A Taste of Normandy

Patrice Cauchard, a French chef from Normandy, was the owner of Darcau on Bedford Corner in Chiswick, now sadly closed. He had formerly been head chef at Brinkley's, the highly popular South Kensington Brasserie and had provided dinners for a couple of Prime Ministers, President Clinton and Her Majesty The Queen. Exclusively for Talking Of Food, Patrice and his assistant cooked two classic dishes from his native Normandy, Guinea Fowl Vallée d'Auge and a Leek and Camembert Tartlet.

Here are the recipes for Guinea Fowl Vallée d'Auge and Leek and Camembert Tartlet.
