culinary tour day 5 in normandy (france) with nadege cuisine from cape town

5th day From le Prieure to Montaigu la Brisette 
Today, we gonna spend the day to fill up our shopping basket!

We start with a dairy shop which makes delicious milk jams with the most interesting flavours such as coconut, chocolate, apple, orange and hard  toffees. Stephanie explains the process of making toffees and then treat us so well with a tasting of all products.

Our lunch is in Bricquebec medieval castle's knights hall with armors waching us!

A  walk is then always welcome after eating scallops, Calvados pork chops, kidneys, cheese platter and white chocolate creme brulee.

In Bricquebec like in most village in Normandy there is at least a culinary place not to be missed: l'epicereie parisienne is 100 years old and contains as much visual treasures than treasures to be eaten such as mature cheeses, fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables.

We also go to la maison du biscuit to get mustards for our rabbit, nice decoration for our chocolate charlotte tonight and jam for tomorrow morning.   

It's beautiful outside and just behind the Prieure there is a field of apple trees: the perfect spot for a bit of cheese, saucisson sec and cider pique nique before our cooking class!!!

 It's 20h30, and its' now time to enjoy what we have cooked for 2h: rabbit with prunes and chocolate charlotte. Miam! Bon appetit!
