Thank you, Michigan!
Do you remember last April 25th, when I travelled and worked in Michigan, USA? None of this would have been possible without the help of my dear friend Madeleine Vedel, who organized the entire journey for me.

Staying in this wonderful river-and-woods home was such a blessing. I am convinced that you become a better human being when you live in the middle of the forest, taking river baths as often as possible.
Merci, Madeleine and Chad, for welcoming me into your paradise. I will never forget the peace I found there.
If you want to experience an authentic, almost indigenous way of living in this magical place, here is the Airbnb link: /l/OTMr3hd1. I would also like to thank all of Madeleine’s dear friends who made this adventure possible, a special one for Barb, an amazing local food&wine writter .
The gift beyond the job was the experince meeting all these amazing persons :
A special hug to my dear “Mama” in Bellaire, Merci Melissa Fisher. Cooking with you, welcoming your guests as friends and your friends as guests, was such a beautiful experience. Your amazing Victorian house is for sale if anyone dreams of a life in Michigan. Mama, I hope to cook with you in France one day. I will keep my word.
Merci, Barbara, for hosting us in your beautiful place in Northport. Even the smoke alarm will remember my smoked beef. What an unforgettable evening!
Merci, Cathy and Gene Garthe, for welcoming me to your farm. I felt as cherished in your cherry orchard as I did in my grandparents’ plum farm. The warmth of the countryside, and of people connected to the earth, nourishes me more than anything. Thank you for hosting the 20-person cooking class and dinner. The time spent at your home will remain in my heart forever.
