Toutes mes excuses....

I have not been posting much recently, and that's quite simply because I haven't been cooking much recently - too many restaurants! Since this is a food-based blog, I'm going to indulge myself and share with you a restaurant that has more or less changed my life:

the Moulin de Mougins.

There are almost no words to describe the meal that I ate. (I don't even want to say "eat," the word seems too vulgar for the art that was on my plate.) From the ginger-lemon champagne cocktail before the meal to the entire truffle I found nestled in my zucchini flower appetizer to the melt-in-your-mouth Bresse chicken, it was to die for. Normally after eating out I like to come home and do my best imitation of the dishes; this time, I'm not even trying it. The flavors were so complex, the textures so perfectly mixed that it would feel like sacrilege to even pretend. So I'm begging you all to come visit me and spend a night at the Moulin de Mougins. Till then, you can slaver over the website:
