Fresh Cookbook Faces
Happily, publisher Gibbs Smith, has decided to re-vamp the covers on all of the books in the French Cook series. The signature bright colors will remain under fresh new covers that will showcase the gorgeous photography in each book, and also eliminate the pesky plastic wrap that made it hard for cookbook shoppers to see what’s within these beautiful pages. Here’s a sneak preview of what will be hitting bookstore and internet shelves in the next few weeks.
I hope you will love the new look. Please write and let me know your thoughts.
As always, bon appetit and happy cooking!

The creme de la creme of French stews, really nothing tops this beloved classic stew for flavor and presentation. And, it’s suprisingly easy to make. It’s all outlined here in my recent post on The Permanent Tourist Charleston. Enjoy!

Hello friends,
So sorry to have been absent most of this week. House sale pending and visiting guests deemed getting to the computer nearly impossible.
I want to clue you in on this fabulous recipe from recently released The French Cook: Soups & Stews (Gibbs Smith, September 1, 2014). It’s absolutely one of my favorites because it is so delicious and fragrant, and as stews go, relatively quick to make. Here’s the link to my recent post on charleston.thepermanenttourist.com:

Please come visit me at my upcoming signing at Goat.Sheep.Cow. at the corner of Broad and Church Street in Charleston on Saturday, October 4, from 2 to 5 p.m.
Soup samples, fun and books will all be available.
Until then, bon appetit!
