Part memoir. Part travelogue. All fabulous recipes. This was a delight to read and explore!

What! a! joy!!! Bouillabaisse, clafoutis, mjadra, focaccia - woven with stories of where, who, why - it’s incredible. The photography is beautiful (and I’m not referring to the food styling, which is also lovely). I’m captivated by the grace in her writing, and found myself staring at her portrait (in her library) just feeling very much in awe of her life. I’ve read the recipes, and they have the relaxed but confident tone that remind me of my own mother, and grandmother (I’m sure these recipes will turn out as perfectly as theirs too!). I can’t wait to cook all the way through this book.

Delicious recipes! I wish the geographical spread of recipes was a bit less France/Italy/Spain-centric though - there's a noticeable lack of recipes from the Balkans, Greece, Turkey, the Levant, and North Africa.
