Tons of photos and many recipes combine to form a memoir of how Jane Webster (an Australian, wife, mother, chef, Francophile, and entrepreneur) bought an old château in France with her husband in 2005 and moved her family of four young children to the tiny village of Bosgouet in Normandy. They restored the historic 72-room château with the goal of establishing a cookery school, which they opened soon after.

Coincidentally, before I read this book, we had been traveling in the heart of Normandy, and had recently visited several of the towns Jane lovingly describes. That made reading this book all the more enjoyable. But whether or not you’ve been there, this book will make you feel as if you are traveling in the area and visiting Château de Bosgouet. And it’s made me want to investigate her classes and consider spending time with Jane at her French table, where her dreams became reality. ( )

This is a delicious book about an Australian woman and her family who relocate to France and restore a Chateau with the aim of running French Cooking classes there. It is a mouth-watering book and when you finish you may feel slightly dissastisfied with your life! ( )
