Annabel Langbein, the famed Kiwi cook behind many iconic recipes, is on her own adventure in France.

She and her husband Ted have bought a farmhouse in the south of France, and are currently staying there while they renovate their home.

She says it was a 'stressful' journey trying to secure a place in France, but it was worth it.

"All of France is foodie, but what I really love about this particular area is that the markets are just incredible - and pretty much most of the growers are all organic and the quality of the food is just so good."
