Cuisine and Autumn in the Haute Savoie Fall 2013 The Newsletter of the Vol. 13 No. 3 Mercer Island Sister City Association Cuisine and Autumn in the Haute Savoie Recently on Cannon Beach in Oregon, I was reminded of the fast approach of Fall, as three waves of Canada Geese, each 75-100 strong, flew in quick succession overhead in V formation. A honking chorus enthusiastically announced their Southbound flight, powered by dark, strongly beating wings, their bodies all shining in contrast, lit by the setting sun to the west over the Pacific. There is no doubt that with Fall comes movement and change, as well as a return to the familiar. In October, a group of adult members of the Mercer Island Sister City Association will be “winging our way” to our sister city Thonon-les-Bains in the Haute Savoie region of France. Linda Todd MISCA President Once there, our itinerary will take us, among other places, from the canals of Vieux Annecy to a small maker of fine French fromage in the foothills of the Alps above Thonon; from fine dining in a chateau along the shores of Lake Geneva (Lac Leman) to a stay at the lovely Auberge d’Anthy, with its renowned owner and chef of the lake and local foods; from the beautifully preserved lakeside medieval village Yvoire to the nearby town of Bourg-en-Bresse, where the beautiful Cathédrale Notre-Dame de l'Annonciation de Bourg-en-Bresse stands through time in testament to the enduring love of a woman for her husband and where the local specialties are dishes of Volaille de Bresse (Bresse chicken) and Grenouille (Bresse frog legs). Amidst this array of outings and fine sampling of the local cuisine, the highlight of all will be our stay and cooking classes at the L’École Hôtelier Savoie Léman, one of the oldest and finest schools in France for preparing and training chefs and professionals in the Hotel industry. We are fortu- nate that the school’s staff will provide us with several days of lessons in fine French cooking, and that we will also enjoy several dinners there prepared by the schools students and chef instructors. We will no doubt return with more memories of unforgettable times with our French friends old and new, stories of our travels, and some fine recipes to share! Bon Appetit! Meanwhile, locally, we hope you will join us for upcoming events as you find details of these and other happenings in this issue. Our French Conversation Evenings, friendly gatherings to practice French, return on September 24. OSS 117: LeCaire, Nid d'Espions, our Mercer Island Fall French film, screens on November15.

Before their silent hit The Artist, the same leading actors and director made this hilarious spoof of James Bond films. Hubert Bonisseur de La Bath, aka OSS 117 (Jean Dujardin), is supposedly France’s best secret agent, but he happens to be extremely clumsy and culturally clueless. Can he possibly stop a North African spy network, interna- tional terrorists, rogue militants, and maybe even bring peace to the Middle East? Lance Rhodes, a featured scholar in the Humanities Washington's Speakers Bureau, will provide introduction and post commentary. In addition to teaching several years at UW, he has lectured on literature and film throughout North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. He teaches annually at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Wine and cheese will be hosted by Aljoya in the lobby prior to OSS 117: Le Caire, Nid d'Espions.

Maison de France The Art of French Living Maison de France is an upscale interior design boutique and showroom, carrying exclusively French home furnishings in Bellevue. A visit to Maison de France feels like stepping into a charming boutique while vacationing in France, though you will instead be just a few miles from home. Owner Blaise Bouchand, a native of Paris, France, spent his early career in the hotel industry. Former 1992 France’s Youngest Hôtelier, he also earned several culinary certificates in French cooking & baking at the Ecole Ritz Escoffier Paris. Growing up, he was drawn to- wards French interior design, skills that he learned from his aunt, a talented decorator. He always wanted to share the Art of French Living with people. Attracted by the American entrepreneurial spirit and deeply passionate about bringing the Art of French Living to the United States, he moved to Bellevue, WA. In 1996, he combined his Business School diploma and his passion for French interiors to create the boutique showroom, Maison de France, which features authentic imported French home furnishings and offers interior design services.

So let’s hit the road and learn about the Burgundy she discovered. I really didn’t know much of anything about Burgundy. Not much more than a few cliches: mustard, wine and some of the cities like Dijon, Auxerre and Beaune. Really nothing all that concrete, you know? So when Paul suggested that we take a little spin there, I didn’t need convincing. So much so that Véronique would still helping me plan the trip. This is a perfect opportunity to be guided by local experts. They gave me the addresses of their favorite places and hidden finds. And I can certainly tell you this: This trip absolutely rocks!

Daddy was a tolerant, indulgent, fun-loving man fully capable of suffering fools gladly, but stretch his patience to the absolute limit, or try to challenge him about something he deemed important, and he’d stare at you with his piercing, dark, Greek eyes, raise an eyebrow, and say, “Listen, I’ve been to the circus and seen the elephant”—meaning he’d moved around, covered the territory, taken in the big show, and absorbed a bit of wisdom. Although the testy expression no doubt has its ambiguities, I know of none other that sums up better the flush, uproarious, refractory, often combative life I’ve led over the past forty-odd years as a frus- trated teacher and scholar, a feisty food journalist and iconoclastic writer, a soi-disant gay blade, and an overall fop perched under the Big Top.

To get to grips with these wines requires a steep learning curve, but the effort can pay off if you have a passion for unusual flavours, intriguing food and wine matches and spectacular countryside. The little town of Arbois provides the perfect base to unravel the mystery of the wines of the Jura. Close enough to explore the caves of the vignerons in villages such as Montigny les Arsures or Pupillin, it is also the best centre to discover the handful of switched-on The town of Arbois, decked out for the Fête du Biou, which takes restaurateurs who have developed menus to partner place each September. © Wink Lorch these unusual wines. Poligny, one of the main crossroads to the Alps, is the centre of production for Jura's most famous cheese, Comté – the surrounding rolling hills, beyond the vineyards, are home to the attractive and sturdy Montbéliard breed of cows. Their cheeses just happen to make a perfect match for Vin Jaune, Jura's most celebrated wines. Geography The Jura, France's smallest wine region with around 1,600 hectares lies 80km (50 miles) directly east of Burgundy's Côte d'Or. The vineyards run northeast – southwest on the western foothills of the Jura Mountains.
