“I pulled out the copy of your cookbook that was gifted to me after our initial discovery of your shop - thank you Marie at L'Hôtel de Beaune - it literally gave me goosebumps to read your words…. they jumped off the page and instantly put me right back there. It meant so much more to read them after the experience and then seeing the photos and thinking, ‘I cooked right there’, ‘I used that pot’, 'I was in that space’.... I don't have the words. You all are such a special family and I felt instantly at home around you. I so look forward to my return.” - Dee
