Spring is finally here! Before La Niña soaks us all for a third year in a row, Monnet Cognac has shared 3 Spring recipes to make the most of the sunshine and warm weather, while it lasts. 

Monnet, which launched in Australia in July, is one of the most historical signatures of the Cognac region, and since its founding in 1838, has become known around the world for its ‘art de vivre’ (bringing people together through the art of living).
