About


The French Riviera is a place where salads are an important lunch or starter but as the weather has changed the other day,  it's time for some more winter recipes.  The cold wind makes me long for a nice hot soup. Tasty and simple with some vegetables and some meat to give the soup more flavour. And what better to use than bacon?! Pumpkin and bacon, an excellent combination. If you don't believe me, just give it a try ;-) .
