French Cheese, Strawberry Festival & Air-Fryer Recipes: Pre-order issue 6 now
The wait is almost over! The sixth issue of Taste of France magazine is just around the corner, and we can barely contain our excitement. As the sun begins to warm the terraces and market stalls brim with spring delights, there’s no better time to indulge in the joy of French gastronomy.
In this upcoming edition, we invite you on a culinary journey that will take you to the heart of France’s most beloved regions. We start in the north, where the rustic charm of bouchons and winstubs will transport you to a world of comforting cuisine.
Next, we head to the historic city of Arras, where Flemish influences blend seamlessly with French flair. Here, you’ll discover a unique culinary landscape that reflects the city’s rich cultural heritage. From hearty stews to delicate pastries, every dish tells a story of the region’s history and traditions.

If you can picture yourself sipping a glass of crisp white wine as you savour the brininess of freshly shucked oysters, the sun setting over the tranquil waters of a gorgeous étang, then follow us to the Etang de Thau, where the freshest oysters and finest wines await.

As spring gives way to summer, we find ourselves in the picturesque town of Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne, where the vibrant Fête de la Fraise is in full swing. This colourful celebration of strawberries is a true delight, with stalls overflowing with juicy fruits, artisanal jams, and sweet treats that will satisfy any sweet tooth. It’s the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and tastes of rural France.
But that’s not all. We also delve into the larders of the Vendée, Calvados, and Corsica, uncovering the hidden gems and local specialties that make each region unique. Whether it’s the creamy cheeses of Normandy, the succulent seafood of the Vendée, or the fragrant herbs of Corsica, every region has its own story to tell through its cuisine.

For those with a passion for fine spirits, we offer exclusive behind-the-scenes tours of Maison Rémy Martin and Hennessy, two of the most prestigious cognac houses in France. Learn about the art of blending, the secrets of aging, and the craftsmanship that goes into creating these iconic brands.
Wine enthusiasts will be thrilled by our exploration of the Corbières wine region, where rolling hills, ancient vineyards, and innovative winemaking techniques come together to produce some of France’s most exciting wines. From full-bodied reds to crisp whites, every wine tells a story of the region’s terroir and the people who cultivate it.

Throughout the issue, you’ll also find expert insights from Michelin-starred chefs Marcus Wareing and Fabien Ferré, who share their secrets for creating truly unforgettable dishes. And if you’re looking to elevate your cheese game, cheesemonger Ned Palmer is on hand to guide you through the art of eating fromage like a true French connoisseur.

But what about cooking? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! With 32 easy-to-make recipes, you’ll find inspiration for everything from quick midweek lunches to dazzling dinner parties. And for those short on time, our air fryer classics will show you how to create French favourites with minimal fuss and maximum flavour.
