Other Auvergne Adventures

My friend Marlene normally buzzes around like a busy bee and when you see what she's been up to the last 3 years, well, you'll take your hat off to her. (Seen here in her Food Studio with 2 of our French Friends)

She renovated a lovely old house in the Medieval Village of Charroux with lots of help from our dear friend Charl Mouton and his Capey team, 18 km's from our humble abode here in the Auvergne, then she started with cooking courses at her home here in Charroux (something she's
been doing in Cape Town for a number of years), brought out a first cookbook called Delectable : Food from Rural France to Urban Cape, renovated a beautiful old place in Green Point Cape Town (again lots of help from Charl) to create the 'Food Studio' and brought out a next cookbook with photographer friend Gerda Genis,
Sumptuous : Food from the heart of France to the Cape, allready on the bestsell
er list in South Africa!

In both of her books, Aux Jardins des Thevenets has a chapter and with this I shall give you a tiny peep of what was said and done in Sumptuous...










Visit her website : http://www.foodstudio.co.za/ and why not join one of her cooking courses!

Life is about sharing!
