A Kitchen in France

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
