Farm to Table a la Gascogne

Hometown Ideas from the French Kitchen

With Kate Hill

The Canal Lateral a la Garonne winds its way through some of France's loveliest countryside, the source of foie gras, strawberries, mushrooms, wild game, and other delicacies prized throughout Europe. Dotted along the canal, medieval villages offer traditional patisseries, shops and markets that one dreams of finding on a French vacation. This is Southwestern France, the region that Kate Hill has made her home for the last 16 plus years.

Kate Hill - cook, traveler, and author - runs her own canal-side cooking school in Gascony where she shares her knowledge of the local foods. She has written a book of recipes and local tales, A Culinary Journey in Gascony.

Kate will join us in December for a very special cooking class. We have recently added this class to the calendar; it is not in the printed catalog. So, mark your calendar now for a special treat for cooks and armchair travelers alike.
