Description

While walking in South-West France, cook and journalist Orlando Murrin dreamed up the adventure of why not wave goodbye to the rat race and come to live in this rural paradise, where the only traffic is the boulangerie van delivering baguettes? His book tells the story of how he set up a boutique B&B and includes 100 amazing recipes. The story of the Manoir de Raynaudes begins on New Year's Eve 2001 when Orlando and his partner first glimpse the ruined manoir at dusk. Set in 13 acres of lush meadow, woodland, lakes, and garden, they set about transforming the dignified old manor house into a phenomenally successful boutique B&B with its own magnificent kitchen garden. A Table in the Tarn charts the discovery, acquisition, and renovation of the property. Along the way, we learn about the local food scene, with its astonishingly rich heritage of ingredients and dishes, about working in France and coping with the famous French bureaucracy, and about the unforeseen delight of working with the locals. Four years on, with countless plaudits and a coveted entry in the classy Mr and Mrs Smith directory, the business attracts visitors from around the world and continues to be a gastronomic destination for anyone seeking peace, tranquillity, and above all fantastic food. Everything at the Manoir is homemade, from breakfast breads to after-dinner chocolates, and the book includes
