It’s The Bordeaux Kitchen 2.0!

THE BORDEAUX KITCHEN

It has taken many weeks, but I have a crafty webmaster who helped me with the new look and to showcase my tours, photographs, blog, book, tallow skincare (more on that later!), and credentials to welcome you to my world! I wanted a website that reflects my love and passion for French gastronomy, ancestral cuisine (i.e., cooking with animal fats and meats), France, and travel in Europe!

I am redefining for myself what “healthy eating” means. It’s a relaunch of the definition of “health” as I see it, and I’m sharing what I have learned to perhaps help you improve your own parameters of what it means to be and eat healthfully, one bite at a time.
