More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
In 2005 Jane Webster sold her house in Melbourne and took her four children out of school and moved to a rather run-down chateau in France. She had been running her business The French Table, which specialises in foodie tours around Paris, for nearly 10 years, but she was looking for a more permanent base to set up a cookery school. Finally she and her family came across a chateau in Normandy which was to become home.
With a photographer following Jane for much of the time, we discover this lush and gorgeous corner of France with her. From regional markets and vignerons to antique fairs and three-Michelin star restaurants, Jane lets us into all aspects of her life in France. Most importantly, we see the chateau restored to its former glory, meet the local characters and discover the produce of Normandy at Jane's table - with 40 regional recipes.

Living in France myself, I was looking forward to a frank and interesting story of an experiment of a new business that sounds in principal, great. What I got was a tepid, vaccuous tale - with a few recipes thrown in - that sounded like it was written by the Normandy tourist board!
Four children into the village school, sans probleme - I don't think so!
If you want a disney-esque view of life in France this is fine, don't buy it if you are really considering living there or starting a similar business.
Either the authoress was smoking the carpet or she had more money than sense.

One of the most thoughtfully designed and beautifully produced books I have ever possessed. If you do not share Jane Webster's enthusiasm for Normandy and all things Norman at present you will do after reading this courageous account of an Australian family's venture into the world of Normandy chateaux, Normandy cuisine, Normandy markets and the whole expanse of Normandy life. Absolutely wonderful.

This Book is a delight, beautiful photos and recipes, even if you don't cook its worth it on its own for the tour in France
