The five course “crumble” meal that Jo served me upon my arrival in Paris. First 3 courses ony pictured.

Cauliflower soup, with a bread crumble

To cleanse the palate: plain yogurt, cucumber, and granola crumble
The main event: leek and onion in beschamel sauce topped with a savory and nutty crumble
The following 3 shots show the meal that Richard prepared for me upon my arrival to his village home near Limoges – and on a whim as well, upon realizing I wouldn’t eat his beef bourgignon!

Home-made blue cheese and leek quiche

Lemon tart, wine, and delicious cheeses waiting to be devoured for dessert…

…but first: hummous and carrots, salad (made by me), and cheesy potatoes, yum!

In return, the following evening, I showed Richard how to make Nepali food. Pictured is a potato, aubergine, and cauliflower curry, and beside it curried spinach. Not pictured: daal, rice, and curd. So good!
