Bonjour!

Dear Friends

Whilst the last few months have forced many changes for all of us, the desire to spend time with family and friends is more apparent than ever. The importance of spending time with loved ones and the longing to create everlasting memories resonates with us all. We are looking forward to welcoming you back to our glorious Oxfordshire home Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons.

As always, you can find recipe inspiration and cooking tips in my recipes section. There you’ll find lovely light dishes for spring. This season is full of vegetables springing to life after a long winter under the soil. It is the season for colour.

I also hope you’ve enjoyed my new TV series – ‘Simply Raymond Blanc’. All ten episodes have now aired on ITV, however, if you missed any of them, or simply want to revisit particular episodes, you can do so on the ITV Hub. This series is full to the brim with simple, delicious, fuss-free dishes that everyone can make at home.

My new cookbook ‘Simply Raymond’ is now available I couldn’t be prouder. This book was written mostly during lockdown as I cooked in my home kitchen, reconnecting with simple dishes I love so much.

Wishing you all good health and peace. Here’s to brighter days ahead.
