writer, cook, mentor, and Modern Elder based in sW France, savoring the seasons and wisdom of Gascon tradition.
Intro
Thirty-eight years ago, Kate Hill sailed into Gascony and never wanted to leave. Now at 74, she writes from deep within this sun-warmed, storied corner of Southwest France, its kitchens and characters, its forgotten villages and enduring rituals. Hers is a voice shaped by seasons, by friendship, the food she cooks, by the kind of belonging that only time can give. Published in Saveur and beyond, and writing weekly in The Camont Journals on Substack, Kate's stories and dispatches are a gentle door into a world worth knowing.
