ReviewsAdvance praise forOn Rue Tatin: "Where many American writers merely love France, Susan Loomis knows it: its smells and people and manners. Her cookbooks have always been especially well-written, and, inOn Rue Tatin, her first book where there is more writing than cooking, she shows that she is as natural a writer as she is a chef." -Adam Gopnik, author ofParis to the Moon "Susan Loomis's homey French kitchen is one of my favorite places in the whole wide world. If you love food, love France, and dream about living there, you must readOn Rue Tatin." -Barbara Tropp, author ofChina Moon "When Susan Loomis went to France 20 years ago she was impressed, just as I was, with the beauty and aliveness of French food. What a pleasure to be seduced with her delightful stories and taken into a kitchen filled with the irresistible tastes and aromas of Normandy." -Alice Waters, author ofChez Panisse Café Cookbook "Susan's charming tale of living and working in France is just like her recipes: delicious, sometimes surprising, and always satisfying." -Johanne Killeen and George Germon, authors ofCucina Simpatica: Robust Trattoria Cooking "In this, her most personal book, Susan Loomis shares with us her rich family life, a world of amazing French friendships, and proves, most of all, that each and every dream CAN come true!" -Patricia Wells, author ofPatricia Wells at Home in Provence "Susan Loomis has written a radiant love letter to France-particularly Normandy-its countryside, food, markets, and people. Buy it and settle down for good reading and an occasional sortie into the kitchen." -Barbara Kafka, author ofSoup: A Way of Life

SynopsisSusan Loomis arrived in Paris twenty years ago with little more than a student loan and the contents of a suitcase to sustain her. But what began then as an apprenticeship at La Varenne École de Cuisine evolved into a lifelong immersion in French cuisine and culture, culminating in permanent residency in 1994. On Rue Tatin chronicles her journey to an ancient little street in Louviers, one of Normandy's most picturesque towns. With lyrical prose and wry candor, Loomis recalls the miraculous restoration that she and her husband performed on the dilapidated convent they chose for their new residence. As its ochre and azure floor tiles emerged, challenges outside the dwelling mounted. From squatters to a surly priest next door, along with a close-knit community wary of outsiders, Loomis tackled the social challenges head-on, through persistent dialogueand baking. On Rue Tatin includes delicious recipes that evoke the essence of this region, such as Apple and Thyme Tart, Duck Breast with Cider, and Braised Chicken in White Wine and Mustard. Transporting readers to a world where tradition is cherished, On Rue Tatin provides a touching glimpse of the camaraderie, exquisite food, and simple pleasures of daily life in a truly glorious corner of Normandy.

Enjoyable read
Enjoyed the journey with Susan and her family as they established themselves in a culture that turned out to be more different from ours than I had imagined. Enjoyed the people she met along the way...her ups and downs...and the romance of life in France.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
