Join Kate McDermott (Art of the Pie) and me for a celebratory extended weekend beginning 11/11/11 of good Gascon food and fun in the Kitchen-at-Camont. Friday- Monday +++

PIG, PIE & EYE are the way we describe these two Kates as we join together for a four day fete of exploring the farms, markets and kitchens of Gascony this November.  From the heritage fruit and orchard museum just down the canal to the Chapolard family charcuterie farm, Kate McDermott and Kate Hill share with you their insights, recipes and philosophy of bringing good food to the table. To make a memorable souvenir, Tim Clinch will lead our merry band of food photographers through the Gascon countryside and to our tables.

What’s in store? 4 days of good fun and frolicking where the French celebrate the good life everyday!
