Too often these days we are faced with celebrity cookbook authors who either have never cooked a single recipe from "their" books or a modern mish-mash of traditional cuisines catering to millennials who don't understand how dishes have come together historically. In Geraldene's classic tome "French Country Kitchen" she transports us into her home and surrounding gardens to taste what French people actually eat. French Country Kitchen is so much more than simply a cookbook - it is the Rosetta Stone for those of us who prefer a simple traditional cuisine. Her words transport us to the sun-drenched landscapes of Provence and Ardeche. I close my eyes and I can smell the fresh juniper berries she harvests along the rocky outcrops of the Gorges de l'Ardeche to flavor her wild game dishes. Buy this book - You will thank me later.
