Notes about Recipes in this book

  • 'Le cake' aux olives et au Reblochon

    • blintz on January 07, 2015

      Delicious--- with or without the pancetta. It's better in smaller loaf pans because it's so very rich. Freezes very well. Perfect appetizer to pull out of the freezer, heat up, and slice/toast for company.

  • Crisp roast duck with olives

    • wodtke on October 07, 2014

      This works reasonably well, but be sure to read the comments. As one commenter says, the recipe would result in very overdone duck if followed. I followed the commenter's suggestion, with the addition of 7 minutes at 450 breast down to crisp up the lower half of the bird. All in all, I'm not sure this adds anything to a straight-forward roast at 325.

Publishers Text

Who among us has not dreamed of leaving the rat race behind to follow our heart's desire--and who among us has actually taken that leap of faith? Orlando Murrin, a former journalist and cook, did exactly that when he gave up his life in London to open a gourmet bed-and-breakfast with his partner in southwestern France. A Table in the Tarn is Murrin's intimate account of how he painstakingly transformed the simple 19th-century Manoir de Raynaudes into a celebrated gastronomic destination. Beautifully written and photographed, this cookbook and food memoir includes more than 80 recipes for the Anglo-French dishes that have brought the Manoir acclaim, along with tales of the extraordinary people and gorgeous countryside of the unspoiled Tarn Valley. A feast for food lovers and Francophiles alike, A Table in the Tarn is a truly evocative story of life in a rural paradise.
