This Saturday table is typical- too much food bought by hungry eyes at the weekly market at Nerac. Tricia Robinson (Taste of Provence) trains over from Nice for a Gascon weekend and we celebrate the first fall oysters, cheese from Salers, a jambon glacee, pate de canard, ripe figs, a decent loaf of bread. What a good life! Saturday chores were never like this.

Oh, Kate, your blog is wonderful! It brings back all those fabulous memories of the 6 weeks we lived in your little stone farmhouse in 2000. We'll never forget that!
Come stay at our new house on San Juan Island, north of Seattle. It's right on the sea coast where the killer whales swim and eat, and we have oysters, wild salmon and dungeness crab. We'd love to see you and share our Northwest food.
Dear Suzy, I'll be coming to Seattle next March for the IACP conference and will defintely make plans for a visit! I sued to live on Lopez myself and look forward to a return to that corner of the US.In the meantime, I am off to a Gascon wedding and will have much to tell about that!

French Days at Camont
NEW! Maisons Sud Ouest writes about us!
Take a look over at the Relais de Camont site for a glimpse of Camont and the Julia Hoyt as photographed by French magazine, Maisons Sud Ouest. Mais oui, c'est chouette!
Ste. Colombe-en-Bruilhois, Lot-et-Garonne, Gascony, France
I learned to cook from the ground up in Gascony—from the potager, orchard, river, and field. Barns and silos join Michelin-starred restaurants as treasured culinary destinations. The weekly umbrella-ed gatherings huddled on Saturday mornings, rain or shine, are my ‘meet’ market and a source of some of the best cooks in France, the farmers and artisan food producers. My Kitchen-at-Camont is a beacon of good cooking in a long hungry village.

Sara, Texas Pete's red hot sauce- an old Gascon remedy for too much foie gras!
