Sunday kitchen

A morning mostly spent in the kitchen, cooking guinea fowl in lemon and garlic sauce, my version of a recipe from the wonderful Catalan Cuisine by Colman Andrews, given to me for my birthday by C. I pot-roasted it whole rather than stewed it in pieces but otherwise followed the recipe and it was delicious. Also made samfaïna, Catalan ratatouille, and went to the local shop to talk about selling my postcards there.

The olive oil here is made by our friends at their mill in the village, and it's the best olive oil I've tasted.
