Fabulously Delicious: The French Food Podcast

So Cognac is definitely a spirit. Cognac falls into the category of brandy which is probably easier to understand. But not all brandy is cognac. So in order to be called cognac, it needs to be made from the AOC protected area.
Thérèse Bertrand as a child spent her childhood between Spain and France. She also spent her life with Cognac at the core to everything and despite some time away she has moved back to tackle the family business with her brother along with her husband and now has two sons.
Today’s topic on Fabulously Delicious is all about Cognac. We learn what Cognac is. What the region itself is like. How Cognac is made and so much more.
The restaurant mentioned by Thérèse is Le Coq D’or: http://lecoqdor.eu

Crème Caramel with Ruby Boukabou

What do a flan, flan mixto, quesillo, pudim, flan de café, rozata, flan de Cuba, purin, flan Napolitano and leche flan all have in common? In France they are all called a crème caramel. Or are versions of one.
Ruby Boukabou is an Australian tap dancer, author of guidebooks on Paris’ architecture and art as well as the proud daughter of French restaurant owner parents.
Today’s topic on Fabulously Delicious is one that Ruby is pretty much an expert on. Ruby’s mum used to make these delicious dishes every night for her father's restaurant. Ruby has a special treat for us, her mum's recipe. Also, she fills us in on the history of this dish and what its origin story is.
The place Ruby mentioned to have the best cremé caramel in Paris is - https://www.legrandcolbert.f

Women of Champagne with Cynthia Coutu

The other thing that Cynthia Coutu learned at Wine School or realized was just how male-dominated the wine industry is in France. So that's why she ended up specializing in champagnes made by women.
Cynthia Coutu is a 50-something Canadian, living in Paris. She has three passions, people, wine, and travel. Learning about wine has opened up so many doors and windows for Cynthia. Now Cynthia shares her passion for Champagne with people from around the world on one of her fabulous tours.
Today’s topic on Fabulously Delicious is all about the women of Champagne. There’s a great history of women in the champagne industry here in France and in my opinion, it needs to be shared. But also there are currently a lot of fabulous women in the industry as well so that’s why I’ve devoted a whole episode to the subject.
The associations Cynthia mentioned in the interview were.
