Specialities
Cassoulet is the most famous dish from South west France. Cassoulet can be translated as "bean pot stew" or "white bean stew" or "meat and bean casserole". Origin of cassoulet is not very clear some historian say it is an Arab dish, some other says it was created in Castelnaudary during the Hundred Years' war (14-15th Century). In France, there are as many cassoulet recipes as cook but for all recipes there are some basic rules to follow : A good cassoulet has to include 70% of haricot beans, juice and aromates and 30% of meat and you have to keep in mind that it is a simmered dish. There are 3 famous recipes: - Cassoulet de Castelnaudary, is made up with pork meat. - Cassoulet de Toulouse, is more rich than the Castelnaudary recipe as you add in particular lamb and sausages. - Cassoulet de Carcassonne: is also made up with partridge. Contrary to what some people think, cassoulet is good for health and relatively light, 700 to 800 kcal for one platter. However cassoulet is rather a winter dish and when you serve one, consider it is a complete meal so do not plan more than a salad and a light dessert or fruit with it.

The Corbières is one of the wildest areas of France with one of the lowest population densities. It is picturesque with wine growing areas alternating with garigue and mountainous countryside. It is located mainly in the Aude département and partly in the Pyrénées-Orientales département. The River Aude borders the Corbières to the west and north. To the south is the River Agly and to the east the the Mediterranean Sea. The name Corbières comes from "cor" a pre-Celtic word meaning "rock" and "berre" from the River Berre which runs through Durban. The eastern part of the Corbières with its Etangs, borders the the Mediterranean Sea and is called the Corbières maritimes. It has its own distinctive climate and characteristic vegetation known as thermomediterranean vegetation...

Vin de Pays d’Oc,
Vin de Pays de l’Aude |
| |
Vin de Pays means 'country wine' to the French, but to outsiders it can mean New World with a French accent. These are the wines which the French authorities unreservedly allow to be labelled with the grape variety from which they were made. It is difficult to over-estimate the importance of this large and growing category of wines for the future of the French wine trade. The French themselves may have tended to see any Vin de Pays as distinctly inferior to any appellation contrôlée wine, whereas many of their customers abroad see the better Vins de Pays as good-value, user-friendly, sometimes high-quality non-conformist emissaries from the world's most revered wine producer....
