Mastering the Art of French Eating: Lessons in Food and Love

Mastering the Art of French Eating: Lessons in Food and Love from a Year in Paris

The memoir of a young diplomatâ‚¬s wife who must reinvent her dream of living in Parisâ‚¬"one dish at a time

When journalist Ann Mahâ‚¬s diplomat husband is given a three-year assignment in Paris, Ann is overjoyed. A lifelong foodie and Francophile, she immediately begins plotting gastronomic adventures Â deux. Then her husband is called away to Iraq on a year-long postâ‚¬"alone. Suddenly, Annâ‚¬s vision of a romantic sojourn in the City of Light is turned upside down.

So, not unlike another diplomatic wife, Julia Child, Ann must find a life for herself in a new city.Â Journeying through Paris and the surrounding regions of France, Ann combats her loneliness by seeking out the perfect pain au chocolat and learning the way the andouillette sausage is really made. She explores the history and taste of everything from boeuf Bourguignon to soupe au pistou to the crispiest of buckwheat crepes. And somewhere between Paris and the south of France, she uncovers a few of lifeâ‚¬s truths.

Like Sarah Turnbullâ‚¬s Almost French and Julie Powellâ‚¬s New York Times bestseller Julie and Julia, Mastering the Art of French Eating is interwoven with the lively characters Ann meets and the traditional recipes she samples. Both funny and intelligent, this is a story about loveâ‚¬"of food, family, and France.
