Home made bread and its aroma is a feast! I remember well the smell of my mother's bread as she removed it from her oven, Slathering it when she found time to make butter was an epicurean experience,
And Petrea - so far as I know, all medieval villages had an oven - a communical oven - where the women would take their dishes to be baked. Presumably they didn't have the facilities to cook in their houses.

ReplyDeleteAfter following your blog for many yeas, I hope to get to Menton in person. So excited and would love to meet you for coffee.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great event! Do you know the history of the oven itself? Why is there a "village oven"? What does that mean?
ReplyDeleteBe lovely to meet for a coffee, Jojo.

On the other hand this might better explain it!

ReplyDeleteGreat! I will keep you posted when I figure out my plans. I've got just 2 days this visit.
ReplyDeleteYour blog has been such an inspiration and I'm thrilled to be able to bring a dream to fruition and bring a few pictures to life.
To a French person I don't think any food can match such a treat !
