Bisous and Brioche: Classic French Recipes and Family Favorites from a Life in France (Laura Bradbury, Rebecca Wellman)

For years readers of Laura Bradbury's bestselling Grape Series memoirs have been clamoring for the secrets behind all the mouthwatering meals described in the stories about her life in Beaune, Burgundy. Together with her friend, photographer and cookbook author Rebecca Wellman, Laura shares recipes that have been handed down through her husband Franck's family or passed on by French friends and neighbors, and that now feature regularly on the menu at her house.

Bisous & Brioche features classics like vinaigrettes, madeleines, crêpes, crème fraîche, tarts, cassoulet, coq au vin--dishes whose names alone will warm the heart of any Francophile. The traditional and the newly developed recipes are served up with anecdotes about their arrival in Laura's life and are accompanied by Rebecca's sun-soaked photos of classic and nouveau French dishes, plus the gorgeous Burgundy countryside.
