Hi Lori!

I’m so glad to hear that Booj is doing very well. Does this mean that he’s no longer with Splendido?

Brian and I will be visiting this place soon.

Well I live close to Saint Tropez, so let me correct:
- Saint Tropez is not Island and it has definitely not an Island ambiance. It is a tiny provincial town with a very southern france atmosphere: old stoned houses, wine, cheese and olive oil…
- Saint Tropez used to be a haven for hollywood stars in the 50s but this era is long gone although you still have a few saudis and nostalgic jet setters crusing around
- the food presented does not have anything to do with Saint Tropez food and if there might be such a thing as ‘international island cuisine’ it will certainly not be compatible with the very traditional french countryside food they eat in saint tropez (which again has absolutely nothing of an Island feeling!).

this being said the pictures are greatly taken and the food looks definitely worth a try.

Hi Lori!

Congratulations!

Thanks for your tips on the cheesecake. It was a success! My niece loved it.

Thanks again.

Mmm, very imaginative and inventive food ideas! Such a lovely fusion of Filipino and European recipes. More leaning towards Italian, and not French though; which I reckon is better, preferring Italian to the latter. The French lifestyle theme here is bon vivant so the ‘menage’ between the three is so wickedly delightful.
