A Foodie Afloat

Follow a cook’s journey through France on a barge in this captivating book by Di Murrell. Join her on a peaceful expedition across the country as she strives to ensure that delicious food graces the table every day.

Through her recipes, Di showcases how the cuisine transforms with the changing landscape, whether procured from the market, harvested from a lock-keeper’s garden or foraged along the towpath. Her culinary creations are always seasonal and sourced locally from the region.

This book is more than just a cookbook; it is a chronicle of a life spent on the waterways of Europe. Di engages with lock-keepers, working barge skippers and those, like her, who find their subsistence on or near the canal. Her love of good champagne, foie gras and truffles leads to an intriguing blend of simplicity and sophistication in her cooking. The boating life, though rarely sensational, is filled with small events and fortuitous encounters.

This is an alluring tale of slow boats and slow food. Di brings it to life, and her combination of travel and recipe book entices us to abandon everything and join her on the waterways of Northern and Central France.
