Recipes, Techniques, and Stories from Our French Cooking School
by Majorie Taylor and Kendall Smith Franchini
Mother and daughter American expats Marjorie Taylor and Kendall Smith Franchini always dreamed of living in France. With a lot of hard work and a sprinkling of fate, they realized this dream and founded The Cook's Atelier, a French cooking school in the heart of Burgundy. Combining their professional backgrounds in food and wine, they created a convivial international culinary destination. Their debut cookbook chronicles their life in a charming French village and their relationships with the region's artisan food producers and winemakers. Featuring more than 100 market-inspired recipes, the book - like their school - teaches classic French techniques in a beautiful, approachable way. The Cook's Atelier is a richly illustrated presentation of a family's delicious world, and a practical primer for adopting elements of the French lifestyle at home, no matter where you live.
