About this product

Product Information

"Francophiles, this book is pure Gallic food porn." -The Wall Street Journal Readers everywhere fell in love with Mimi Thorisson, her family, and their band of smooth fox terriers through her blog, Manger, and debut cookbook, A Kitchen in France . In French Country Cooking , the family moves to an abandoned old ch teau in Medoc. While shopping for local ingredients, cooking, and renovating the house, Mimi meets the farmers and artisans who populate the village and learns about the former owner of the house, an accomplished local cook. Here are recipes inspired by this eccentric cast of characters, including White Asparagus Souffle, Wine Harvest Pot au Feu, Endives with Ham, and Salted Butter Chocolate Cake. Featuring evocative photographs taken by Mimi's husband, Oddur Thorisson, and illustrated endpapers, this cookbook is a charming jaunt to an untouched corner of France that has thus far eluded the spotlight.

"Like the best French cooking, Mrs. Thorisson's recipes manage to be rich and light at the same time." --The New York Times "Amid Mrs. Thorisson's recipes are stories of the home's past, as told to her by previous owners and village old-timers. Readers will learn tales of multiple generations of cooks together in the French country kitchen." -- The Wall Street Journal "Food blogger Mimi Thorisson's life in Médoc is basically a real-life fairytale. If you're tempted to buy a one-way ticket to the south of France after reading her sophomore cookbook, which features 100 delicious recipes peppered with details about how she transformed an old chateau into a homey restaurant, we wouldn't blame you." -- InStyle "Francophiles and armchair travelers who loved Dorie Greenspan's Around My French Table and David Lebovitz's My Paris Kitchen will gladly add this classic title to their collections." -- Library Journal , starred review "If you're the sort of person whose idea of fun is watching Chocolat for the hundredth time and fantasizing about renting Julia Child's Provençal farmhouse to cook madelines and cassoulet for your family, then Mimi Thorisson's cookbook, French Country Cooking , is perfect for you. This is the cookbook as daydream, with terribly pretty pictures of women fluttering tablecloths in rustic kitchens, of little girls lugging baskets of produce, of baguettes and Citroëns and vineyards and pans of broiled oysters." -- Los Angeles Times "Blogger and author Mimi Thorisson has a new cookbook out that will kindle a delicious love affair with the cuisine of the French countryside. Starring the best-quality ingredients sourced from small outdoor markets, family-owned purveyors and home gardens, this collection of recipes elevates a simple, humble cuisine to the highest level." -- FoodRepublic.com, "Like the best French cooking, Mrs. Thorisson's recipes manage to be rich and light at the same time." --The New York Times "Amid Mrs. Thorisson's recipes are stories of the home's past, as told to her by previous owners and village old-timers.

    Beautiful book, in perfect condition. The text is warm and inviting and I felt transported back to France while I was reading the introduction. Definitely a great reference, with lovely photos taken by the author's husband. Two thumbs up!

  • Beautifully written and illustrated cookbook

    I collect cookbooks and when I find one like this, I'm in cookbook heaven. I love when a cookbook shares one's life experiences and tells a story with each recipe including beautiful pictures like this one does. I tend to read cookbooks like regular books, so in this case I am extremely pleased with this book. I may take a trip there to experience her food and quaint village. The recipes look rustically elegant and relatively easy to make. I'm going to enjoy enjoy trying these recipes! I give this book my highest recommendation.
