culinary tour day 7 in Normandy (france) by nadege cuisine from cape town

7th day From le Prieure to la Hague

On Sunday, there is a market that nobody should be missed in Octeville.
It is a big one where we buy jerusalem artichokes, strawberries, rhubarb, baguette and 1   saucisson sec. We go to the rotisseurs alley we get our leg of lamb for dinner with a little pot filled up of meat juice...
Can't wait to have dinner!
Well...until tonight we still have lots to do and eat so it's ok! And, first stop is at Theo Capelle Cidrerie to learn about the process of making cider and calvados and of course, we also enjoy a glass of each!
We have lunch in a creperie which serves crepes with fresh scallops or with some andouille. Just divine!

During the afternoon, we explore one of the most beautiful part of Normandy: la Hague.  It is a picturesque place with dramatic cliffs, coves and small fields surrounded by hedges. Loads of artists are inspired by this region and we'll also be tonight when we'll create our meal: Stuffed squids with bacon and mushrooms, leg of lamb with sweet pommes
de terre nouvelles and rhubarb tart!
