Amid the quirks and charms of the French countryside, Georgeanne Brennan began her life in Provence with the not-so-simple task of tracking down a herd of goats and the lost recipe for making cheese from their milk. From odd out-of-towner to truffle hunter and community feaster, from novice
fromagere to celebrated chef and cookbook author, she learned the traditional ways of one small village-- savoring the richness of food, nature and
la vie provencale.
