Peruvian cuisine is a wonderful mix of cultures, traditions, and bold flavors, with influences from Indigenous, Spanish, African, Chinese, and Japanese cooking. The result is a cuisine that’s as diverse as it is delicious!
Our students did a fantastic job bringing these flavors to the table, preparing a beautiful Peruvian feast!
On the menu: ceviche, papa a la huancaína, tacu tacu, ensalada de pallares, lomo saltado, locro de zapallo, and the heavenly suspiro a la limeña for dessert.
What a delicious way to explore Peru, one dish at a time! Thanks to everyone who joined us! You all were so much fun!!

Another photo dump of time in Menerbes. We had a nice pizza 🍕 dinner in the village after our day of sourcing. We went to Goult to the little fromagerie there- they have the best cheese in the area! So happy to be able to enjoy cheese in France- the raw milk gobbles the lactose so easier to digest and oh so delicious! An evening of an aperol spritz, some charcuterie and Rose as we admire our finds! ’strip

Quick photo dumps from provrnce. Tuesday market in Aix en Provence. Managed to park “Thor” the Goliath SUV in the parking garage made for small cars! Kim is a parking wizard! The Tuesday market is full of clothing, table cloths and “the bra whisperer”- he can hand you the perfect size without him even looking at you- lol! Then a delicious middle eastern lunch at Tita in the old village. And what’s a trip to a bigger city- more shoes of course!

Off we went to menerbes on the tvg from Gare de Lyon in Paris. It was really hot in Avignon and of course I was wearing too many layers and had all sorts of luggage which made it even hotter! Once at the rental car place we quickly scoured the lot to determine which Goliath vehicle would accomodate 4 women and luggage! The only reasonable option was a ginormous Volvo SUV- it all fit!!!! Lucky for me, Kim is an expert driver of the large SUV- so tag not it… with the driving 😮‍💨.? We loaded up and off to find out Airbnb in Menerbes. You always hope that the rental will be as nice as the photos (Paris sure wasn’t) but this Airbnb is amazing! We dropped our bags off and hit the town for a walkabout. We ended up going to a magical spot at the top of the village where we drank luberon spritzes, watched the sunset and enjoyed a great light meal… they could not have been more accommodating as we were there at the end of service. We wandered back to the house to tuck in for the night. On my way to my room (you have to go outside to a separate entrance) I heard a weird animal noise that scared the cr&$p out of me! Laura googled the sound and it was a tawny owl 🦉! We went to sleep content and looking forward to the market and exploring Aix en Provence (posting tomorrow).

Time to catch up a bit on the train… dinner on Saturday night was at an amazing restaurant in the Marais Arcane 17. The ambiance was second to none… beautifully lit by taper candles, providing a cozy intimate setting… we were thrilled to be able to meet up with 2 friends who we met last year in Paris(I love meeting new friends traveling and keeping in touch). The food at arcade was Basque inspired and absolutely delicious. You can’t go wrong with any choice off the menu.. so far the culiary highlight of the trip! Good food, great friends and ambiance- was super! 😋

Travel day from Paris to Avignon to pick up the “longest car in France”… that report later. Matcha latte at Pierre Hermes while we waited and a quick peak at le train bleu- opulence at its best! Now enjoying the French countryside whiz by!

Today was a walk around the Marais… went to Cir Trudon to small their amazing candles- we will get our first order of Trudon candles at the end of October! My ultimate favorite candle line! Then to Mariage Freres tea house for some of the best teas and a fun experience to smell the blends. Buly was next up for some gifts where they hand done calligraphy labels! We got a “puffy cloud of heaven… crack blob”… omg so good! I can only eat cheese in Europe because the milk isn’t pasteurized so I raced to Saint Paul and my favorite cheese shop! Valancey packed to go, fresh figs and strawberries 🍓 to accompany! Then on the walk back to the apartment this creepy faces! It’s fashion week in Paris so you never know what you are going to see- either in a shop window or people on the street. Tomorrow we head to Provence!

Quick update from puce de Vanves… now off to Foire de chatou! Got a few things at the first market… trying to show some modicum of restraint! I wanted the picture of the 19th ce gentleman but alas I left him there…. I was so close! If he’d been 18th ce, he’d be in my bag- lol! More to come….

Partial day 1 recap- textile forage at ultramod ribbons Ultramod-Mercerie PARIS, then on to Annie Bouquet, French Needlepoint for my first needlepoint kit! Then to ANTOINETTE POISSON. to admire everything they have! A breeze past Officine Universelle Buly 1803 (need to go back when there isn’t a line) and a crepe at Las Vegas Bakery & Pastry Shop- delicious! Too tired to elaborate but we hit 20,000 steps easy! Good night from Paris
