A Kitchen in France: A Year of Cooking in My Farmhouse, Hardcover/Mimi Thorisson

With beguiling recipes and sumptuous photography, A Kitchen in France transports readers to the French countryside and marks the debut of a captivating new voice in cooking. "This is real food: delicious, honest recipes that celebrate the beauty of picking what is ripe and in season, and capture the essence of life in rural France." Alice Waters When Mimi Thorisson and her family moved from Paris to a small town in out-of-the-way Medoc, she did not quite know what was in store for them. She found wonderful ingredients from local farmers and the neighboring woods and, most important, time to cook. Her cookbook chronicles the family s seasonal meals and life in an old farmhouse, all photographed by her husband, Oddur. Mimi s convivial recipes such as Roast Chicken with Herbs and Creme Fraiche, Cepe and Parsley Tartlets, Winter Vegetable Cocotte, Apple Tart with Orange Flower Water, and Salted Butter Creme Caramel will bring the warmth of rural France into your home."
