The first Friday of July and to say hello to the weekly This & That, the sweet peas are shining in the garden here at @lepapillongarden . To say I am over-the-moon to have them is understatement as I shared earlier this week, and so let’s take a peek at what you will find when you stop by the blog to explore the T & T — What wonderful new novels are being released, and two new heart-warming films, along with a new French film that while not yet here in the states is one for those in France a must-see! Also, a return of a favorite, fun British/French mystery series, summer clothing sales to explore, a new tea from France inspired by a famous and well-known art destination, Giada returns and oh! jump on your bike and get ready to travel around France! This and so much more to discover in this week’s This & That!

Upon returning from the Farmers' Market today, filming took place for one of the episodes of the Introduction to French Cooking course. This time the focus was on the reason for cooking with the seasons along with what to cook with in each season and how to cook with ease.

This was a fun episode to film and one that will help remove the quandary of how to navigate from season to season without becoming overwhelmed or buying too much as is easy to do when everything looks so beautiful and delicious at the market! This and so much more is shared along with essential skills to learn so that cooking becomes fun every time during the everyday routine of feeding ourselves well.

Enrollment opens on Sunday August 24th. Learn more about the full syllabus on the blog under "Classes" in the menu bar of the blog.
