On my recent travels I had a great time exploring and enjoying all the delicious French food. If you saw Top Chef Master’s on Wednesday night last  you got a taste of how serious French chefs are.

Being that the Missus is a fishetarian (which is what she likes to call herself) we experiment with quite a lot of vegetarian recipes often using meat-substitutes or seafood as our proteins.
