Sorry BBC, by ‘remarkable and wide-ranging speech’ you mean ‘unhinged and full of lies’ 🤦🏼‍♀️

Loved writing this… Whey hey 🧀😄 www.bbc.co.uk/travel/artic...

Fantastic article… have been meaning to go for years!

Had an amazing dinner last night at Crocadon Farm in Cornwall. Chef Dan Cox is a regenerative farmer and has a green and one star from Michelin. I tasted unusual herbs and varieties of produce… One of the desserts was this lemon verbena sorbet. Out of this world! Get down there! www.crocadon.farm

#AmuseBouche author @carolynboyd.bsky.social gives you the best –and most delicious – self-catering advice for your upcoming French holiday in this piece for @theipaper.com 🍽️

Just once in a while, it's good to remind people that this police recruitment video from New Zealand exists www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9ps...

Celebrate Prime Day by buying Amuse Bouche: How to Eat Your Way Around France on uk.bookshop.org/p/books/amus... and not making Bozos richer 🤨

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut. If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Wow. Superb reporting in @theobserveruk.bsky.social

Listening to Steve Coogan on #Today talking about cooperatives, and reminded of how many food co-ops I came across in France when researching Amuse Bouche. They can be so important for communities, as i wrote here: www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

The ACTUAL Blackwell’s homepage has my book on it. (No I am not playing cool about it. 🥂🇫🇷🍾🥳💃 🤣)

Last week I took my daughter to the dentist on the other side of town… every single traffic light was green. Today… both my flights have been delayed, they’ve left my luggage in Amsterdam and I missed my train home at Bristol by 20 seconds. Ying and yang… 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️🙄

Who likes eating alone? Just because you’re a solo diner doesn’t mean you can’t splurge once in a while… these have been some of my favourite restaurants that are ideal for some alone time. www.theworlds50best.com/stories/News...

Off to that there London, trains up creek, raging ear ache… Friends/colleagues I see today may have to SPEAK A BIT LOUDER. 😂

They knew. But they sold flammable cladding anyway bit.ly/442Sxq7 unearthed and revealed by journalists, not by the expensive public enquiry

Is it a week for miracles? I just managed to get a GP appointment for my poorly son later today, with my named GP at my surgery, and it will be the first time I've ever laid eyes on her since my last one retired 5 years ago. 😵

Amuse Bouche is 1! 🎂🥂🍾

Unspeakably awful. Genocide, in plain sight. Where is the international condemnation from heads of state? Where is Starmer’s? www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Here for this 🤨😂

Fantastic ending to Baroness Kidron's speech in the House of Lords yesterday, which led to the government's defeat on AI & copyright. Speaking the UK's creators: "Their property, their labour, is worthy of your protection - because apart from anything else, it is not ours to give away."

Amen to this 🙏

Wonderful to see a bunch of people who earn a minimum of £93,904 a year and who are supposed to represent their constituent's interests refusing to enforce the legal rights of UK writers, who on average earn £7000 a year from their writing work. Real heartening stuff

Bon appétit, mes amis! 🙌🏻🍷🥖🧀

Absolutely loved this episode on historic restaurants! @carolynboyd.bsky.social covering Paris, #RichardCorrigan on Bentley's, #JeremyKing explaining why London does not have that many historic restaurants comparatively, but why they are important, #Veeraswamy impending closure, plus so much more.

Parisians! Are Navigo cards generally quite shit? I thought I’d loaded mine correctly ahead of getting on the bus to Gare de l’Est, but it hadn’t worked so got chucked off a few stops later when it still wouldn’t load. Got an earful from driver to add to the joy 🙄🙄🙄

That’s quite enough Farage for one day (lifetime?), leaving the country to escape. Sadly back on Monday…

Loved writing about chefs and vegetables in this edition of @cluboenologique.bsky.social

Get your Friday off to a delicious start with #AmuseBouche author @carolynboyd.bsky.social talking about the world's oldest restaurants with @dansaladino.bsky.social on the BBC Food Programme. Catch it this morning at 11am 🍽️

If you fancy tuning into BBC Radio 4 tomorrow at 11am for The Food Programme, I’m on talking about Paris’ oldest restaurants from within their very walls. So enjoyable to record with @dansaladino.bsky.social

Very late to this party but WOW, what a book…

Hello lovely followers! Just here to say the paperback of Amuse Bouche: How to Eat Your Way Around France comes out in a month! You can pre-order it if you want it the day it’s out. Don’t give your dosh to Bezos tho… Https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/amuse-bouche-carolyn-boyd/6331591?ean=9781800810389

I endorse this message 😂

Can someone please find me a holiday that’s cheap but not grim with flights that aren’t at silly o’clock for 2x adults 2x teens (not in France) where I can perhaps relax for the first time in 4 years. 🙏🙏🙏

This film is excellent and lovely, definitely see it if you get the chance. You'll learn some rural French drinking songs . . .

Can’t wait to see this… www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ap...

Quick reminder: Le Pen wasn't found guilty because the French courts hate democracy. She was found guilty because she broke the fucking law. open.substack.com/pub/iandunt/...

Why, when humans like this exist, do we have such idiots running countries (looking at you 🇺🇸 obv)?
