Yorkshire Appetite in France

Aim

To publish a book detailing Yorkshire Appetite's journey through the food experiences of France by sisters, Kay and Jill, Food Ambassadors.

Discovering France

Food Tours are like a culinary and cultural experience discovering destinations through their culinary traditions and we have been taking our visitors on these adventures in Harrogate and York since 2017.  

Our ‘On Tour’ will be  a journey through the food experiences offered by la belle France by sisters (and Yorkshire Appetite Guides), Kay Atkinson and Jill Laurillard.  They know the traditional Yorkshire dishes very well but as for the French versions – they aim to find out what these are, who makes them and where the best ones are.  They will be exploring the food experiences all around France to show you how you too can focus on food on your travels.

Food Tours and Food Tourism in general has been growing rapidly over the last ten years and despite an enforced year off, it is set to go from strength to strength. Our findings will culminate in a book which will be a perfect companion for your French holidays to get the most out of the country and its cuisine.

Come along with us on our journey – we will be updating you as we discover the regions of France. It's also a chance to spend time with family in memory of our parents, with whom we spent many happy holidays in France as children.
