On my last trip to France, I had the pleasure of visiting a friend of mine in Gascony, Kate Hill. She's an American living out her life in France and loving every minute of it. I envy her.
Kate is a cookbook author and canal barge cooking instructor. She takes people out on her barge, the Julia Hoyt, and teaches them how to cook. Her home is a fantasy place that you just want to never leave.
We have some of the best duck I have ever had and you just can't beat the atmosphere for having a truly authentic French experience.
Enjoy....................................

Since this area is known for their duck, I had the pleasure of being at her home on the couple of days that the BBC was filming her for a television show. It was magical.
We have some of the best duck I have ever had and you just can't beat the atmosphere for having a truly authentic French experience.
If you are interested in this experience for yourself, please read her book, A Culinary Journey in Gascony by Kate Hill, It is an enjoyable read and is filled with bits of information, as well as, recipes from the region.
Enjoy....................................
