My aim is to bring to your table the memory of their traditions and craftsmanship handed down through the ages, to form a bond between past and present. However, just as the course of the Charente river is shaped by the terrain it traverses, my culinary lexicon has been influenced by my life experiences, so as you travel through our terroir, don’t be surprised if you encounter flavours from elsewhere, the sharp tang of citrus fruit or the nutty sweetness of olive oil, for example. I hope you enjoy your culinary voyage of discovery! Sébastien Broda 7 50, Avenue Paul Firino Martell - 16100 Cognac • +33 (0)5 17 22 32 23 THE FOOD-LOVER’S GUIDE 07 Fancy eating...
