Roussillon (in the Vaucluse) houses fellow countryman and friend Mr. Rosen, who runs Vaucluse Blog. Roussilon, per the Times, is "where ochre mining has sculpted the earth into canyons of red and gold" and lies way over in West Provence.
Rosen entertained me on Saturday night at his London home to a fine spread. We had warm squid salad with lardons, lamb daube (slow-cooked all day), followed by baked peaches (or were they apricots?). I am glad that Rosen's culinary exposure to best practice Provencal cuisine in Roussillon is being retained in leafy Fulham.
