Perrenette Rolin's Signet Ring from Beaune, France dated to the Mid 15th Century on display at the Hôtel-Dieu Museum in Beaune, France

This woman's ring shows the arms of Perrenette Rolin, the daughter of the first cousin of Nicolas Rolin's father, and the wife of Jean Jacquelin, an adviser to the Duke of Burgundy Philippe le Bon. It is the sort of signet ring used by the upper classes in the 15th century. The octagonal bezel with a hollowed out cord running around shows a coat of arms of Perrenette Rolin. The ring was discovered in a vineyard in Beaune 1862 and was bought by the Comte Anatolie de Juine, who donated it to the Hôtel-Dieu Museum.

Beaune -2024-

Beaune Rooftops by Dan Gildor

From Dijon, we headed south through the Cote de Nuits in a cold rain. Unsure which of the many places offering degustation we should stop at, we ended up taking a turn off the road into a residential neighborhood, where we proceeded to go up to someone's door, knock, and ask in broken French whether there is wine tasting available nearby. We were directed around the outside of the building where we then were let into that particular house's wine cellar to taste the family's wine.

I'd like to think that as the tasting went on, my French came back to me, because it seemed as though I could understand more and more. At least enough to be directed to a restaurant for lunch.

And what a recommendation it was: Restaurant Simon, which now goes by Restaurant Christian Quenel (even though all the pictures on the website still feature the Restaurant Simon placard outside). The food was excellent, even if we got very strange looks when we turned down the cheese course because we were stuffed (and potentially confused). But never have we ever had fish dishes like the ones we had then. We were so enamored with the dishes that when we asked in drunken French where the fish came from, the gesticulation toward the east and the French "de la rivière la bas" implied that it was simply the local fish from the river over yonder.

Seriously. That is how it goes in the French countryside.

RECIPE: Heirloom Tomato Soup (from The Cook’s Atelier by Marjorie Taylor and Kendall Smith Francini)

In the height of summer, the Beaune market overflows with every shape, size, and color of tomato imaginable. This soup is only as good as the tomatoes that you use, so look for ripe, juicy ones. You can use any type or color of tomato, but we strongly recommend that you purchase heirloom varieties at your farmers’ market, or source them from a friend with a garden. This soup is best served very cold.

Serves 8 to 10

For the soup

4 pounds (1.8 kg) ripe heirloom tomatoes

2 medium cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and coarsely chopped

3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped

¼ cup (60 ml) sherry vinegar

⅓ cup (80 ml) extra-virgin olive oil, preferably French

Fleur de sel and freshly ground black pepper

For the garnish

1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded, and finely diced

1 cup (150 g) finely diced assorted sweet peppers

1 cup (145 g) tiny heirloom tomatoes, halved or quartered, depending on their size

¼ cup (35 g) finely diced red onion or shallot

¼ cup (15 g) thinly sliced green onion greens

Small handful of small fresh basil leaves and blossoms (optional)

Fruity extra-virgin olive oil, preferably French, for drizzling

Make the soup: To peel the tomatoes, bring a large pot of water to a boil and fill a bowl with ice and water. Use a sharp paring knife to make a tiny X on the bottom of each tomato. Working in batches, add the tomatoes to the boiling water and blanch just until the skin is starting to peel away, 30 to 60 seconds. Use a slotted spoon to lift the tomatoes out of the boiling water and immediately plunge them into the ice water. Gently peel off the tomato skins and coarsely chop the tomatoes, removing and discarding the cores, but reserving the juices. Transfer the chopped tomatoes and their juices to a large bowl and add the cucumbers and garlic.

Working in batches, in a blender, puree the tomato mixture, adding enough sherry vinegar and olive oil to allow the mixture to spin. Blend until smooth, then strain through a chinois into a 2 quart (2-L) container. Repeat until all the soup is blended. Season with salt and pepper, then cover and refrigerate until completely cold, or preferably overnight.

Make the garnish: In a small bowl, combine the cucumbers, sweet peppers, tomatoes, red onion, and most of the onion greens and most of the basil (if using). Divide the garnish among 8 to 10 chilled, shallow soup bowls, arranging it in the center. Remove the soup from the refrigerator and carefully ladle it into the bowls over the garnish. Sprinkle with the remaining onion greens and basil (if using), drizzle with olive oil, and serve immediately.

The debut cookbook from The Cook’s Atelier—the international culinary destination and cooking school in Burgundy—is a beautifully photographed resource on classic French cuisine and an atmospheric chronicle of a family’s life in a charming French village.

Mother and daughter American expats Marjorie Taylor and Kendall Smith Franchini always dreamed of living in France. With a lot of hard work and a dash of fate, they realized this dream and cofounded The Cook’s Atelier, a celebrated French cooking school in the storybook town of Beaune, located in the heart of the Burgundy wine region. Combining their professional backgrounds in food and wine, they attract visitors from near and far with their approachable, convivial style of cooking.

Featuring more than 100 market-inspired recipes and 300 exceptional photographs, this comprehensive reference is an extension of their cooking school, providing a refreshingly simple take on French techniques and recipes that every cook should know—basic butchery, essential stocks and sauces, pastry, dessert creams and sauces, and preserving, to name a few. Seasonal menus build on this foundation, collecting recipes that showcase their fresh, vegetable-focused versions of timeless French dishes, such as:

Green Garlic Soufflé

Watermelon and Vineyard Peach Salad

Little Croques Madames

Sole Meunière with Beurre Blanc and Parsleyed Potatoes

Seared Duck Breast with Celery Root Puree and Chanterelles

Madeleines

Plum Tarte Tatin

Almond-Cherry Galette

Stories of food and life in the village and the unique atmosphere of the atelier accent this personal cookbook. We can almost hear the clanking of the copper pots, the hiss of the vintage espresso machine, and the merriment around the table, as we meet some of the region’s best small farmers and artisanal producers and experience how Marjorie and Kendall’s family works together to create this special place.

More than a practical introduction to classic French cooking, this richly illustrated volume is also a distinctively designed celebration of the French art of joie de vivre and an inspirational primer on adopting elements of the French lifestyle, no matter where you live.

Blogpost 4

This history of photography was fascinating to read about, especially Walter walking through different eras of the medium, noting the historical reasons behind some of the aspects defining each period of time. I particularly was interested in his discussion of the relationship between photography and other art forms. He noted that painting is more artistic and has some overlap with photography, but the latter requires technical expertise as well in order to be successful. Some go so far as to say that they would attribute their achievement as photographers to their technical training rather than the artistic side. Photography in modern day seems to be split into two or three processes. The first is the artistic side: decide on a subject and setting, how to position the camera, if there is a model and what they should be doing. The second is the technical manipulation of the camera: how to take the picture, what should the settings of a digital camera be, how much light to include. The last optional process is the editing of a photo using a program such as Photoshop to refine the image. I would think that both the artistic and the technical knowledge is needed, but was surprised to read that the technical might be worth more than the artistic creativity. 

Walter seems to note some contention of qualifying photography as an art form. Currently it could be used for so much more than purely artistic expression. Photos are taken to keep record of significant occurrences, to publicize important events in newspapers, to remember special times with loved ones or experiences, and more. It somehow doesn��t seem that it should fit in the same category with painting and sculpture, but there is certainly overlap. As a discussion question, to what extent is photography an art form? Does it depend on the situation or intent of the photographer?
