Fabulously Delicious: The French Food Podcast

Today on Fabulously Delicious the French food podcast we are talking to Jill Colonna. She's originally from Scotland but for the past 30 years has lived in France with her French husband and kids and written two patisserie recipe books. Jill is known to many as Mad about Macarons but for us this week she is chatting about all things Financier. The Financier is a small delightful French cake that is often served in the afternoon as a sweet treat.

Fabulously Delicious is all about French food and French cuisine the people that make it, cook it, taste it, write about it, photograph it, and love it. We chat with Franco foodies here in France and around the world.

Ratatouille is on the Fabulously Delicious menu today and because it's traditionally a plant-based dished or vegetarian dish I wanted to find out not only about the dish itself but also about plant-based and vegetarian or vegan food in France. So who better to chat with than a woman who wrote a cookbook about that exact subject, Sarala Terpstra. 

You might want to check out my recipe for Ratatouille on the link below as well. It's delicious.

Bonjour. This is Fabulously Delicious the podcast that brings you the wonderful and fabulous people involved in French food, here in France or around the world. They cook it, produce it, talk, write and photograph it, but above all they love it. 

I wanted to change it up a little bit on Fabulously Delicious. Each week I’ve been bringing you delicious episodes revolving around a specific topic. We’ve had Cantal cheese, Confit de canard, and Burgundy wines to name a few, and then we’ve gotten to know the guests who are experts on the topic. But in season one I had the pleasure of chatting with renowned chefs like Phillip Tesser and Gabriel Gate. So I wanted to dive a bit into chef life and bring you a different Fabulously Delicious episode. Going forward every now and then I will have episodes devoted to a French chef who’s either here in France or around the world. We will discover their love of French food, their career journey, their life before becoming a chef, and what lead them to French cuisine. 

So today is the first of a two-part chat with a French chef that has made his home in Canada. He was born in France and trained to be a chef here, moved to the US, and then settled in Canada where is now the judge on the very popular Great Canadian Bakeoff. Bruno Feldeisen is a wonderful chef that despite a difficult childhood and young adult life in the kitchen has risen to be one of the best French chefs in Northern America.

Cheese in France is bordering on being a religion rather than a dish or ingredient. It's just in your blood the love of and knowledge of Fromage amongst the French I think. Today we are talking about a regional cheese with the same name as its region the Cantal. Both raw milk and pasteurized cheese it has so much to learn about so what better way than with a trusted French cheese foodie the amazing Jennifer Greco.
