From famed chef Alice Waters, a treat for anyone who loves France,
food, adventure--or all three!
Fanny is a girl who knows a lot about food and cooking since she's grown
up in and around the famous restaurant Chez Panisse in Berkeley,
California. When Fanny's mother, Alice Waters, the chef and owner of
Chez Panisse, starts to watch her favorite old French movies, Fanny
knows soon they'll be packing their bags and traveling to France for a
visit. In this sparkling book of whimsical stories, Fanny recounts some
of her most fun-filled adventures with French friends and food. Join
Fanny as she helps cook a huge bouillabaisse in Provence; learns how
to make fresh cheese from a shepherd high up in the Pyrenees mountains;
hunts for wild oysters off the coast of Bordeaux, and discovers how one
chicken can feed nine people, if served a certain way.
Fanny in France is also a beginner's cookbook with forty simple,
French-inspired recipes that encourage children and adults anywhere to
cook and share delicious snacks and meals with family and friends using
basic methods and the most sustainable ingredients.
