THE MAGIC OF

December

An Annual thing

The dinner. And Friends

Time is ticking. It feels almost unreal to have finished setting the table before time. It never happens, yet it is true. You can feel that they are almost here. Still, there is one thing you have forgotten — the earrings and necklace you saved for this evening to celebrate the season so dear. Find out more.

Tis

The season

It is almost hard to talk about this stunning season. The season of roasting chestnuts, crispy gingerbreads, succulent roasts and glasses of champagne consumed. The season so magical that there are no words to describe the beauty of it. It is even hard to say what the natural beauty is as it changes from person to person, home to home and family to family. But one thing is for sure: table set for dinner, spoonfuls shared with family and friends, sips between sentences taken, bites enjoyed by the candlelight - that is one of the biggest and most cherished beauties of the season. A Christmas meal. Be it served in your traditions or in French, with a guinea fowl, foie gras, salmon rillettes, chestnuts and buche de noel to end the meal with. Be it served on a white tablecloth with candles and white or green decorations, or maybe in deeper and juicy colours, like a good red wine. But no matter what colour and menu you choose, choose to celebrate every step of the way, preparing it and enjoying every bite. Prepare your Christmas meal

Travel

Between 100000 cheeses, splendid wine and unimaginable scenery

Jura, so close to Lyon and part of the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region, is located in eastern France. A region like no other (same as many other regions in France), it is bountiful with lakes, waterfalls, mountains, hills, meadows, cities, villages, and slopes filled with vineyards. Unique not only in terms of its nature but also in terms of being one of the rare French regions living through all four seasons. In summer, it is generous with hot sun and beaches by the stunning lakes; in autumn, it is one of the rare regions standing proudly in yellow-orange-red colours. But, when the winter comes, in some parts of Jura, all of that, so luscious all year long, is covered in snow, making it a great place for cross-country skiing, slowly turning into spring, that, comes with its overflowing rivers, fierce waterfalls, blooming trees and crisp nights combined with warm days. That being said, it is the region where all four seasons meet and greet each other, which is quite rare in France.


 

RECIPES

From simple appetisers and dinner dishes to easy-to-make cookies, tarts and more laborious cakes. But, mostly, all French and seasonal. Visit


HOME

From essentials like the softest and best-made duvets and cleaning materials to scents, candles, interior design accessories and all that makes your home the best place to live in. Visit


Drinks

One can pretend that a meal without wine is the best. But one can also be honest and say that it lacks that excitement of discovery. Some may say that coffee is the worst thing ever, exchanging it for tea or a chai latte, while others say that one cup of coffee is such a pleasure that it even times stops. And there is no right or wrong, as long as the product you use is made with respect, love and, preferably, a sustainable approach. Visit


BEAUTY

No matter the beauty rituals we have, we do have some. Some get by with a simple wash with soap. Some need four different products. Some crave an SPA visit every day, and some do not wish for anything annoying to their perfect, natural skin. I like to have a bit of everything, yet, as long as it is natural, clean and makes my mind and body happy. Visit

EVENT

Cooking weekend in Burgundy

The evening of our "last meal", I sent one of them a message asking how they enjoyed the restaurant in Paris that evening when I received a reply that they did not go, as they were so full from the weekend that there was going to be no food for a week now. I took it as a compliment, as we ate and drank a lot that weekend in Burgundy. And many of us - walked as well.
