I love to cook and cook often!
In fact, I have few greater pleasures than to invite friends over on a weekend for a special meal with good wine.
As for vegetarians in France, yes, they are an endangered species. Just ask Rashaan!
Yours truly,

OK. I'll email you some vegetarian recipes that will pair with red wine--even the great ones, not that I get to pair those on a regular basis. Of course, all you have to do is find out which vegetable dishes are served in Cahors--they seem to pair everything with Malbec...
The last time I was in France--Cahors, Beaucaire, Orange, CdP, Provence, Narbonnes, and Banyuls--I must have gained fifteen pounds in three weeks, mostly from MEAT and wine!!!
