Hi peeps!!
I want to take you on a trip through one of my favorite places this time for food and wine!!!!!!!!!!
The Burgundy region is about 2.5 hrs from Paris, starting with Auxerre in the north of the region following on to Dijon ( the provincial capital) then just as you leave the region by Macon. Of course you can also get here by the TGV , local train services and finally by Air.
Once you arrive in Burgundy you are immediately taken in by the breath taking views of the rolling landscapes and one of the largest canal systems. Here it is not about your super stores for your shopping, the market is the place to buy your fresh ingredients which are the produce of the local farmers , whether it is the fresh vegetables, cheese or meats , you will surely find all here!!!!.
Burgundy cuisine is very rustic and they love home style cooking, for them it is not about making sure that the weight and measures are exact but they have made the food before and know from memory how the recipe should be. Even in the kitchens you will find unusual rolling pins they are actual empty wine bottles why waste !!!!.
The regional cuisine consists of Trout, Pike and Carp for the fresh fish. Then Chicken and the famous Charolais Beef which is world renowned( they can tell the best cows by the size of their bottoms........)
With Dijon you have the world famous home to mustard, you can try over 40-50 varieties of mustard today in the town whether you like it mild or very hot its all available. all in all you can find great food at a 3 star restaurant or a small cafe depending on your budget.
The region is of course world renowned for great wines... the home to some of the best and chic Pinot Noir in the world today. after giving you a bit about US Pinot Noir people have a love affair for French Pinot , the history of wine in Burgundy is iconic with areas such are Beaune, Macon and Chablis. You can spend months wondering around the wine regions of Burgundy and never want to leave , the passion in the wine makers is plain to see through the wines itself.
A must visit if you ever have the chance further details can be found at
