My wife has returned from a week's holiday in France with tales of the many delightful dishes she'd eaten (though her trim figures doesn't suggest a bout of gluttony).

Dishes like beef daube - that long-cooked southern French stew. Or a simple lunchtime walnut and roquefort salad. Or maybe fromage blanc drizzled with a little rosewater.

France may have lost a little of its sparkle with the emergence of Spain as the powerhouse of innovative, exciting cooking (not to mention the pernicious influence of global fast food brands that have sprung up cross the country).
