It's hard and hungry work - traditionally the vineyard owners feed their temporary workers nourishing, hearty food to fuel the work in the vines.

She introduces the regions, and winemaking families who make their harvest a celebration. She visited some of France's greatest châteaux and domaines, from La Fleur Petrus and Lynch-Bages, Vieux Télégraphe, Guigal and Domaine Tempier, Michel Lafarge and Domaine Raveneau, to Louis Roederer, Zind-Humbrecht, and many others and shared their meals. Presented here is a collection of authentic recipes tested by families over generations - they are delicious, full of flavour and great value in the best tradition of French country cooking.
