What was on the table
Tap any dish to look closer.
Coq au Vin
In the copper pot it was cooked in, which is the correct way to meet it
Crepes Suzette
At Le Procope, flamed in orange and served without ceremony
Le Procope
The oldest cafe in Paris, and the macarons arrive on a tower
The Patisserie Counter
Every one of them built like a small piece of architecture
More of the Same
Glazed, mirrored, and lined up in ranks
Everything We Bought
Chocolate, macarons, tea, and a bag that gave up early
The Chocolate Tray
Figs, nuts, caramel, and no two alike
Baked and Bubbling
Cheese gone golden at the edges
Tarte
A wedge of it, and the pastry doing its job
Spaetzle and Cream
Alsace, where the cooking stops being French for a moment
Tartiflette
Potato, bacon, and an unreasonable quantity of Reblochon
The Christmas Market
Colmar, and the smell of it reaching the far side of the square
On the road
The photographs from Kyoto itself, away from the table.
Kyoto, on the road
