Jamie Oliver's TV programme Jamie Does French Pyrénéees was recently on British TV. But we reckon he didn't leave the Lot Department of France where we are based. We recognised all the sites he visited, so it should have been called Jamie Does The Lot.

"This is peasant country where, although the people are not wealthy, they eat like kings.. The food here is rich and fatty, yet they have the highest life-expectancy in France. Jamie goes truffle-hunting with a pig and boar hunting with dogs. He is knighted into an order of serious bread makers and makes sausages with a professional. He cooks Rustic Roquefort salad, Fresh truffle Omelette, Classic Tarte Tatin, Old school Confit of Duck, and makes a Country style Terrine."

Jamie cooks terrine at Chateau Chambert

Philippe Lejeune (owner) and Jamie taste the wines at Chateau Chambert - where we visit on our cycling and wine tours.

Jamie learns how to make the Lot specialist bread the Croustilot and becomes an honary member of their order.
