A House In The Sunflowers (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
My number was engaged and while I waited talking to Claudette I was about to lean on the table behind me when I was stopped by a great shout and throwing up of hands. Looking round I realised that what I had taken to be a white tablecloth was in fact a covering of the thinnest of pastry pulled out and left to dry. I had almost caused a major disaster. ‘C’est pour la tourtière,’ laughed Claudette, the danger averted. We had seen these splendid almost sculptured apple pies in the pâtisserie and at the farmers’ markets but a price of between six and seven pounds each had stopped us actually trying one. ‘Venez voir,’ she said. In the kitchen was another equally long table already covered with a floured cloth. As though making a television programme she took a lump of soft dough from a box in the refrigerator and said, ‘I shall start this one while I’m waiting for the other one to dry.’ Sprinkling a little more flour on the cloth she then lifted the supple dough.
