Anouchka, Madame Douazan, Great-Aunt Simone. These are not characters from one of Joanne Harris's novels, they are the inspiration for a mouth-watering celebration of French cuisine. For, like Framboise, the heroine of Five Quarters of the Orange, Joanne Harris has family recipes that have been passed down through the generations, and she shares them with us now. From Grandmother's Festival Loaf to traditional French classics like Moules Mariniere or Daube of Beef, The French Kitchen is a tantalizing collection of casseroles, soups, roast, salads, tarts and sweets.

A collaboration between a writer who loves food and a former chef who loves writing about food, The French Kitchen gathers together simple yet stylish recipes from the heart of a French family.
