Swimming Snacks Pt 5 - Tomato & mozzarella loaded crisps 🍅

We took inspiration from the flavours of an Italian tomato & mozzarella salad and then piled it onto a mound of crisps. 😅 The acid from the pickles replaced the balsamic and we added some olives in for good measure too, because why not?!

It was the first time using the mozzarella on a “salad” and it was absolutely delicious. It’s our cheese of choice for our pizzas (pizza nights at La Cour de Husson coming soon!)

This is the second dish that we whipped up for our friends Margaux & Clément who joined us for a dip in The Charente. (See the last episode of the TLT baguette for the first one). It’s such a joy to have the river so close by to enjoy. We’ve got a list of our favourite spots that we send to guests when they’re looking for a day out with some wild swimming.

Swimming Snacks Pt 4 - TLT (Tofu, lettuce, & tomato) 🥖

A stone cold classic, veganised. We use smoked tofu in our TLT sandwiches, fried off in a little oil to make it crispy, and it’s absolutely delicious. 🌱

We’re in the midst of tomato season at the moment and these big ones are SO juicy and sweet. Hit them up with a good pinch of salt and they really sing. 🍅

For this episode of Swimming Snacks, we headed to the river with our friends Margaux and Clément for a dip in the evening to cool off from the summer sun and enjoy a few glasses of chilled rosé (from the awesome ). 🍷

- Baguette
- Vegan mayo (we use )
- Smoked tofu, sliced & fried (.fr)
- Heirloom tomatoes, sliced
- Baby gem lettuce
- Good pinch of salt

🌻 We had such a brilliant week hosting our first yoga holiday with the awesome . Lots of lovely guests came for a sold out week of yoga, relaxation, and lots of food and wine!

The guests enjoyed morning yoga around the pool, afternoon classes in the open barn, and an evening class in front of the beautiful sunset. It was the perfect balance of practising yoga and getting brilliant guidance from Fiona and plenty of time to explore the local area and lie around the pool! ☀️

🌱 We cooked all the meals for the guests and one day they went out for a picnic lunch to a nearby river spot.
It was such a fantastic group of people and everyone enjoyed long dinners together with local wines. 🍷 We cooked loads of different things including homemade pastries for breakfasts, tarts and vibrant salads for lunch, curries, tacos, mushroom bourguinon, Chinese tofu dishes, and decadent deserts!

🥳 If you’d like to join us for the next retreats, sign up to our mailing list to be the first to hear about them. We still have a few places left for our upcoming pilates retreat in September - comment “PILATES” and we’ll send you the information! 🥳
