Recipes & Food
Food is a very serious business in France.
In fact in 2010 UNESCO added French
cuisine to the list of cultural objects that are
called ‘intangible cultural heritage.
The food of each region is quite different
with each region having its own specialties
which have traditionally come from what is
available on the land or sea.
The Dordogne is famous for foie gras and
other duck products such as confit de
canard and margret de canard, cabacous
the small goats cheese from Rocamadour
and walnuts from which gateaux noix and
vin de noix are produced.
The French people consistently vote the
Dordogne as the #1 food region in France.
