At My French Table by Jane Webster

At My French Table

Author: Jane Webster

When Jane Webster sells her house in Melbourne and takes her four children out of school to move to a grand but neglected chateau in Normandy, she isn't sure how they will adapt to their new French lives. But soon enough, the family is immersed in the tiny village of Bosgouet, embracing the unhurried pace and seasonal rhythmns of rural France. There is a new language to learn, new friends to make and a whole region - from Paris to Rouen and Deauville - to discover.

Restoring the cheateau to its former glory also gives Jane the opportunity to fulfil her lifelong dream of establishing a cookery school. With an abundance of fresh produce at hand and the advice of local traiteurs and chefs, Jane brings the flavours of Normandy to life at her table.

Filled with exquisite photography, recipes and stories, At my French Table captures the simple pleasures of family life in a beautiful corner of France.
