With rich and transporting photography, a back-to-basics approach to French cooking, and an inspiring story of starting over, French Kitchen Lessons is your passport to the abundance and beauty of the French countryside. In 2010, Cat Bude and her husband left their jobs in the Pacific Northwest, packed up their house and kids and moved to Normandy, France. Uprooted and longing for connection, the search for a home base began. They found that and more in the form of a run-down, rambling farmhouse, overrun with wild rabbits. Now restored, and lovingly named Rabbit Hill Farm, this is the center of Cat’s world, and her vehicle for sharing the joys of country life with others, from guided market trips to lavender harvest parties, and cooking classes. Following the seasons, French Kitchen Lessons begins with classic French staples like sauces, and stocks, then teaches you how to create simple, satisfying, and elegant dishes like Steamed Mussels with Pernod, Summer Vegetable Tian, a Wild Mushroom Omelet, Cider-Braised Pork, and Lemon Poppy Seed Crêpes—all inspired by the French market-to-table tradition. Finding a common language in food and feeding others, French Kitchen Lessons is a celebration of food, farm life, and the seasons–not only the seasons of the year, but the seasons of life: starting over, finding your place, and creating new connections.

Comfort classics with a lighter spin, from the creator of the healthy-eating blog Well Plated by Erin. Known for her incredibly approachable, slimmed-down, and outrageously delicious recipes, Erin Clarke is the creator of the smash-hit food blog in the healthy-eating blogosphere, Well Plated by Erin. Clarke's site welcomes millions of readers, and with good reason: Her recipes are fast, budget-friendly, and clever; she never includes an ingredient you can't find in a regular supermarket or that isn't essential to a dish's success, and she hacks her recipes for maximum nutrition by using the "stealthy healthy" ingredient swaps she's mastered so that you don't lose an ounce of flavor. In this essential cookbook for everyday cooking, Clarke shares more than 130 brand-new rapid-fire recipes, along with secrets to lightening up classic comfort favorites inspired by her midwestern roots, and clever recipe hacks that will enable you to put a healthy meal on the table any night of the week. Many of the recipes feature a single ingredient used in multiple, ingenious ways, such as Sweet Potato Boats 5 Ways. The recipes are affordable and keep practicality top-of-mind. She's eliminated odd leftover "orphan" ingredients and included Market Swaps so you can adjust the ingredients based on the season or what you have on hand. To help you make the most of your cooking, she's even included tips to store and reheat leftovers, as well as clever ideas to turn them into an entirely new dish. From One-Pot Creamy Sundried Tomato Orzo to Sheet Pan Tandoori Chicken, all of the recipes are accessible to cooks of every level, and so indulgent you won't detect the healthy ingredients. As Clarke always hears from her readers, "My family doesn't like healthy food, but they LOVED this!" This is your homey guide to a healthier kitchen.
