Union, which is our favourite restaurant in the area. It never disappoints, and we have never eaten the same meal twice there. Their commitment to flavour and seasonal food is aspirational.
