Culinary Adventures with Camilla

This month the Italian Food Wine Travel bloggers are looking at native white wine grapes from Italy. Marcia of Joy of Wine invited us to explore, writing: " Time to explore some of Italy's white grapes! There's lots to choose from here coming from all 20 regions! I'm in a market that has a lot of wines to choose from, and since I'm a wine buyer, I can bring in what I want! With that being said, I hope to see a lot of "variety" here in our choice of white wine!" I love a little flexibility in the theme along with the chance to learn about and try a new variety. Let me at it! If you are reading this early enough, feel free to join in our Twitter chat. We will be live on Saturday, June 5th at 8am Pacific. Follow the hashtag #ItalianFWT and be sure to add it to anything you tweet so we can see it. Here's the line-up...

  This month, Nicole of  Somm's Table  picked the topic of Celebrating BIPOC Winemakers & Winery Owners for our February Wine Pairing Weekend blogging group. I'll be honest: when I first saw her theme, I had no idea what that even meant. BIPOC. The acronym BIPOC refers to "black, indigenous, and people of color." So, I did some reading and ordered three different bottles from different winemakers. More on that in a second. If you are reading this soon enough, feel free to join our live Twitter chat on Saturday, February 13th at 8am Pacific. Follow the hashtag #WinePW and be sure to add that to anything you tweet so we can see it. In the meantime, all of these posts should be live by chat time.

This month the #FoodNFlix bloggers are watching "Chocolat" and the #LitHappens group is reading Chocolat , the novel that inspired that movie. I watched, re-read, then found a follow-up novel by Joanne Harris, Peaches for Monsieur le Curé: A Novel .* I did learn - after I finished - that this is the third book and I skipped the second one. Whoops. I guess I'll read them out of order. If you're interested in my thoughts about Chocolat novel in my Pain au Chocolat post. On the Page photo from amazon.com Vianne returns to Lansquenet after receiving a letter forwarded from Armande via her grandson Luc. Armande entreats Vianne to return and save Reynauld because he won't ask for help on his own. With a continued focus on the central themes of discrimination, feminism, and racism, this novel has even more xenophobia than Chocolat . Possibly because though Vianne is 'other' she is a singular person; and even Roux and his nomadic river people are...
