Friends have a couple of pigs. They’ve plunged into life in France head-first; a tumbledown, do-er-up-er farm house in the middle of nowhere; kids, chickens, veg plot, pigs. It’s good to have a challenge... I’ve volunteered to help them dispose of the bodies...

I've given up the day job. Three years as a Charcutier and it's time for a new challenge. I'm a businessman now! I’ve decided to launch myself as a cuisinier à domicile – a private chef. My plan is to cook for other people like I cook for myself. On a classy...

Vegetarian friends have come to stay for the week, which pretty much makes me a vegetarian. For the week. They’ve picked a good time to come. We’re into late spring and there’s plenty of nice stuff about. The asparagus has already peaked, but there’s been...

Boudin Noir

Every so often, on my trudge to work in the half light, I remember to look up. The looming panorama of Pyrenees never fails to give a little surge of pleasure which sits giddily with my early morning grumpiness. Sometimes I remember that I mustn’t miss...

I’ve recently stumbled across toilet reading. I wasn’tmorally opposed. It just seemed unnecessary: what could be more relaxing thanhaving a good old poo? Why supersize the experience? (I have dabbled in privy guitarplaying – because Jimmy Hendrix supposedly...

I went fishing again on Monday; a pastime that has the abilityto make me feel uniquely foolish. In spite of this – or maybe even because ofit – I came home with a couple of beauties! The grey mullet looks like a softy. Seaweed eating, with bigrubbery lips,...

Seville oranges are in the market. It’s time to makemarmalade. The season is short so it’s now or next year. I’m not a big fan ofmarmalade – or any jam – on toast, but Dot is, and I think it’s cool so I liketo make it. This attitude has got me into trouble...

There is the odd perk to my job. This does not include having hands that do dishes feel as soft as my face (with 24hrs of stubble). No, I get to eat what the boss throws away! Honestly, this is a good thing... Mind you, my boss doesn't throw much away....
