Chrissy, what a lovely surprise! Such a thoughtful, creative birthday gift! An absolutely amazing French cookbook - I‘ve been flipping through, and I can‘t wait to make everything!! And you tied in the theme with French placemats and towels, and the cutest apron! I love it all! Thank you!

PS I will definitely be posting photos of the cookbook pages - it is fabulous!

Glorious French Food: A Fresh Approach to the Classics | James Peterson

#FoodandLit France 🇫🇷

I made tartiflette, a cheesy potato casserole. It was luxurious with all the cheese and bacon. It would make a perfect side dish for Thanksgiving!

Dilara The restaurant came highly recommended, but when I first looked at the menu, I was disappointed because I thought it was rather unimaginative. In the end, it didn't matter because the food was very fresh and well-executed. Simple and tasty! 3y

Catsandbooks Sounds great! 3y

Texreader Thanks for translating! I‘d love to try it! 3y

CarolynM How wonderful! Which parts of France will you visit? 6y

Lcsmcat Do get out of Paris if you can. It‘s a wonderful city, but there‘s so much more to France. I loved Nantes and Nice when I was there a dinosaur‘s life ago. 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Lcsmcat We have a friend with a place in a tiny village in the South near Marseille. We‘re taking the train down and spending a couple of days. 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Lynnsoprano It‘s our first time to France. I‘m sure I‘ll have a zillion pictures! 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Qpri Aren‘t they? And the art inside is also fantastic! 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @JLaurenceCohen No—it‘s our first trip. We can‘t wait! 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @CarolynM We‘ll be in Paris for a week and then a little village in the South for a few days. 6y

CarolynM That sounds perfect. I'm sure you'll love it all🙂 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @CarolynM I think and hope so! 6y

Blaire How wonderful! I spent a semester in aix-en-Provence and it was so beautiful. Enjoy your trip! 6y

LeahBergen Wonderful!! 😍😍 6y

Cinfhen Sweet!!! How exciting 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Blaire @LeahBergen @Cinfhen Yes, we are SO excited! 6y

I Know How to Cook | Ginette Mathiot

I'm always the one who gets stuck making our #dinnerfortwo - probably because my SO's culinary skills only extend as far as switching on the oven!
This is the holy grail of cook books as far as I'm concerned. It's a mammoth book and the only one you'll ever need on your bookshelf.
#aprella @Cinfhen @emilyhaldi @Reviewsbylola @Mdargusch

LeahBergen I love the cover! 7y

Mdargusch Good to know about. I usually just get my recipes from Pinterest now but sounds like a good one. 7y

mabell How cool! Is it similar to Joy of Cooking? 7y

Reviewsbylola I love that cover!!!!! 7y

emilyhaldi Wow it‘s beautiful and has good recipes?! Only cookbook I‘ll ever need?! SOLD!!! 7y

Cinfhen I love finding new cookbooks and this one sounds 🙌🏻💕will definitely check it out 7y

PagesOfKate I've never read joy of cooking @mabell but I had a quick look at the blurb on here. Joy of Cooking seems quite different in terms of the inspiration behind the recipes but similar in scope. Seems a good read- I'll have to take a look. 7y

Food and Wine of France: Eating and Drinking from Champagne to Provence | Edward Behr

I'm supposed to go to a Wine & Cheese event tonight but ...but...can I stay here?
I want to see certain people but it's cold and I have to put in "real people clothes."
Beatrix says screw the cold, curl up! #catsoflitsy

GondorGirl I'm with Beatrix. 7y

Jabberwocky Ugh same boat! It's -12 today and I'm working an 8h shift and then we have a concert tonight but... bed 7y

Andrea4 @GondorGirl @Jaberwocky thanks guys- did go out and got bombarded at the end by an old prof asking if I was pregnant/when I will be/should he talk to my hubby about/shouldn't wait too long & told me at the same time to go back to my PhD and just get it over with real quick. I'm not sure if he saw those things happening at the same time? @llwheeler 7y
