the tarte tatin – my autumn favourite

When the apples are freshly picked and the temperatures begin to drop, we reach for our favorite comfort food, the tarte tatin.

I love making tarte tatin, or upside down apple tart. I love to eat tarte tatin too! The mix of freshly picked apples, cooked in butter and sugar and then baked beneath a pastry crust is a heavenly combination.

philippe dubreuil & french garden design

The best thing about having created My French Country Home is the many talented people I get to meet. From artists, to writers, to photographers, to cooks… and sometimes also garden designers. I just love garden design!

les grandes vacances – a perfect french customized

As soon as I first arrived in France – many, many moons prior to now – the month of August, for lots of the nation, meant each half was closed. “Fermé pour vacances!” was the sign posted on all the doorways of the boulangeries, butchers, flower retailers and completely different necessary outlets. Les Grandes Vacances had been thought-about sacred.
