A master class in fresh, delicious, French-inspired cooking

Since 1995, students have waited months and sometimes years for the
privilege of learning to cook with Patricia Wells at Chanteduc, her
eighteenth-century Provençal farmhouse, and at her Parisian cooking
studio. Now, the culinary legend invites home cooks into her life in
France, making the recipes from her popular classes available to fans
who dream of embarking on their own gastronomic adventure in the world's
culinary capital.

Beautifully designed and lavishly illustrated with stunning color photographs, The French Kitchen Cookbook
offers simple yet profound pleasures to Patricia's students: the
satisfaction of preparing a perfect fruit tart; the gratification of
extracting a warm, fragrant, golden brioche from the oven; the giddiness
of sharing a meal with a group of former strangers who quickly become
lifelong friends.

Patricia's meticulously written recipes explain the basics—rules that
will help anyone become a better cook—while providing the deep
satisfaction that comes from creating exquisite food that extracts the
best of fresh ingredients. Here are some of her best recipes for
appetizers, desserts, and everything in between, dishes inspired by the
vibrant Provençal countryside and the bustle of Parisian life, including
Miniature Onion and Goat Cheese Tatins, Zucchini and Basil
Velouté, Fricassée of Chicken with Fennel, Capers, Tomatoes and Sausage,
and Apricot and Lavender Honey Sorbet.

"The French Kitchen Cookbook is about a way of life and a
lifestyle of food and entertaining," Patricia writes. "It is all about
the joys of combining good food, good wine, and friends altogether
around the table—an experience we can enjoy day in and day out, any
time."
