It would be good for Marie to make some connections outside of the chateau. I seem to recall her previous departure had something to do with not being able to meet anyone. I suspect it can be a bit isolated. Mixing with local folks is beneficial in all sorts of ways. Brush up on your French, Marie! 😊

Stephanie a tip for baking: When you take your cakes or breads out of oven after 10-15 minutes cooling, take the pan and tip it on its side and leave it on an angle to finish cooling. Rotate sides every 5 mins, and use things to prop on side so it doesn't fall over or on the floor. Then, when you go to take out of the pan, it will come out with ease.

This video is a gem! Marie: Your dinner was exquisite!

Stephanie, I always used a skewer or a chop stick for my marble cakes. Just stick it in and swirl, it works brilliantly, gives lovely swirls. Your cake looks marvelous xxx Doreen

It's easier to marble the cake if you put about the size of a baseball of one color then the other next to it, and keep repeating that. Use a knife to pull one color into another. Then if you have more mix make a second layer on top and pull the colors into each other on that layer

The mirror looks amazing there 👌

Love the relationship you have with Marie, who by the way is excelling as head chef. Please send Philip down to the market to ‘check out’ that male stall holder, I would love to see Marie paired up!! 😻

Absolutely lovely to see all the other chateaux owners again - and all dining round a beautiful table. Also, those are beautiful beds featured today. Phillip and Amaury work so hard - still shifting furniture🙃. Do they move furniture so often because you are short of it, or do they just enjoy it?🥰 One asset of all this movement is that it refreshes the energy of the chateaux each time you do it - keeps it alive - yaaay! And I love watching Phillip's artistry and pleasure in putting a fresh room together. They always look so lovely.

Once again, there are so many wonderful talents from everyone involved. Everything looks beautiful and the food scrumptious. Glad your company came to enjoy the hospitality at LaLande. I'm sure the word will be spread.

Oh what fun yo have you all together I remember when all these owners were just your guests now look at all the fun !!!!!!!😮❤ lot of love to all

Phillip i would have thought you would have dressed up like you normally do. 😮 ❤

Hello lovelies 😊What a delightful coincidence that you guys are starting “The New Look” while giving Lalande “The Sorta New Look” at the same time! It is serendipitous to be sure. ( I DO wish, however, that there were more scenes showing the FABULOUS fashion of the 50’s in the tv version!) And… you must rest assured to know that it is human nature to have a gazillion & 7 things to do at the very last minute before any Big Event. Even if you had started preparing for Opening Day 4 months ago, there would STILL be the same gazillion & 3 things that would need doing at the last moment. Hang in there, good luck& carry on, knowing you are loved by us all and we are helping you as best we can from around the World by sending you our love! Hugs from the Northern California Coast.🌼🌸🌺🐾

Kudos to Marie's cooking and presentations of the different courses!!! Excellent to the eyes!🤩

Philip is quite the interior decorator. The bedroom looks lovely

Hi Stephanie and all La Landers, greetings from Perth Western Australia. A knife is much better at going through the cake mixture in order to decoratively distribute the vanilla and chocolate mixture. Luuv all the decorating vids, tx very much for your time and effort. Very best wishes. Cheers

What a LOVELY, lovely episode! Sooo wonderful to see all the other chateaux owners, too. Amaury never ceases to amaze & impress me - he’s GOLD!

Thermomix looks like a fantastic bit of kit is you’re an ardent baker/cook. Nothing like visitors to cause a bit of a sort out of the jobs you’ve been thinking about. Always remember my dad used to put Quail eggs in my mum’s packed lunch, very posh😊 The new arrangement of the Music Room looks superb.

OMG! That was fun. I can't wait to see how Bonne Maman turned out. Philip couldn't possibly have dressed the windows too. Wonderful to see Amaury busy at work. If only he had something to keep him occupied at Lalande. Unfortunately, we'll probably never get a glimpse of their love nest. He such a talented artist, but very modest about his many gifts. I'd love to see Nattie's personal style, but I suspect that will not happen either. I guess I can't blame them for not wanting their personal lives, away from the Château, exposed to the world. The flowers from Stewart and Patrick are so pretty. They're such thoughtful guests. I love their vlog too. I really think we'd get along quite well. There were several familiar faces around the dinner table. It's nice to see everyone back at Lalande again. What a beautifully laid table it was too. I can't get over how much more I love the new green chairs. Marie, the meal looked and sounded scrumptious. I'm really curious to try the fried Jerusalem artichokes. I'll have to go back and see if you mentioned how they were seasoned. I'm so glad Vivienne and Simon were able to join for most of the repast. Yet another Châtelaine whose vlog I love. It's so much fun to see what little lovelies she come up with for her online shop. I hope everyone enjoyed the Château swap. What a delightful assembly. ❤ from TX!

I don't blame Nattie and Amaury for wanting their privacy. People can be really awful, and narcissists abound on social media. Brooke Shields said recently that she just stopped reading comments on social media. Brooke has been famous since she was a small child and still hasn't built up enough calluses to process the evil comments. For me personally, Amaury is one of so many interesting people that have passed through Lalande. Occasionally, like tonight, they come back. In the case of Amaury, he's still working at Lalande, but there are always ongoing secret projects that we don't see until it appears on British Television. So he's on a time lapse and there's no witty banter. Because Amaury can be quite sassy. I miss the 'Care Bear' moments. That scene was one of my all time favorite CD moments, Amaury explaining his Care Bear sweat stain. Who would not want to see more of that guy? I loved his camaraderie with Daniel Preston. Those two almost matched the magic of Dan and Stephanie. I can't say I'm surprised by Dan's KZread success. He does have his own power of attraction. I don't begrudge them their privacy because they really help Stephanie out enormously with Lalande, freeing her up to entertain and enlighten me and many tens of thousands of others. I just find him delightful, foul mouth and all.

Next time what you need to do is turn the fork all around in a circular manner the cake making sure you go right to the bottom into the white part and that should the trick you do it from the top to the bottom. Just a trick as I often do a German version of the cake. My family love it. I drizzle a chocolate icing on top.
