I am following the lead of Raymond Blanc and have booked lunch at a tiny farm in Bourgogne on Sunday. Never has the term 'middle of nowhere' been more applicable, as the farm is set deep in the French countryside, without even a sign outside to indicate the declicious on offer within.
Booking La Ruchotte has been interesting to say the least, involving several emails (in French), and payment of a 30 Euro deposit. No menu is on offer in advance - the chef cooks whatever is available on the farm (so I'm guessing we don't neeed to worry about my shellfish allergy...). It's open for lunch only on Saturdays and Sundays and only takes 24 or so people round a big farmhouse table - so I'm hoping they don't mind having small children in the mix. There's only so much colouring in little people can do before they get antsy. But it will be delicieux I'm sure - and a very good, and very french way to start our half term holiday...
