Weekend food with Darina Allen

WE’VE been in Bordeaux for a couple of days celebrating Jean Pierre Moullé’s significant birthday.

Friends from all over the world arrived by train, boats and planes — all gathered together to eat, drink and be very merry.

Jean Pierre, one of the head chefs at Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California, USA, is married to Denise Lourton of the Lourton wine dynasty in Bordeaux, so we dined well.
