Welcome! Here you will find the links for the recipes I have selected for the 2014 Tour de France ‘Dish a Day’ Challenge. Day by day each link will become active, bringing to you my selected regional specialties from both England and France. These dishes will be either traditional recipes of the regions visited on the particular race day or they will use ingredients irrevocably linked to the areas visited (Reims for Champagne anyone?)
I hope you enjoy watching as the recipes unfold and if I can motivate you to give one a go, all the better!
