Its that time of year when it seems the whole of the UK leave our little island and set off for foreign lands. It is also time when foodies like me start to think of exotic recipes and new summer tastes.
For me it is the South of France, the promise of fresh seafood, local vegetables and outdoor eating which always enhances the food experience.
For me the taste of the South of France is Moules Mariniere. Fresh mussels cooked in garlic, onions, white wine and cream. Served with crusty baguette it is the simplest of lunches, one that my daughter loves although she likes the frites they always seem to serve it with in holiday resorts.
Other dishes I associate with my French summers are Soup d'Poisson, Boeuf Bourguignon and salade nicoise. All french classics and big hits with the whole family. This website is great for french recipes http://www.my-french-house.com/recipes/ and the site name really gets me in the mood for holidays. Where we stay is situated in the hills looking out across a valley. It has an outside kitchen on a terrace, with table and chairs and space for the kids to play. Why do the French get it so right when it comes to family life, family holidays and in particular family meals.
Share your holiday food experiences, particularly if you are as passionate about the food as I am.
