Qui est Madame Lacour?

Madame et Monsieur Lacour

I am at a loss for words, when asked who I am. Who is Madame Lacour? For now, i will share the much that I can and hopefully, you will join me every week on this food journey that I have undertaken.

I love cooking as much as i like eating out! So does my husband, Monsieur Lacour, and I married him, mostly because of his cooking skills.(I may be in trouble for this) Its safe to say, that both of us, cannot be in the kitchen at the same time, for that is how fights at the Lacour house hold begin. One of us is always tempted to add something into the others pot! However, on a rare chance, we invite each other during meal preparations, we get to learn a lot about food and wine and Porto and whisky.... basically, if it can be consumed.... i hope you get the gist. Tongue and tummy tales will invite you into our kitchen and share with you how to make simple and affordable meals. We cannot guarantee that they will be healthy always (I choose to live a little) but we can guarantee you will salivate, even when its just a salad. Occasionally, i will do a restaurant review, when we eat out and hopefully your eyes will join me!

On a more personal note, I am a proud East African, my folks are from Kenya and Tanzania, while Monsieur Lacour is from France and we met in Japan!! Therefore a week in our house, feels like the United Nations of cuisines! I hope we can bring this variety into the blog, and encourage you to make the meals by yourself.

I am not a chef by profession and never have been to culinary school, I do this purely for the love of food.
