In 1956, Jehane Benoit and her husband, Bernard, moved to a Quebec farm, Noirmouton, where she continued her cooking career and he raised sheep -- an experience that, no doubt, contributed to her love of cooking lamb. In addition to continuing with all her other activities, Madame Benoit operated a shop where fresh lamb, homemade tourtières, pork and beans, cookies and muffins were sold.
