Last Supper at Les Clandestins Cancelled

We are sorry to announce cancellation of the last supper of the season at
Les Clandestins scheduled for 28 September.  As you probably know,
especially if you have joined us this summer, we have no indoor alternative
in case of rain, which is forecast for the weekend.   But it is hard to
complain after having been thankfully blessed with clear skies for eleven
Saturday soirées.
Thank you to everyone who participated in our adventure and filled each
evening with bonhomie, laughter, and sparkling conversation.  Thank you too
for your support and encouragement, endless patience, and for jumping into
the spirit of our communal table with both feet.  We couldn't have hoped
for a more positive response.
Work is underway to arrange an indoor venue to accommodate Les
Clandestinsfor an occasional supper during the cold and rainy months
ahead, so watch this space for news as it happens.

Six weeks after launching our Supper Club,

we are thrilled with the success of Les Clandestins.  Each Saturday, we have welcomed twelve exuberant, engaging, and gracious individuals who have jumped into the spirit of making new friends over wine, food, and laughter.  Thank you to all who have made these evenings memorable and mille bisous for the indulgence and finesse extended to your often calamitous cooks.
 
Last Saturday our jolly table boasted representatives from England, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and, of course, La France.



We also had a surprise and hilarious visit from a rather inspirational couple.



So if you haven't already joined us, please do before the season ends and don't forget to whisper "Les Clandestins" in the ears of your sagacious and bawdy friends and visitors.

  A bientôt!

Georges and Pamela

Menus for 20 and 27 Juillet


We're Off to a Good Start!

Despite a few hiccups in the kitchen, our first two dinners were a great success.  Our intrepid guests were enthusiastic, lively, and fun.  New friendships were made and, all in all, it turned out exactly as we had hoped.  Thank you charter members of Les Clandestins!

Cotignac Has a New Supper Club


Nestled  under  the  cliffs  in  the  heart  of  Cotignac  is Les  Clandestinsa  table  for  twelve,
where  once  a  week  you  can  kick  off  your  shoes  and  dine  under  the  stars  in  a  laid-back
atmosphere of convivial conversation.
Each  week  will  feature  a  different  fixed  menu  of  unfussy  seasonal  cuisine,  using,  when
possible, ingredients sourced from local growers, artisan producers, and Mother Nature.
Your hosts and chefs (using the term loosely) will be friends Georges, Provençal thru and thru, and Pamela,  a  displaced  New  Yorker.   Once fierce competitors  in the annual  Cotignac  Concours de Soupe, they have retired their duelling ladles in favour of  their mutual love of  food and good company to serve up a bit of chalk and cheese.

So come  with  your  amour,  your  mom,  your  mates,  or  just  with  your  smile  and  rub  elbows with locals and tourists, aristocrats and reprobates, the civilized and the debaucherous for an evening of food and folly.
Our debut dinner is scheduled for July 6th and places are limited so please reserve early by calling 06 22 94 89 53. To receive upcoming menus, sign up for our mailing list by sending your name and email address to cotignacpam@gmail.com.
We look forward to seeing your happy faces around our table for twelve at Les Clandestins, where you dine with strangers and leave with new friends.  A bientot!
