I too have very fond memories of shelling peas with my Grandmother. I was about 4 years old, and having a little holiday with my grandparents on their small farm in the Waikato district, here in New Zealand. I remember going and picking the peas with Nana, and sitting on the back steps shelling them with her. "One for you and one for the pot", I remember her saying to me as she popped a pea in my mouth. Thank you for giving me such a wonderful memory - it was 67 years ago! Love and Hugs xx
(Moira Ashton) Oh boy- all that delicious food you cooked Belinda! No wonder Lee was salivating, Awwww! Dear little Misty, she is doing well finding her way around bless her, her little tail wagging,, thank you for the lovely vlog both of you!!! Happy gardening! 💗💗🍓🍓🥒🌶🥬🍒🥓🥓🥚🥚🧀🧀
Really enjoy your vlogs. Your repartee is quite amusing and your cooking is exceptional. I feel your sorrow around Misty's blindness --we have a 12 year old Maine Coon cat who developed diabetes three years ago and went blind last winter. We had the blood pressure checked (which is primary cause) and it was okay. He gets around the house just fine and takes most comfort by being in a lap or in our bed--we're he is most of the time. I think he's still happy and content. My best to you both in your future endeavors.
Brilliant. The salad looked delicious and I'm definitely going to try the spinach dish. :) So lovely to see you two and Misty with her tail wagging furiously. I did send Lee a DM when she was first poorly but I think he missed it, probably out picking peas! :) :) We had a little dog who was blind and he adapted so well. Our vet always used to say that a confident blind dog is happier than a nervous sighted dog.
As always, love to see you gathering all your fresh vegetables from your lovely garden and then all you creative uses of you home produced items. This looks delightful and am I’m inspired to make it myself. Thank you so very much. 😘
Wow looks so delicious Belinda, I make Spanakoriso....aka spinach risotto Greek style with olive oil and chopped tomatoes and lots of chopped fennel one of my all time favourites. Also Greeks use all the broad bean skin and all but only small tender ones like the size you had picked just cooked then lemon juice and olive oil dressing the skins are tender and taste of the broad bean and no waste 👍👍👍
Fabulous. Loved how Misty joined you whilst picking the veg and then seeing you cook with it all. You are both getting better and better - well done. Oh and I am very pleased to say I have very small tomato plants grown from cutting a few tomato’s up and planting ( as shown by you two - so thank you for sharing) 💐
Your garden looks healthy and abundant, hard work but so delicious and healthy. Belinda, the recipes made such good use of your harvest and made me drool. Lovely to see you both, thanks🙏🏻❤️
Well done Belinda and Lee, I do enjoy your vlogs and when they do come onto UA-cam they’re alway interesting and not rushed. I’m going to try the eggs florentine with Swiss chard as we have loads of it and it very much like spinach xxx
I'm glad Misty is out and about! She's so happy to be with you! Your garden is beautiful!! Love you too in the kitchen!! Lots of fun!! Love from Vermont
There's nothing quite like growing your own food. The potager looks great. Love the recipe too - I'm going to try this. I usually grow tomatoes and cucumbers but on a much smaller scale. 😊
Your garden is Beautiful! I took the end of my celery head and put it in the ground and now I have celery growing. Your dishes look YUMMY! Another great day at Chateau Mareuil! LOVE from Chicago
Young Spinach works brilliantly as salad. I put it on sandwiches, so delicious. I am still making that Lettuce Soup recipe you showed and I used spinach for that instead of lettuce. So delicious. Funny thing about South London, these days you literally have to be an oil tycoon to afford to live there! Thank you for the video!
Everything looks so delicious, it’s wonderful to see Misty getting around well, bless her heart..........the garden is looking fabulous Lee....take care .......awful heat wave here in Toronto, summer has arrived..........Donna in Toronto
Love the idea for the salad Belinda and will be sure to make it. I really do enjoy your vlogs. Nothing nicer than home produced produce, eggs florentine is my favourite. Looking forward to the next Chateau Kitchen recipes.
Hi Belinda &Lee nice to see u again could u put the recipe up on ur pie got the recipe for the salad dip and going to try it for my family, your garden looks great.
The meal looked delicious Belinda! Well done to both of you on that great looking garden! I will try making your Florentine casserole soon. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Lovely recipes Belinda! A great way to use broad beans is to pick the pods when they are still very small and the beans are only starting to form and cook them like French beans. They are really lovely and go much further. A cross between French and broad beans in flavour. We also cooked the peas as Mange tout to get more from the crop. Did Lee know you can make pea-pod wine?
Wow, I’m salivating, I’ve just added walnut oil to my food delivery. Can’t wait to try it. I’ve just had a bean salad for my lunch with radishes Mareuil. Like you Belinda I have vivid memories of podding peas and beans as a child, I remember clearly my Mum coming and putting a sun hat on my head, I think I was four maybe five. Happy memories. So glad you are living your best live at the beautiful Chateau Mareuil. Getting to my little house in Normandie is still proving impossible, I was hoping for July, fingers crossed for September now, I can’t tell you how much I’m missing it. Love and appreciate your videos x
Thanks Paris, I actually use nut vinegar, but I'm sure the walnut oil would work also. Thanks for your lovely comments and really hoping you get back to Nomandy soon x
How delicious yet simple you make everything seem. My mouth is watering for both the salad and egg dish. Thank you for sharing and it's terrific to see you both.... hair is looking amazing Belinda.
It’s good to see you both again! And Misty the dog! She’s looking really well. The food looks scrumptious. I’ll have to give some of those recipes a try. Take care, Mary
Your garden and everything looks beautiful! The food looks so yummy! I'll definitely try the recipes. Belinda and Lee, Thank you for taking the time to vlog and sharing your recipes with us! Enjoyed it very much! I'm very curious about the nut vinegar and the brand you use. xx
Hi Gigi, the nut vinegar is a brand called Maille and is widely available here in France. Glad you enjoy our vlogs and thank for taking the time to watch and comment, it really means a lot to us.
Those dishes look yummy!! I will have to try them. Great prolific garden! Love watching you guys!! Have a great week and I am so happy your little dog is doing fine.
So excited to find you again! Somehow , many of my subscribed u tube video’s I watched somehow became unsubscribed . It has taken me so many tries to get your name of your chateau again . I so enjoyed watching and really missed you guys 🤨love your cooking . Also to mention the name of the magazine which has your recipes please . 🌺
how wonderful your garden is. My efforts to keep a nest of bunnies out of my garden has been futile. They are decimating my garden :( Sure is A LOT of work growing food!!
I was about to say that the great crops could be from the rain! Our strawberries are the best ever! THEN you said about shucking peas with your gran in Salisbury! whereabouts? mine lived in Laverstock and I remember sitting in her garden picking and eating her peas :0)
I get back to Salisbury a bit (before COVID) and love it! spent a few years there in the 80s when I worked in several of the pubs (at different times). 💜
Hi Belinda and Lee I've just found your channel and am starting to catch up on previous videos, the salad dressing sounds delicious, I've looked on Amazon and they don't have nut vinegar, could you tell me if it's called anything else please? As I'd love to make some of the dressing myself, thank you 🙂
No break for us I'm afraid Patricia, but we've been really busy with another project which was filmed for TV, so we can't say anything about it shhhhhhh.......
Everything looks delicious. I will definitely need to find a nut vinegar. I was wondering if y’all have been able to book any events? How is business? ❤️😊

Love and hugs back Karen, nice to hear you have happy memories too
More than any others, your potager and cooking videos take me away to France. Thank you!

Thanks Moira, yes, Misty is really getting along very well - she's been to the groomer this morning, so looks and smells lovely! x
Loving watching the two interacting in your own special way. Not at all how we remember you all those years ago! Long may it continue
Belinda you are such a multitasker...Can't believe how many things you think up and make....Yummy!!! So happy baby Misty is making the rounds...
Abundantly grateful for your productions from Chateau Mareuil.

I love seeing what you make from your own produce, Belinda and I also agree with you on having a better cooked egg yolk! Xx
I love all your videos. Much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸💖
Lovely recipes Belinda! A great way to use broad beans is to pick the pods when they are still very small and the beans are only starting to form and cook them like French beans.

Belinda, I'm all for cooked through yolks, too. I can't even look at a runny egg! Beautiful dish!
My son and daughter also - I've passed it on!

I know, I often wonder whether it's really worth it!
Ohhh..my heart ❤️ so sweet.
I just adore you both
I was about to say that the great crops could be from the rain! Our strawberries are the best ever!
THEN you said about shucking peas with your gran in Salisbury! whereabouts? mine lived in Laverstock and I remember sitting in her garden picking and eating her peas :0)
Oh wow, my granny lived in Britford Lane, it's very close to Laverstock such happy memories of childhood and I thnk you're right about the rain!
I get back to Salisbury a bit (before COVID) and love it! spent a few years there in the 80s when I worked in several of the pubs (at different times). 💜
Hope you will have a new video soon. I was checking earlier today. All the best from 🇨🇦
Bon appétit 😉😉😁👍
What kind of cheese did you put on the hot spinach dish?
Hi Belinda and Lee
I've just found your channel and am starting to catch up on previous videos, the salad dressing sounds delicious, I've looked on Amazon and they don't have nut vinegar, could you tell me if it's called anything else please? As I'd love to make some of the dressing myself, thank you 🙂
You can cook brood brand with the pods on with the first drop. Turkish dish. Zeytinyaĝli Bakla. You eat it cols with yogert with garlik
You will nead to pul the stringy sides off. Delicius
I like firm egg yolks too:))
Hello, when you say nut vinegar are you referring to walnut vinegar.?
Have u both taken a break, haven't been on for ages.
No break for us I'm afraid Patricia, but we've been really busy with another project which was filmed for TV, so we can't say anything about it shhhhhhh.......
Everything looks delicious. I will definitely need to find a nut vinegar. I was wondering if y’all have been able to book any events? How is business? ❤️😊
looks more like Shard? cant see your spinach clearly??
❤️😀
U can keep sowing more seeds
Strange picture quality…. Very grainy.
