Yes, it’s another repeat post but thankfully this one isn’t about another Manif in the city centre. This weekend it’s the first Sunday of the month and as usual (September – June) that means that the museums are free. Château des Ducs de...
Cauliflower and Pasta Bake
With both Lidl and SuperU running specials on Cauliflowers at the moment I thought why not share one of our firm favourite winter dishes. To start with you’re going to need about 6 ingredients. This recipe is rather forgiving so you can add in more or less as...
A new transport “line” in Nantes
So not a huge change here but the C5 is going to be renamed the ligne 5 from Thursday the 27th Feb 2020… which well .. pretty much just means you’ll be able to get on via any door you like. You still need to stamp/beep your ticket/card. The buses will be...
Salmon and Leek Quiche
Another rather simple but incredibly tasty recipe. It’s my version of a Salmon and Leek quiche. I’m including a price list from SuperU above … you can mix and match your ingredients … for example in my version last night I didn’t have any...

Sausage and Veggie Rice Bake
This for me is comfort food that’s packed with loads of veg! The below is what we cook for the 4 of us with some leftovers for the next day. It’s an easily forgiving recipe so you can change the ingredients quite easily. Ingredients: 300g rice ( get it...
Paku Paku Japanese Restaurant in Nantes
So what’s the best Japanese restaurant in Nantes? I’m going to have to go with Paku Paku … damn, wait … I’m meant to put this in towards the end of the review. Saturday saw us heading out as a family for my wife’s birthday, her...
The Carnaval Workshop 2020
As I posted up last week … the Carnaval workshop was open last Saturday and Sunday to the public. It’s always worth a wander around it with the kids (Unfortunately I just stopped by on Sunday on the way to the market) the weather was pretty bad in the...

Cycling in France Laws
An interesting topic springs up this morning on one of the forums .. What are the laws concerning cycling in France? 🙂 Do you have to wear a helmet? Do you need high visibility clothing? Lights? A bell? First up do you need a helmet? Un enfant de moins de 12 ans doit...

Jimmy’s Home Made Coconut Naans
Naans make a great addition to any Indian curry. Below is a recipe I’ve used quite a few times now I find it rather forgiving and I’ve yet to go wrong with the recipe. 125ml of warm water 1 sachet of yeast 1 teaspoon of sugar 300g flour 1 sachet of baking...
Spinach and Potato Curry
So I’m back with my wife’s favourite curry! It’s quite a quick curry to get going. It’ll take about 40 minutes in total to cook. I’m also just using my normal phone for the photos so hopefully, the quality is ok 🙂 As always you can adjust...
