Our house

From market table to baize

Cream linen, ivory crockery and polished walnut set a warm, sociable scene. Seasonal French cooking leads the way, with bright leaves, earthy mushrooms and late-season pears; wine-coloured upholstery and brushed brass carry the same palette into the poker salon.

A seasonal French table

A delicate leek and garden herb tart opens the meal with crisp leaves and a fresh, green bite. Slow-roasted chicken follows with wine-braised shallots, mushrooms and buttered roots, then poached pear with vanilla cream and toasted hazelnuts brings a mellow finish.
