Entertaining in the French style / Eileen W. Johnson

In the medieval town of Saignon: breakfast in bed -- In L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue: couscous dinner -- In the antiques capital of France: garden lunch -- In the countryside near Provence : three-course dinner -- In the village of Maillane: romantic French breakfast -- In the heart of Burgundy: cooking with flowers -- In la Perche: dinner and Calvados -- In a Paris apartment: quintessentially city dining.

Lovers of all things French will delight in these stories and recipes deriving from both the French city and countryside from Paris to Provence to Saignon, a tiny medieval town in the Luberon Mountains. Beautiful photography illustrates the pleasure of a well-laid table, whether an intimate breakfast or a dinner party with friends. Entertaining in the French Style gives readers a glimpse into the everyday lives of French artists, farmers, chefs, and cheesemakers, of regular French couples and families, and the central roles of both food and setting in capturing the nuanced romantic notion of entertaining with French influence.
