French countryside vacation

We are planning a vacation in the northwest region of France.   This is a dream vacation for me.  Not only will we be in France, but we will be staying in a chefs vacation home, shopping the local markets in August, and enjoying the many wonderful amenities of the location.  Fresh local seafood, fresh cultured butter, French wines and cheeses, etc.  For a person who loves food and cooking, this will be incredibly fun.

The French vacation home.
It is also a challenge to me since I will not have the comforts of my kitchen, my equipment, and no pre-planning of what to do with the foods that are available.   At home I can always look at cookbooks or google my questions.  I am not sure that I will have those types of resources, and by gum, I want to prepare and eat delicious food! 

And then there is this beautiful kitchen to work in and be inspired by:



And the outdoor terrace with a table and chairs so we can dine alfresco!  Food always tastes even better when you eat outdoors, doesn't it?


I've never done anything like this, but I am very excited! 

Bon voyage.  I will report back on our adventures in September!
