I had the pleasure of dining at La Mas Tourteron in Gordes France,
with two great friends last week. It was an amazing dining experience
that lasted hours and left us giggling with glee at the beauty
and simplicity of the food put in front of us.
Here is what I ate.

Whipped avocado with Serrano pepper and olive oil, served with bread.

Sweet and sour pickled vegetable salad
Fennel, carrots, onions, celery and red pepper

And citrus vinaigrette

As we walked out of the restaurant through the ivy archways, fruit trees and jasmine to the car, we stopped and grabbed some dark red cherries that were still warm from the sun for the road.

They were a perfect close to the night.
