Our Good friend Roland Manouvrier, and featured "subject" of our book Tales From The Table: Dordogne Stories (to be published by Perseus Books) has won a coveted prize---The Trophe Dominque Lavigne.

The prize Dominique Lavigne, created in 2006, was awarded November 2008, and rewards a producer from the Perigord based on the quality of the products but also the passion to share these products with the public and professionals. Roland produces high quality ice creams and sorbets using unusual flavors (goat cheese ice cream anyone) as well as ingredients he produces himself, such as honey from his own bee hives. He does not sell his ice cream to the public, but rather in high end restaurants. It's worth a taste, I can tell you that.

This prize is presented by the Press Club of the Périgord and journalists make the final decision.

Bravo Roland!!
