A General Introduction to The Bordeaux Kitchen as a Philosophy
The Bordeaux Kitchen is a comprehensive approach to living your best life through principles learned from French ancestral traditions in gastronomy and lifestyle. I call them the seven tenets of the French lifestyle. Preparing nutritious meals with wholesome, well-sourced animal products and other high-quality ingredients is the main focus, with other vital practices including spending time outdoors in all activities possible and sharing in the community.
Reducing exposure to toxins, artificial light, and non-native electro-magnetic smog (wi-fi, cellular technology, screens) are aspects folded into this lifestyle pattern, as we strive to enjoy life’s most nutrient-dense offerings in the form of food, sunlight, fresh air, connection, and gastronomic traditions passed down from generation to generation. The love, warmth, and care that go into each recipe or lifestyle recommendation will envelop you in confidence and self-worth as you learn to cook, care for yourself and family, and honor your own ancestry and body.
The seven tenets of The Bordeaux Kitchen come from learning how to live a French lifestyle firsthand. The tenets have spawned two recipe books (the first, The Bordeaux Kitchen: An Immersion into French Food and Wine, Inspired by Ancestral Traditions, published in 2018, and the second, on organ meats, is in the process of being written) that read like stories from a modern-day gastronomical journey through France.
Tania has developed culinary tours to Bordeaux, Paris, and Switzerland that have also grown out of this philosophy in her attempt to share the wealth of knowledge, beauty, cultures, and food and wine of France and Switzerland. Tania also developed a line of natural skincare products called Bordeaux Kitchen Naturals® out of love for natural ingredients, based on the seven tenets of The Bordeaux Kitchen.
