Our second - and last - Workaway adventure took us to a small hotel near Bourges, a small city about an hour and a half south of Paris. We would spend the next two weeks helping out in the kitchen and garden. We spent the next two weeks with our lovely host, Catherine, eating decadent French food. I learned to make jams and chutneys and Preston planted a new tomato garden and built a compost area. We also became friends with some wonderful new people, Clemence and Thomas, and we hope to visit them in Lyon as well as host them in Saint Louis very soon!

I'll keep this short, the photos of the food really speak for themselves.

Roasted rabbit with pasta and a yogurt sauce.

Rabbit tagine with cous cous. Incredible.

Gluten free orange cake with English creme.

The finished jars of citrus jam I helped make.

Preston made over roasted ribs for our host. They were so good, they made it to the restaurant menu!

Seafood risotto we paired with a fantastic Muscadet we found in a Bourges wine shop.
