Amy may I suggest putting the work table between the stove and refrigerator. It will help the refrigerator to last longer, away from the heat.

Moving the fridge away from the stove also helps to keep the side of the fridge cleaner, in my experience.

It is Mother's Day in Australia today. Not sure if it is in France too, so Happy Mother's Day Amy. Enjoy your week.

Amy, I love the idea of foraging. The quiche looked delicious. 🌺🌼🌸

Had to laugh at your dishes. I have 6 complete sets with additional pieces from my grandmothers.and i still look at dishware!

Loved your casual, sensible, chatty and informative approach to foraging / cooking. I've never left clumps of cheese in my quiches, but, why not do it now? Thank you ! Hope that oven gets working soon...

I love your cooking philosophy. Foraging and eating homegrown or local foods. Its the best way to stay healthy and to know what you are putting into your body. The quiche looked delicious. Your new kitchen looks like it will function well especially when Marc gets you an oven. xx

my neighbour make gnochi with nettles, my other neighbour said if you get stung you just crush some nettles and use the juice oin the sting to take it away. I love a tea of bay leaves and thyme.. love your cooking lesson

The quiche looks fantastic!

Thanks Amy, an enjoyable video as always. I love that room, the stone walls, natural timber and terracotta floor are beautiful and nurturing. The italians make a fabulous vivid green pasta with nettles and also a nettle sauce for normal pasta. 😋

Enjoyed the cooking segment, everything is looking great!

It looks great! Both the kitchen and the quiche. 🙂♥️♥️♥️

Love the cooking episode. Good luck getting the kitchen all sorted out 😍😘

Amy, your cooking lesson was a delight! Love quiche and always looking for a new recipe. Love how the cottage is coming along. It feels warm, and perfect for your sweet family! ❤

Good morning from the Toronto area, Canada. It’s Mother’s Day here today too. Happy Mother’s Day to Amy & all the mothers who follow Amy & Marc.💐⭐️🇨🇦

Love all your local producer you are really lucky to have that and it looks delicious thank you for sharing 😊

My brother used nettles in soup with ham hock, cream and plenty of garlic. Delicious. Just be careful where you get them and avoid pathways used by dog walkers.

It Mother's day in south africa as well I'm laying in bed watching this channel waiting for my breakfast!!!!!!

The camera work in combination with your personality is appealing to watch. You are naturally good at doing cooking narration. Well done!

I grow a lot of our vegetables and have a ton of shallots. I am going to try the bay leaves in them, as I have a bay leaf tree.

Great hint, Amy, on adding the veg to the top instead of incorporating it into the egg mixture. We love quiche and low heat is also another really good hint. Thank you!

never pick from road side or walking pathways as dogs like to piddle and also road side fumes ie diesel is not healthy. Pick a bundle.of Bay leaves and hang in the pantry as it keeps out pantry moths from your flour pasta etc.

Amy, you are going to love your new kitchen, So much room and light. I don't think I would like the netle, but it looks delicious. I am boring, ham or sausage. Have a Happy Mothers day if you celebrate it in France.❤

Interesting video. For years, I was afraid to make quiche, and I have been cooking for over 55 years, not any more. Make it a couple times a month. We don't have nettles in our development, but I love spinach or asparagus in mine. I also like using different cheeses to change it up. I know I would like your recipe. Thank you for showing it to us.

Amy, I know that Marc has said that your other channel (Gardens of...) is superior to this one, but I'm still not sure. I love them equally. Hope Marc doesn't take it personally! 😊

We have lots of nettles. You’ve helped me to feel brave enough to try a few recipes.

I really enjoyed watching your bake your quiche from foraging on your own grounds. I've never tried nettle anything but it truly looked delicious.

I have been cooking quiches all my life and you have taught me something new! thank you!

Love your cooking instructions, Amy. I think you have another career!

Great cooking video, well filmed. You are a natural at these Amy!

✨Well done, Amy ✨Enjoyed all this vlog was about. Looking forward to even more recipes!

We have so many nettles! I’m constantly pulling them up (which is surprisingly satisfying). Also have a huge bay tree. So clearly I have to make this quiche. I love foraging too. Great video ❤

Having fallen on a patch off a bike I avoid nettles but hey if you like it :) sure your guests will love whatever you cook. Coin-Coin is adorable even at a distance. Juliette will be adorable in her baptismal gown :) will you have a new or recycled and upcycled one. Foraging is fine as long as you follow the guidelines as you said as of where you get them and surroundings. Mushrooms get them checked by an official if you aren't sure about them or grow them yourself. Delicious recipe Amy I envy having access to so much organic farming initiatives. Happy Birthday to whomever had one :) all the best wishes :)

Townsend's here on YT have made nettle soup a few times - the recipe is given in the video.

Thanks for this Amy! It’s great to see your kitchen getting ready to use. The quiche cooking part was really interesting. I have been making quiche for decades and thought I knew all there was to know about it … but you gave me some new ideas to try! 😊

You can make Nettle Fertilizer Tea to Feed Plants. There's lots of how-to's on the web

Spinach and fennel is also good combination

Excessive purchasing of crockery / dinner ware seems to be a problem for many chateau owners! LOL

The quiche looks delicious! Another great vlog, thank you.

Amy, This was such a interesting and engaging episode! I love foraging for foods. I live in New England, Connecticut to be specific. There are many " safe " places to forage for greens, mushrooms and some berries. I have also foraged for some garden plants and mosses. I always be aware of my surroundings, not only to make sure I am safe of pollutants and pesticides, but to be sure I am not on protected lands. I enjoy seeing you do artisinal things! Basic stuff, but unusual these days, it feels something like a lost art!! Such wonderful and beautiful things that can make you feel grounded. With happiness, Audri

Loved your blog immensely the run through the language course , plus your quiche recipe was so well explained,cooked and given a thumbs up all on your own. Will try the quiche with spinach though, no nettle in our part of the world.

I've never heard of cooking onions with bay leaves! And I love the crazy size of your bay tree! 😲

Great video Amy xx

I use to be able to pick nettles where we use to live. There are none growing where we are now. Not a lot of foraging around here. There are mushrooms but I wouldn’t forage unless I was with an expert. My daughter in law has made herself sick the last two times she picked wild mushrooms. Ended up in hospital last time extremely ill.

Well, that looks delicious!!!😊

Looks yummy Amy. Xx

You seem to be enjoying making vlogs more 😊

I love foraging too. You should try nettle and fresh goat cheese cakes...

Quiche looks delicious, very interested in what you said about the order of ingredients. I will try this next time I make one. 🥂 jo

A quiche is such a nice meal. You can do so much with the filling. I have never cooked with nettles. I'm not sure I can find them easily here in my area but I may keep a look out for them. The coach house is looking so cozy.

Bonjour Amy, your quiche looked delicious. I have never had a nettle, I do not forage I live in the city, I do however buy local. I would love to have joined you on Lingoda, but I am already brushing up on my Italian, so adding French wouldn't be good for me at this time, but I would love to hear how this goes. Thanks for sharing today. Love from N.Y.

My friend has really bad arthritis in her hands. She uses stinging nettle on her hands ( yes she allows it to sting her). She claims that it draws the blood to her joints and the stinging pain is gone in a few hours and she claims it works beautifully. I have wanted to try it on my bad shoulder, but I got into a bunch of nettle as a child and it was unpleasant to say the least. I did buy nettle tea, which tastes bad (earthy taste) so I mix it with other aromatic herbal teas. I have not noticed an improvement in my pain, but I will keep on trying. the quiche sounds delicious!

I love quiche! I can’t wait to try this one. One of my favorite is chicken & pecan quiche. ❤

I have always brushed about 10-15mls of good dijon on the pastry before assembling the quiche, it protects against a soggy crust.

@@Chroniclesofrosieres I really didn't consider the ingredients either, I was more focused on saving the soggy crust! You're correct that dijon would probably overpowered the nettles and cheese.

Totally agree, with your ethos for foraging, although I wouldn't risk any type of mushrooms! That's a danger zone methinks!! Last month we foraged a giant bag of wild Garlic and made a jar of Pesto which was divine. Wondering if that table your using as a work surface is a wee bitty low? Just thinking of your back? Did you see the worktop they made at La Lande over the top of the old cooker? The kitchen table being way to low?

We stopped making our quiche with a crust.

Hi Annette!

I keep wanting to cook with nettles, but I can't get within 10 feet of them without getting stung. The air turns blue around me and I spend the rest of the whining about it. I've worn long sleeves with a coat and the exact same type gloves and immediately get stung. I have no idea how you do it! Our allotment is a haven for nettles, so I'd really like to figure this out!

Good job!😊
