"COOKING IN THE DORDOGNE"
 ![]()
"Dear Jo-Ann, We had an amazing trip to France. We would have never found Sylvie without you. It was so reassuring to have your advice and "shepherding" as we planned our trip. We spent 5 glorious days in the Dordogne Valley where we cooked, napped and saw the sights at our own pace with our hostess Tres Bien, Sylvie. Thank you for leading us to her! My mother-in-law, my daughter and I had a trip of a lifetime with memories (and recipes) we will never forget!!"
