International Champagne Day - Revisit Champagne with Cynthia Coutu and Kyla Kirkpatrick

Fabulously Delicious, The French Food Podcast, is a delectable journey into the world of French cuisine. In this episode we are celebrating International Champagne Day which is the 4th Friday of October every year.

I've done two episodes on Champagne so far on Fabulously Delicious, one with the Champagne Dame Kyla Kirkpatrick and the other with the fabulous Cynthia Coutu.

So I thought to celebrate all things champagne I'd let these two experts on the topic tell us about champagne the region and drink and women in champagne.

International Chef Day - Revisit Chat with Bruno Feldeisen

Fabulously Delicious, The French Food Podcast, is a delectable journey into the world of French cuisine. In this episode, I'm revisiting my chat with Bruno Feldeisen which I did in season 2.

The reason for this revisit is to celebrate International Chef Day which is today. Bruno is a French chef who now lives in Canada and many would know him as the judge on the Great Canadian Baking Show.

Bruno has a great love of the kitchen and food and sometimes often controversial views on many things. I hope you enjoy this revisit.

Update on all things Fabulously Delicious

Update on all things Fabulously Delicious

I wanted to give you a little update on everything here in France, Montmorillon, life, tours, cooking experiences, new projects and the podcast I’ve been getting lots of emails and DMs recently so I thought we’d have a quick chat about everything.

Fabulously Delicious is now a part of the Evergreen Podcast network. I went to the London Podcast festival back in May and met the guys at Evergreen there and gave them some tips for Paris restaurants as one of the team was heading there next. Since then I’ve now been fortunate to join a network that has some amazing podcasts in it like The French History Podcast and Le Siecle. The partnership with Evergreen will mean that they will in the future be able to help with the growth and management of Fabulously Delicious and that will mean this French food podcast we all know and love will hopefully get a larger loving audience. Evergreen has already helped me with new artwork for the show and episodes which I love.

100th Episode - Celebrating The Food Of Montmorillon

Montmorillon is a town that we found when searching for a home in the French countryside and we did find one here in the center ville. This town has many fabulous things, the Wednesday markets, Summertime guigenettes along the river gartempe and wonderful people inhabiting it.

But it also has the Montmorillon macaron. This macaron is made with almonds and instead of looking like the macarons found in Paris patisseries. But the Montmorillon macaron looks more like a macaroon that’s usually made with coconut.

Coming from Italy to France by Catherine de Medici in the 16th century the macaron recipe has changed and evolved since then with around France different versions of the macaron

Macarons, Macaroons, and Macron - What's the Difference?

If you're a fan of French cuisine or just have a sweet tooth, you may have come across the word "macaron" before. But what exactly is a macaron, and what's the difference between it and a macaroon or even a Macron?

In the first episode of Fabulously Delicious, we talked to pastry chef Molly Wilkinson about all things macarons. According to Molly, a macaron is a delicate, sandwich-like cookie made of two almond-based meringue shells with a filling in the middle. The shells are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, and they come in a variety of flavors and colors.

On the other hand, a macaroon is a denser, coconut-based cookie that is typically made with shredded coconut, egg whites, sugar, and vanilla extract. It's often dipped in chocolate and has a more rustic texture than a macaron.
