Welcome to French Living Diaries.....

Shortly after my book Come to the Table was published I was invited to write a column for the Nottingham Evening Post. They were articles designed to bring families back again around the table. I have posted some of these articles as a taster and introduction to the French Living experience. Not surprisingly most feature my two children, Nina (12) and Pierre (9) as they are a great source of foodie inspiration.
Some centre around our business adventures. For example, back in October 2006 our café expanded into the next door unit inspiring a couple of articles - Fresh Fast-Food and Café Food.
We're also currently going through a traumatic time with a house build project in Corsica. So watch this space for some unbelievable Corsican tales.....

Bonne Fete Maman!

French Living has never before opened on a Sunday, however on Sunday 3rd April French Living will open its doors to participate in the Mother's Day celebrations.
Just to make life very difficult for all Frenchmen living in England, the Fetes des Meres date is completely different in France. They celebrate on the 29th May. As you can imagine this generates awkward telephone conversations when "Bonne Fete Maman" is lovingly announced two months early, even worse when no kind words are forthcoming on the big day.
Maybe French Living should have two celebrations!
