Paperback. Condizione: Good. In a French Kitchen is a delightful celebration of French life and the cooks who turn even the simplest meals into an occasion. Even before Susan Herrmann Loomis wrote her now-classic memoir, On Rue Tatin, American readers have been compelled by books about the French's ease with cooking. With In a French Kitchen, Loomis--an expat who long ago traded her American grocery store for a bustling French farmer's market--demystifies in lively prose the seemingly effortless je ne sais quoi behind a simple French meal.One by one, readers are invited to meet the busy people of Louviers and surrounding villages and towns of Loomis' adopted home, from runway-chic Edith, who has zero passion for cooking--but a love of food that inspires her to whip up an array of mouthwatering dishes--to Nathalie, who becomes misty-eyed as she talks about her mother's Breton cooking and then goes on to reproduce it. Through friends and neighbors like these, Loomis learns that delicious, even decadent meals don't have to be complicated.Are French cooks better organized when planning and shopping? Do they have a greater ability to improvise with whatever they have on hand when unexpected guests arrive? The answer to both is yes. But they also have an innate understanding of food and cooking, are instinctively knowledgeable about seasonal produce, and understand what combination of simple ingredients will bring out the best of their gardens or local markets.Thankfully for American readers, In a French Kitchen shares the everyday French tips, secrets, and eighty-five recipes that allow them to turn every meal into a sumptuous occasion.…

Does the money belong to the man who claims it, or to his befuddled father-in-law? The case of the missing coins allows Ann Wroe to investigate in detail, and through particular people, what life was like in a fourteenth-century community that was physically partitioned (as so many are today) between rival political factions.

Hardback. Condizione: Good. At the age of 45 Miles Morland resigned from his highly paid job as head of the UK division of a major American bank and went for a walk with his wife in France. Neither of them was used to walking further than the distance between a restaurant and a waiting taxi. They walked from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic, 350 miles through the foothills of the Pyrenees, staying in small country inns and occasionally sleeping out along the way. The author describes the pleasures and agonies of the walk and reflects frequently and with relief on the life from which he has escaped. The pressures of his former life had affected him in many ways, the repercussions including divorce and then remarriage to his former wife Guislaine.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. This collection of fifty-three personal essays by David Bouchier isn't quite a travel book or a memoir. With many of these essays originally broadcast on National Public Radio stations in New York and Connecticut, Not Quite a Stranger provides a lively portrait of France and the French through the unique voice of a beloved commentator. With this book, you'll love reliving Bouchier's romantic attempt to establish himself as a Bohemian intellectual in Paris and look at the City of Lights with a fresh perspective. You'll also enjoy exploring French village life alongside Bouchier and his wife, Diane, examining the countryside, history, art, social habits, and local politics. And then there are the penetrating questions: For instance, why are dangerous bulls encouraged to run through the village once a year? Each chapter features a delightful short essay covering a wide array of topics. Sometimes thoughtful and sometimes humorous, they're always entertaining and enlightening, each capturing life in France from a different angle. Drawing from Bouchier's background in sociology and education and expressed through a wonderfully engaging style, these essays reveal a deep love and affection for all things French and celebrate a lifestyle that's a virtual mirror image of the American way.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. In July 2005, over twenty million spectators flocked to France to see if anyone could beat Lance Armstrong in the Tour de France. Among them were hundreds of thousands of Americans - men of a certain age and financial status, mostly - who see the Tour as the ultimate buddy getaway, a jaunt replete with fine wines, delicious meals and lazy mornings under the Provencal sun. There were also huge clumps of Germans, Spaniards, Italians, Dutch - basically every country in Europe, a mini-UN that packed the fields and small towns along the way, showing how one can be drunk in 13 different languages.
