How to fit 5 litres of chicken stock into a tiny freezer? Reduce it, reduce it, reduce it.

Some of you were asking me for the recipe for these winegrowers' potatoes last night. It's on my Substack now. The recipe part of the post is for paid subscribers, but you can sign up for a free trial to read it if you would like to. Hope you make it! deborarobertson.substack.com/p/how-not-to...

Made winegrowers' potatoes. Bacon, potatoes, cheese.

Absolutely raging at the men working outside in the garden. The impertimence.

It's been a tough day for a puppy, essentially doing nothing.

Goodnight from the South of France. Sleep crazy.

After all the rain and thunder yesterday, she is just so happy to be outside.

It's been thunder and lightning and rain here all day today and this puppy has zero interest in going outside. Excellent lap warmer though.

Made braised pigs' cheeks with toasted hazelnuts and roast figs and I'm not sad about it.

She's adorable. I'd have her in a minute if our dog didn't chase her and bark at her.

Home. Marseillan is furnace-hot and the first sunflowers are out in the garden. Love you, London, thanks for throwing your arms around me once again. See you soon. 🇫🇷🇬🇧

I walked down the street I worked on 30 years ago and bloody hell, time is slippery isn't it? Wrote about it here, plus a recipe for chicken provençal. deborarobertson.substack.com/p/once-upon-...

Briefly in London, enjoying not feeling like a social pariah for ordering a cappuccino after 10.30am.

I've been feeding this young stray cat for weeks and today she let me stroke her. Can't remember such an enormous sense of achievement.

Just closing the shutters before bed and I hear the sweet, clear sound of a scops owl in the trees opposite. I love them.

I've got a bad cold so I went back to bed. Then S brought me a cup of coffee and my favourite pastry, a Paris-Brest. Stuff like this is how you stay married (to me). Not handbags, not jewels, patisserie...
