And we’re back!
Yes, it’s been a few days, but we are back from our trip to the snow fields, healthy, happy and thoroughly exhausted! While I have not been able to post, the cooking has continued as promised. I have a few recipes to share with you tonight and a few more to come over the coming…
In need of a little comfort food?
Well it was a treacherous road in the Tour last night. Wet. Miserable. Dangerous. After experiencing three crashes in two days, Stage 5 forced the retirement of the defending Champion, Chris Froome, amongst a day of carnage and mayhem on the wet cobblestone roads of Northern France. I think the whole peloton could do with…
Hello France! Gaufres de Lille
If you watched the episode of Taste le Tour last night I bet you were hoping that Gabriel was going to give you the recipe for those delectable Meert Waffles, weren’t you? Well, don’t despair! As delish as Gabriel’s mousse and prawn dish looked, my focus this evening has been recreating the Meert (or Lille)…
I think I am crazy…
It’s a double-header tonight – Steak and Ale Pie with Hot Water Crust Pastry and Mushy Peas and a Treacle Tart! Well almost! I got through the cooking part okay, but the blogging part, not so much. I’ve posted the recipes for the Steak and Ale Pie, Hot Water Crust Pastry and Mushy Peas, but…

Day Two of the Tour sees us heading from York to Sheffield. Now, I know the obvious recipe that springs to mind is Yorkshire Pudding, but I don’t like to be too predictable! Parkin is the English equivalent of the Cassoulet or the Pavlova in terms of a hotly contested point of origin. In true…
Roasted Rhubarb and Vanilla Bean Crumble with Almonds and Vanilla Bean Custard
Hello! So if the crowds lining the streets are anything to go by I think it is safe to say that the Tour kick off in Leeds has been a resounding success! So too, was my inaugural solo recipe for Roasted Rhubarb Crumble! A simple, toothsome dessert that proves that sometimes the old-fashioned ingredients really…
Okay, time to strap in!
Where did the last month go? We’ve had the World Cup, Wimbledon and suddenly it seems we find ourselves on the eve of the Great Race. It seems that for some, too much sport is never enough! Oh well, at least I can cook my way through this one! Are you prepared to embark on…
One month to go…
Yes, my friends, on the 5th July 2014 we will start the gastronomic journey that is le Tour de France all over again. Last year, my goal was to keep up with Gabriel Gaté as he cooked his way through le Tour on behalf of SBS (a local TV station here in Australia), trying out…
And finally, the Taste le Tour Recipe Round Up
Well, it’s taken a while for me to find the time to stop and go over everything I cooked in the culinary whirlwind that was Gabriel Gaté’s Taste le Tour for 2013. Looking back I still can’t quite believe that I managed to cook 21 different dishes in 21 days while still getting through everything…
