Another wonderful article and reason to continue mourning Gourmet! Back in the 60s I was offered and accepted a lifetime subscription to Gourmet; upon its demise, I was automatically given the same sort of subscription to Bon Apétit which has gotten worse and worse - I can’t imagine how it continues to survive. Thank goodness for Cuisine et Vins de France!

I love the old menu- there’s a Facebook page that archives menus from the last century and it has the same great feel

Reading the Paris Novel now. Found it in English at a bookstore in Haarlem just last week. Dreamy indulgence. 🌸🌸

My first reading of Tender at the Bone happened to be right around this time of year. My dad had grown some tomatillos, planing to use them for salsa verde, but ended up with more than enough. I saw the recipe for Pork and Tomatillo Stew and knew immediately we had to try it. It has been repeated and enjoyed many times since!

Yum, yum, yum. I am so jealous. We just returned from Sicily and had some amazing food but nothing like this.
