Announcement! New Hotel, New Life, New Blog!

You have to make it happen. 
- Denis Diderot 


So, friends, it looks like my husband and I just bought a hotel.

A new hotel, a new life, a dream that we have been working hard to realize for many years, deserves a new blog, a brand spanking new Life’s a Feast! I have outgrown this blog space and have finally moved to a platform that will give me the room I need to write stories about the hotel, about our discoveries in this new place, new city, this new life, day to day, and our life in France, along with the recipes and my personal musings as I have always done. *

You will find the new Life’s a Feast at www.lifesafeast.net where you will also discover the enchanting hotel I now own with my husband (who will finally be revealed as well), an auberge de charme in the medieval town of Chinon.

I welcome you to follow this adventure along with me so make sure that you follow the new Life’s a Feast. Don’t forget to “like” the Life’s a Feast Facebook page for all new updates and information, and follow @lifesafeast on Twitter and Instagram for links, updates and photos!

Thank you for inspiring me all of these years since I began writing Life’s a Feast; it is your encouragement and friendship that has kept the blog alive! Now let the adventure continue!


As we open the doors to our new hotel, Ilva Beretta and I have already organized our first Plated Stories Food Photography & Food Writing Workshop/Retreat at the hotel in April! Find all the details and how to register at Plated Stories.

* (I have made the decision not to transfer the almost 7 years of blog posts to the new blog and am keeping this one alive for anyone – including me – who is searching for or wants to consult my recipes. So don’t forget to follow the new!)

P.S. Jamie, Just a quick question: I checked the workshop registration site; there, the announced workshop date is in April, while the picture on the post says May. Which one is the correct?
Thank you so much for your help!

Jamie said...

Oh, thank you for keeping this one active. I know I'll be coming back for recipes often.

Best of luck with your new endeavor. Should I ever travel to France, I will make it a point to stay at your hotel.
