Bourdain/Ruhlman recipe for country pate
We're making both pate and cassoulet this weekend at Duckfest 2010; I'll be posting the pate recipe live as we make it at Podchef's Claddagh Farms. www.kitchen-at-camont.com
Some Small Towns in West Pyrenees?
Trying to escape excess August heat, I did a 48-hour drive by shooting of that beautiful mountain high Basque country. These are well-trod tourist towns in summer season and pilgrim routes in fall and spring with the usual mediocre offerings. But nearly every village has a best spot; the traditional Euskadi in Espelette and high-end Les Pyrenees in St. Jean Pied de Port are two delicious memories. Best of all and as much fun is the availablity of great local Basque products and conserves at charcuteries and fromageries. Farms also welcome visitors and sell their own wares as well. Pack picnic gear and be prepared to feast!
