The Chicago Tribune

In an interview for The Chicago Tribune, I was asked
If someone were visiting the Dordogne this summer, what would you insist that they eat and drink for their first meal?
I’d start with a fresh vegetable soup made with stock from chicken bones, and then serve a glass of golden Monbazillac wine with a slice of foie gras. The main course would be a duck roasted with honey and mustard and served with pommes sarladaises (made with truffles and parsley and cooked in duck fat), with a bottle of a Pecharmant red wine from Chateau de Tiregand, 2009, followed by salad from my garden, a slice of my friend Stephane’sTomme d’Audrix cheese and fresh strawberries with cream from Stephane. (In fact, that’s what I’m cooking for tonight.)

Sounds grand. We are recently back from "a Perfect Week in the Perigord". Did about 90% of your recommendations: Hotel Quatre Soeurs, Domaine de la Vitrolle, Le Vieux Logis, the wine, the caves et al. Would recommend Au Bon Accueil as a restaurant in Limeuil and a stop at the urban Roman villa, Vesunna in Perigueux. Ed Clarke
