Featuring stunning photography, a traditional approach to traditional French cuisine, and an inspiring story of starting over, French Kitchen Lessons offers a captivating glimpse into the bountiful and picturesque French countryside. In 2010, Cat Bude and her husband left their careers in the Pacific Northwest, uprooted their family and belongings, and relocated to Normandy, France. In search of a sense of home and community, their journey led them to a charming yet dilapidated farmhouse, which they have since restored and affectionately named Rabbit Hill Farm. This homestead has become the heart of Cat's world and a means to share the joys of country living with others through guided market tours, lavender harvest celebrations, and cooking classes. French Kitchen Lessons follows the rhythms of the seasons, starting with French culinary staples such as sauces and stocks, and then guiding readers through creating simple, satisfying, and refined dishes like Pernod-steamed mussels, a summer vegetable tian, a wild mushroom omelet
