Bonjour!

It is with great pride that we are welcoming guests once again to Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons.

The house has become a home again, full of joy and excitement for the season ahead. I am so grateful to my wonderful team who continue to give our gardens so much love, with seeds now bursting to life to produce the bounty of herbs and vegetables we are now serving on our menus. They have prepared the house beautifully, ready to give you and your loved ones the greatest welcome.

And for those of you looking for delicious summer recipe inspiration, please visit my recipes section for ideas and tips for summer dishes I hope you will enjoy.

Wishing you all good health and peace. I thank you sincerely for all of your support.

My latest book - The Lost Orchard - is a love letter to our beautiful orchard at Le Manoir and to 100's of forgotten fruit varieties, complete with lovely little stories and of course delicious recipes. I hope you will enjoy it. Available from bookshops or from Amazon.

Summer is the most glorious season for cooking, with fruits and vegetables at their finest.

Whether you’re a beginner cook or more advanced, this is the perfect season to experiment. Think colours, lightness, freshness…. pure deliciousness. Beautiful food for beautiful weather.

Whether it’s a gorgeous pea risotto for evenings at home, or a delectable cherry clafoutis or lemon cake to take on a picnic. The options are endless.

And for those of you with your own little vegetable patch, how wonderful to enjoy the beauty that is cooking from your own garden.

Enjoy.
