Synopsis

French Kitchen Lessons is a celebration of food, farm life, and the seasons—not only the seasons of the year, but the seasons of life: starting over, finding a place, trying new things, and gathering.  In 2010, Cat Bude and her husband left their jobs in Seattle, packed up their house and their kids, and moved to Normandy, France. After much looking, they found a run-down, rambling farmhouse, overrun with wild rabbits, and Rabbit Hill Farm was born. As Cat and her family settled into life on the farm, an urge to share the joys of country life led Cat to start her blog, Rabbit Hill Lifestyle, and eventually she began hosting vintage shopping tours, guided market trips, lavender harvest parties, and cooking classes for readers of her blog traveling to Rabbit Hill. French Kitchen Lessons begins with classic French staples like pastry doughs, mother sauces, and stocks, then teaches you how to transform them into dishes to share at your table every season. Recipes range from traditional like Croques Monsieur and Bœuf Bourgignon, to those with modern twists like a savory Paris-brest and Lemon Poppy Seed Crêpes, and are all inspired by the French market-to-table tradition.
