Aww Selmar in from the cold and after a hard day's work, has a nice hot meal saved for him. He's well cared for.

My favourite game is 'guess who's behind the camera', by the little chuckles you get every now and then :)

[@lindalastname6306]

Ok I love goat man, he seems so fun, interesting and friendly

[@27Spiritgirl]

Adorable! Is he single? Perhaps a nice date for Stephanie? Or one of the other lovely ladies? ;-)

[@christinetrewin9717]

Ah yes those charming Frenchmen of a certain age ! You’ve got to love them, I have met many in the years I’ve lived here. Sadly distanced from them in the confinement.😎🇫🇷❤️

[@denonde1313]

Oh, the Sexy cheese guy is on!! Fantastic recipes. I am not sure I can find these fantastic cheese varieties in Sweden :(

[@sandranaylor2348]

So glad Guillem came to cook at the chateau

[@lucyyoung9406]

Selmar looks very handsome with his hair tied back.

[@barbarastevens3053]

Love the new hair colour Stephanie makes you look much younger.

[@elizabethgeyer-green9910]

Goat man is a lovely addition to Sunday’s vlogs.

[@zepingyu9]

It's so refreshing and pleasant to see french guests in your program. The French chef is brilliant, hope to see him more often!!

[@robreluctantblogger]

We went to his restaurant after your last Vlog there and it was AMAZING! So simple, but delicious.

Unfortunately he’s very busy with the farm 😥

[@eileeng2492]

I notice people come at first somewhat reserved but then the magic of Stephanie and balance take over and they relax and have fun!!

[@francesaggarwal22]

I love the way people at Lalande gathered when delicious food and a handsome man appeared. 😘

[@bridgetcooper6331]

I like this guy, glad he is doing as he promised....to come and show recipes with goat cheese. Love your hair Stephanie! It looks so good and fits your skin tone much better.

[@swirlgalaxy]

Howdy Stephanie & crew!! First off, thank God that Lady Isabelle was able to get out of France before the new lockdown! It's so good to know that she will be reunited with Sir Percy again! Much love to all the La Landers! Stephanie, you are such a true lady of the world. You draw the best of humankind to you & your quest for elegance at La Lande. I always so enjoy each & every new adventure that you embark upon! Your magical spirit will take you so far!!

I would venture to say that I saw sparks flying when Stephanie went to the goat farm and he is smitten with Stephanie. I agree that they would be an absolutely amazing duo.

[@gutshot4570]

Hahahaha! The way Selmar's eyes genuinely lit up at the first bite was awesome.

[@cate4338]

Thank you so much for introducing 'Escape to Rural France' ... love watching all the straight-forward productivity and guidance - which Selmar and Dan obviously deliver here too ... and can't wait to hear that Isabelle and Percy have had a beautiful Winter in the sun, and that they'll be returning in the Spring...

Merci Guillem for these amazing comfort goat cheese recipes!!! Nice to see Dana at the Chateau too.

[@katehobbs2008]

And he cooks ! 🇦🇺

[@k.j.2481]

What about the Kat game? "I like my cheese, like I like my French men... Rough on the outside and smooth and sweet on the inside.☺

[@josephinedavidson5968]

That recipe was exactly the same as a Yorkshire curd tart that my grandmother taught me to cook ! Many years ago I may add, Betty’s in Harrogate still make and sell it to this day and it is delicious.

[@druidsgardenandkitchen]

I was going to say the same. They are very very similar

[@cathyblackhall3448]

When I was at uni in Sheffield, I loved that tart from our local bakery in Broomhill.Id forgotten all about it TIL now😁

[@Karen.L.771]

yes I thought it was like the curd tart I used to buy in York they are delicious. .

[@consideredwhisper]

I remember eating a ‘burnt’ pastry pie in Paris in 1982. It was utterly delicious and I can still taste it now.

[@ellenfiore3726]

I remember your trip to his farm and he promised he would visit Lalande good man eat up

[@risalangdon9883]

Ohhh, you must have him back again to create more wonderful dishes! I sooo want to try these! looks very yummy!

[@michelerandall123]

When we are all together and watching things happen it makes me feel so happy and comforting to know there are wonderful kind and creative people out there in the world.

I immediately ran to the kitchen and grabbed my goat cheese and puff pastry. No whiskey but oh well.

[@emilyduncan953]

Such wonderful recipes! I love when you have French guests! I get to practice my French comprehension and then your translation let’s me know how well I’ve understood!

[@WillowTreePottery]

My Danish grandmother used to make her potato pie that way. It was always delicious.

[@WillowTreePottery]

@@missbehaving4710 It was a lard and butter pastry, much like a puff pastry, rolled thin , filling was mashed potatoes, goat cheese, butter, and dill, and the technique is much the same, roll, fold , and repeat 3 or 4 times, brush with egg wash and bake for about 30 mins in a hot oven. I will get the recipe from my old book and email it to Chateau La Lande to Nathalie's attention.

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

@@missbehaving4710 I am guessing that you might get a fabulous result with filo pastry.

I’m going to make these tomorrow our lockdown dinner Pity we can’t post photos of how ours turn out Wonder if any goats cheese will do as I’m not in their region ?

[@barbieharris8079]

You expressed it perfectly , for me too

[@charlotteortiz1233]

If you roll raisins in flour first , they won't sink to the bottom. A pie shell isn't really deep but if making a cake or muffins, they will sink to the bottom if not rolled in flour.

[@brendam5356]

Lovely vlog.Love the french pastry chef I could hear the sound of the pastry crunch.The kitchen a hive of energy.The Scottish kilt missing Gerry.Dear Selmar coming in from his work to a meal set aside perfect.Missing mummy Isabelle but is now with her love Percy.Thankyou for outstanding cooking class look forward to more from lovely chef f❤️❤️👏👏

Hello Stephanie, another fantastic episode.The whisking technique is something I observed years ago on holiday in the Caribbean. So lovely to hear french being spoken, it's a language I would love to speak fluently. Wish we could have more Chateau Diaries in French, with English subtitles!!!

Thank you for more fun during these horrible depressing times. Mary Ann Recht, Chicago.

[@sarahyates6055]

Next time you have a bit of left over pastry and you want a quick pudding. Roll out the pastry to a circle. Put a spoonful of either golden syrup or hunny in the middle then fold over like a pasty. Put into a deep dish and add milk, just enough to cover the sides of the pasty. Cook for 20/30 minutes on 200 C. The milk and hunny or syrup run together and makes a yummy sauce.

[@kimmcvitty3580]

My aunt used to make us that with jam. She called it Durban pudding. Very tasty.

[@scpmdt]

Thank you Sarah for the recipe for using left pastry. Love this channel because of the love & kindness that comes through from all who enjoy Stephanie’s vlogs.

I use dried beans to wait down the crust ,so it doesn't rise . Rock salt is a good idea .

[@christina_papou]

All I can say in my head the whole video is “c’est vraiment délicieux!” But of course it’s through a video and not in my tummy lol. Puff pastry and cheese and honey is amazing. We have it a lot every time we visit Greece. My aunt in Rethymno Crete makes her own goat cheese from her goats. The best part is the top of the cheese which is a lot softer and less salty. It’s called the malaka which is also means jerkoff in Greek lol. So so good! Thank you for the video!
