Menu in the making

Sorry I have not put up the menu yet, I have had a busy week working in Cannes doing everything from catering to cleaning!  We have got two very beautiful “shabby chic” apartments in Le Suquet Cannes and have had a mad rush to get them ready for movie type people who are renting them from us.  A few teething problems were quickly ironed out and we now have very happy tennants! So happy in fact they have invited us along to the premiere of their new movie showing tonight in Cannes.  So with friends in tow, all dressed up in “glad-rags,” Cannes it will be tonight.

We are keeping everything crossed for the weather next Friday as our favorite place to party is at the end of our garden in Chateuneuf. Wayne, the scene-setter, will be hard at work from Wednesday ordering the staff (photo) around.  I will be putting the final touches to the menu and hopefully will post it tomorrow.  Bye for now and have a great Saturday! x

If your names not down ….

Sorry for falling off the radar but life has been 100 mph lately but the good news is we have another supper party date.  But not just any old supper party it’s during Cannes Film Festival and it’s being filmed!  Weather permitting it will be a candle lit dinner in our garden, maximum 28 people and the dress code will be “dressy!”  Can’t give too many details but sounds like it should be a lot of fun!  The date is going to be Friday 21st May.  I will post the menu as soon as I have written it but in the meantime you would like to come to come just let me know.

Booking’s for next weekend

The bookings have started to come in for next weekend which is great. Please let me know as soon as possible if you would like to book Friday or Saturday.  I have been asked a lot about payment and I know what the Brit’s are like about “doing the right thing!” So I am going to give a guide as people want to know.  So for next weekend guide will be 30 Euros.  It will vary as the cost and hours of cooking vary too.  Can’t wait to get started on this menu, my kind of food!

April 23rd & Saturday 24th

We reckon if this doesn’t get your taste buds going then nothing will! The biggest challenge with the homemade truffles is stopping Wayne and the children eating them all as fast as I can make them!

A day of rest

Well I think it went well! I have met some new friends, laughed a lot and today is Sunday.  Time to get out my deckchair, hit a wonderful French beach and put my feet up. Can’t wait to start writing the menu for the next supper club!

Sat up too late with friends!

In a way I am glad we have less coming to tonight’s supper club.  Eighteen this evening and that will be the limit.  Every 1st of January my resolution is learn to say “No,” but I never do.  Luckily I have most things prepped so it should be a bit easier today….better get moving.  I love the smell of the roasted spices in my kitchen.

First night tonight!

Started nice and early and as the day has gone on more and more people have called and now I have 28 for tonight!  A manic day and a bit of a rush at the last minute but the dining room looks lovely with masses of candles and bunches of wild flowers from my over grown garden at the moment. Spices out. Onion bhaji’s, samosas, soup,curries and all ready….here we go!
