The windmill in Blaignan
通过mimithorisson
两天前,我们驱车穿过葡萄园,看到了布莱尼安-梅多克最壮观的景色。Millions of golden yellow flowers drizzled all over the growing vineyards,为了增加节目内容,中间有一座漂亮的旧风车。It was a picture perfect moment,but as my husband had forgotten his camera,我们决定第二天早上回来。
我们回到了美丽的地方,和我们心爱的狐狸犬天空一起走过葡萄园。She's our most joyful dog,so it suited her to run through the yellow field of dreams without a care in the world.我们正好赶上,工人们正在摘花,补片补片。一个必要的程序,以防止花和根干扰藤蔓。哦,好吧,at least we enjoyed the last of it!!
让我们的美丽时刻更加特别,我们撞见了Château Tour Haut-Caussan,Mr.FabienCour.。The Courrian family have lived in Blaignan-Médoc since 1634.Fabien greeted us so warmly,told wonderful stories,and gave us a tour of the fully functional family windmill (it was restored in 1981),followed by a visit to the château.What I loved most about the château/ family home is the warmth it exudes.你能感觉到笑声,这个紧密团结的家庭,尤其是它的所有者的慷慨。Fabien was very proud to show us his open table,他向来访的朋友和客户打招呼。If you are lucky,会有好吃的等着你,an entrecôte grilling in the fireplace or a rustic stew. What an idyllic life!Wine,食物,朋友,a château and a windmill – a dream come true and an inspiration for all.We left his home with a case of wine,a generous gift from Fabien.The windmill is on every label,就像一个家庭徽章。我告诉我丈夫生活就像电影里的一样,and we're right in it!!
When we arrived home,孩子们焦急地等着我岳母跳进游泳池。We set a table in the garden,and I rushed in the kitchen to make a perfect starter dish after our little vineyard visit.A vignarola,in other words a spring vegetable stew.新鲜蚕豆,豌豆,洋蓟,葱西芹,mint and a dash of pancetta (or guanciale) are the ingredients for this delightful Roman dish.事实上,事实上,这道菜叫维纳罗拉(vignarola)。豇豆属,vine in Italian) because all the vegetables were known to be grown in between rows of Roman grapevines.As they had to be picked to give the vines space to grow,维诺拉配方诞生了。At least that is what I heard from my Roman friends.当我们走过Fabien Courrian的葡萄园时,he plucked a few tender spring onions from the vines.We tasted a few,raw and fresh from the earth.’最好蒸着吃,加醋,就像芦笋!他说。
For the main course,I made my family's favorite chicken dish.Roast chicken with crème fraîche,大蒜,葱和香草。我喜欢食谱的简单。The result is the softest,juiciest chicken,充满了法国乡村厨房的所有香味。Who would have known that crème fraîche could work such magic in the oven.
After a beautiful lunch al fresco,we enjoyed a family gardening day – Wednesday afternoons are leisure days,because the kids don't have school.我喜欢这个没有休息的日子,making us feel that the school week is slightly shorter.我们种了更多的玫瑰,薰衣草,西红柿,草莓,herbs and camelias.I am especially excited about the tomato crops,因为他们去年非常成功。我们都给自己补充了营养。格米奥梅尔,金棕色的蜂蜜蛋糕,so old-fashioned,用橙花水熏制的香水。
那是一个神奇的日子,好像夏天来春天玩了一会儿。我现在能想到的只有风车和温暖,充满欢乐的日子等待着我们。This week was a sneak preview and I must say it's looking good.

Bonjour Rowaida!Thank you for your kindness!很高兴听到你下周要为你的晚餐做这些菜。丰胸鱼片绝对可爱,只要调整一下烹饪时间——我可能会建议把鱼片打开,中间加点奶油——这样肉就会更嫩。Vignarola is my favorite roman starter,我去罗马时,one of the first restaurants i go to is ‘Al Moro' (near the Trevi fountain) – I am in love with that place,and their vignarola is excellent!Merci,mimix

我想做你们夏天的炖菜,但是我是素食主义者,所以需要代替煎饼。作为替代方案,你有什么建议??
谢谢您!Amy
Bonsoir Amy!Thanks for visiting!不是煎饼,我建议加入烤蘑菇,或者几块芹菜——它肯定会给炖菜增加一点味道。I hope this helps!波恩苏尔,米米克斯

Mimi,这些图像很可爱,你的作品很有诗意!I also love your blue shirt-dress,你能告诉我它来自哪里吗?Bon journée from Burgundy.
哎呀,Mimi I meant to ask about the shirtdress from the artichoke lunch 🙂 xx
Bonjour Milena!Thank you for dropping by!这样的好话,so encouraging.My shirt dress is from A.P.C.Bonne journée,米米克斯
It's amazing but I felt so happy reading this post – I think hearing about the warm generosity of Fabien Courrian and how well met you were – I really felt the pleasure and energy of both your families come through the post.谢谢您!!
Bonjour from sunny Médoc!Every person I have met that knows Fabien and his family say the same 威廉希尔高尔夫球thing – he's the kindest person on earth!我很高兴这个帖子让你开心!米米克斯
Mimi,have you ever tried this recipe over a turkey instead of chicken?Obviously I realize you would have to double or triple the ingredients but thought it might be tasty for our American Thanksgiving this year.
我想知道火鸡的脂肪是否相同或多或少,所以我必须调整一下食谱。
嗨,拉蒂西亚,,
不,我没有。I am sure it's really good – turkey has a little less fat than chicken,but with all that cream and herbs,那里没有烦恼!Perhaps you could add a bit more cream?Have a lovely thanksgiving!Mimi x
Hi Mimi,,
我喜欢你的蜂蜜蛋糕食谱,it's so delicious!我想知道,如果我提前一天准备上菜,会怎么样?我不确定它会怎样保存……谢谢!🙂
Bonsoir Nastasya!Oh yes,it can keep for up to 4-5 days in a cool environment – just put the honey glaze on last minute.Enjoy 🙂 Mimi x
Médoc is beautiful!as is your food.我很高兴做蜂蜜蛋糕。
Thank you for the lovely William Hill斯诺克recipes and pictures!!
[…] one that I have made has been perfect: rustic,放纵的,极其奢侈的。I've had her spring vegetable stew (La Vignarola) bookmarked for well over 6 months now,上周终于有机会做了。[…]
Your blog looks wonderful and your anecdotes and photos have resolved me to have a meandering holiday in the Medoc,我对法国的一个地区完全陌生。
你的食谱令William Hill斯诺克人鼓舞,many with unusual touches.However… this afternoon tried your honey cake.我不知道“蛋糕模具”在美国英语中是不是指没有可移动底座的罐头,但我用的是带有推出底座的蛋糕罐头(不是弹簧模)。Result?大部分的混合物最后都放在烤箱的底部——并不理想。面糊相当有流动性,但与我从配方中预料的差不多,and I'm sure I followed it pretty closely.I hope this is down to using the wrong type of cake tin (in which case you should amend the recipe) because I'm intending trying your garlic soup and the roast chicken with creme fraiche for starter and main course.
Bonsoir John,哦,不,我能想象当你看到烤箱底部的面糊时你脸上的表情!Could your cake tin be a bit on the loose side?I would suggest to use a classic cake tin,用羊皮纸衬里。享受食谱,it's delicious!Mimi x
邦索尔mimithorisson
Sorry for late reply;不,cake tin not loose.不知道发生了什么事。我剩下一个大约1/2-3/4英寸高的蛋糕!Tasted quite nice but suspect it was overcooked.大蒜汤很好喝,肯定会再来的。We went to Calais on Friday (mainly for cheap booze) but,among other foodstuffs,bought a lovely corn-fed Poulet Fermier which I used for the roast chicken.确实非常好,但是我想我应该用一个简单的食谱,你只要用香草就行了——我怀疑奶油色掩盖了鸡肉真正的味道,这在英国几乎是不可能找到的(也许是哈罗德斯,但离这儿很远,有点贵,even if I could afford to,我原则上不会在那里购物)。
不管怎样,nice to chat and thanks;试试你的其他食谱,William Hill斯诺克,
John
你好,Mimi!我试过维格纳罗拉,味道很好!谢谢你的菜谱。
不过有两个问题:
–你认为有可能用另一种不是猪肉的肉来代替薄煎饼吗?干鸭蛆??
– For how many persons are the ingredients you listed?我打算把这道菜做为7人晚餐的开胃菜,我真的不知道豌豆和豆子的数量……尤其是豆荚里的时候,来自市场。At the end there is only 10% of bought weight remaining…!!
谢谢你的帮助!!!
Bonjour Mimi,
J'ai essayé pour la première fois des recettes de ton blog.Le poulet rôti à la crème fraîche et le gâteau au miel un franc succès!!你的博客真是太完美了!I am very excited about this new discovery!我肯定会把你的食谱加在我的常规烹饪清单上。顺便说一句,it is really appreciated that you put the metric and imperial measurments for your ingredients!谢谢你分享所有的想法,William Hill斯诺克食谱,图片和生活瞬间。
你好,Mimi!高中毕业后,my friends and I are going on a vacation to Europe and wanted to do some planning over dinner.I decided that we should make this chicken after reading your blog for years.我害怕这样做,因为这是我第一次做不是意大利面食或鸡蛋的食物,but it turned out as delicious as I had hoped!!我为此感到骄傲,第二天我的朋友们还在谈论这件事,我肯定会再次做到。Thanks for an amazing recipe that was as easy to make as it was tasty!!(这也让我想起了过去在法国生活的时光!)!!)
Those tomatoes are jewels!我正好在做肉汤,在陶罐里加了几勺肉汤,加一点儿羊奶盐水,把热度调低了一点,发现我比鸟儿更喜欢香草奶油炸酱……不停地把它和面包一起吸。Happy adventures to you!!
