Inspired by the lovely French
House Chic I got an earlier book of hers out from the library – French Ties. This book is more about
the way that she has organised her chateau to work for family and guests. There are also recipes for traditional foods
from Normandy.
The same photographer was involved so the book is
lovely to look at. But I also found the
contents interesting. One small thing
that irked a bit was that everything seemed to have happened pretty seamlessly
and perfectly – that doesn't seem likely.
So maybe there is a bit of poetic license going on. But I still loved the book.
Recipes I have marked as needing a try include –
Chicken and Chive Finger Sandwiches, Salmon with Beurre Blanc Sauce and Potato
Salad Normande.
I do like the sound of the potato salad.
ReplyDeleteI think I would love that book! Right now I am on an island in France.....bookwise, that is.
