I also love all of them, so I cannot vote. The only thing I really don't like are lentils but they are not vegs, they are pulses, aren't they?

Thanks for the compliment. Once you have lived in France for 18+ years, your French will probably be very good too. :icon_smile: I have to admit that my written French is far from being as good as my written English and I need the spelling check big time!! I was always rubbish at school anyway with ...

I don't know if I could ever be sick of sweet cakes actually... I am just a piggy who LOVES her food way too much!!

I love those recipes and I should cut an paste in my word doc as I have some courgettes in the garden which are soon going to be too many to cope with... Here are a couple more recipes which I didn't see here yet: A New Zealander friend gave me this one a few years back. COURGETTE SAVOURY CAKE 150 g...

Hi, I've been in Brittany for about 6 years now. I just had to look up where exactly the Sologne is :iconbiggrin: - think we passed through that area when we were heading back from hols down around the Pyrenees in the spring and had a last night in Blois. :iconbiggrin: Blois is definitely part of S...

I bet I will be coming here with all type of questions as we get going ...

Aha I wondered if there was a French connection there! :iconbiggrin: Salut et bienvenue :wave: Salut et merci :icon_smile: Sologne is certainly not the most famous French place for British visitors, but as you live in Brittany you would have heard of it. Saying that a lot of Brits go on holiday in ...

Don't talk to my husband about weather forecast. He does wonders why I bother looking at it... This week it was supposed to rain everyday, well we barely got one drop and I ended up watering my poor thirsty garden last night after days of hoping it would be done by the heavens... I would be better o...

Hi everybody! :icon_smile: Time to introduce myself: I am French and I have lived in the UK for over 18 years. I am now in Berkshire, but I 1st arrived in London. I came from a small farm in a small village in the center of France, in the region called Sologne, and I just couldn’t wait to live in th...

I just had a look on my PC and I cannot find my recipe of cordial from last year. All I remember is about putting the cloves in the bottles at the end... But I am sure I have used a recipe just like the one mentioned by Millymollymandy. I don't mind if it is a bit too sweet as I tend to put lots of ...

Hi there! I just joined and I must say that I swear by Elderberry cordial since last year when I did my 1st batch. I had some everyday through the entire winter and I never got a single cold! 1st time in my life I never got a cold!! I put some cloves in it for good keeping so I think the combination...
