Le garde-manger Auckland

The garde-manger ("pantry" literally keep or guard food storeroom) is one of my childhood memories It was the cave of Ali Baba when I was playing with my cousins and by myself, with the excuse of playing hide and seek, and who of us could find the candy. We sat suspended in the middle of the storeroom, just above the bottles of wine older than my grandfather guarded and treasured over the years.

Fruits, vegetables, sausages, cheeses, eggs, wheat ... everything that you could imagine was in the "garde-manger" storeroom!

We the little ones sneakily took food left and right and we always discovered new yummy flavours.
