My name is Anneli Faiers, I am 36 years old and a mother of 2 youngsters. I moved to SW France 6 years ago and I am lucky to live in a 300 year old house in the middle of a field. I am inspired daily by the culture and cuisine here and I love the notion of continuing the fine cooking traditions that have been created from my farmhouse kitchen over the years. I hope you enjoy sharing in my cooking adventures. Bon Appétit!
