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

So sorry to say that Saturday night has been postponed because of travel problems! Fear not though we are trying to put another date on for next weekend! So sorry to disappoint. Lucy Louise

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!

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!

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.

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!

This is the bit I like, I’ve been and bought all my lovely ingrediants, they are all sorted in my kitchen, Radio 2 is playing and I’m off!  Mango chutney is so expensive here I am making my own followed by the 3 hour reducing of the infused milk for the kulfi.  Shortbreads next followed by mincing the lamb for the kofta’s and so on.  Late to bed and and early start tomorrow ready for Friday.
