Food, glorious food!
I love food passionately. It's in my genes. Coming from the South West of France, I suppose it's no surprise!
In my family, cooking and eating are a religion! I must pay tribute to my parents and grand parents who brought me and my brothers up in the daily enjoyment of glorious food.
And so I keep the family tradition going for my husband and boys, family and friends. I simply can't keep away from the stove!!
At Les Bons Vivants, you will experience real French dining in a cosy, intimate environment, from fine French china, silverware and table linen to the food in your plate cooked with love and care with local & whenever possible organic ingredients.
What goes in your plate
is home-made and freshly cooked : bread, sausages, biscuits and sweet nibbles, preserves, amuse-bouches, chocolates, ice cream etc.
If I can't make it, I'll get it from someone local or someone in France who has passed my very stringent quality test!
My trusted suppliers are:
- Brunswick Organic Nursery in Bishopthorpe
- butchers Tony Neary in Clifton and Richardsons of Woodthorpe
- Cross of York the fishmongers
- my garden!
