Be transported to award-winning Mimi Thorisson's rustic farmhouse kitchen in the South-West of France in this sumptuously photographed collection of elegant French recipes.

When Mimi and her husband moved with their young children from Paris to a small town in out-of-the-way M - doc, she discovered a whole new way of sourcing, preparing and eating food. She learnt the joys of growing your own produce and learning to cook with seasonal ingredients; she sourced high-quality produce from local farmers; and she discovered a repertoire of delicious new recipes to cook for her family and friends.

Divided into chapters according to the seasons, A Kitchen in France shares Mimi's mouth-watering recipes, which are rooted in the French classics but given a modern, fresh twist. Perfect for pleasing a crowd, the recipes include parsley tartlets; winter vegetable cocotte; apple tart with orange flower water; and salted butter caramel - these will surely bring a touch of the French countryside into any home.
