Cassoulet with Sylvie Bigar

Where is it from the cassoulet? Well, that's a really good question because depending on who you ask, you're gonna get a different answer. I mean, in general, I think everybody agrees that the cassoulet which you know we need maybe to stay exactly what is it?

International food and travel writer Sylvie Bigar was born in Geneva, Switzerland, and is based in New York City. She is fluent in French, English, and Italian. Sylvie co-authored Chef Daniel Boulud's definitive and personal cookbook, Daniel: My French Cuisine. Sylvie's many adventures have led her to explore the childhood home and native French province of Colette, her favorite author; the apple orchards of Ireland, the banks of the Oum Er-Rbia River in Morocco, the remote Swiss village of Mund with its seductive saffron, the Austro-Hungarian culinary revival in Prague, and Southwestern France on a long-time quest for the perfect cassoulet.

Today’s topic on Fabulously Delicious is all about the cassoulet and we will find out what’s in it, where’s it from, variations of and its origin story.

Women of Champagne with Cynthia Coutu

The other thing that Cynthia Coutu learned at Wine School or realized was just how male-dominated the wine industry is in France. So that's why she ended up specializing in champagnes made by women. 

Cynthia Coutu is a 50-something Canadian, living in Paris. She has three passions, people, wine, and travel. Learning about wine has opened up so many doors and windows for Cynthia. Now Cynthia shares her passion for Champagne with people from around the world on one of her fabulous tours.

But also there are currently a lot of fabulous women in the industry as well so that’s why I’ve devoted a whole episode to the subject.

I wanted to change it up a little bit on Fabulously Delicious. Each week I’ve been bringing you delicious episodes revolving around a specific topic. We’ve had Cantal cheese, Confit de canard, and Burgundy wines to name a few, and then we’ve gotten to know the guests who are experts on the topic. But in season one I had the pleasure of chatting with renowned chefs like Phillip Tesser and Gabriel Gate. So I wanted to dive a bit into chef life and bring you a different Fabulously Delicious episode.
