Mimi Thorisson writes cookbooks centred on French regional food, family meals and life in the countryside. A Kitchen in France gathers recipes inspired by the Médoc, including roasts, tarts, market vegetables and traditional desserts, while French Country Cooking broadens the focus to seasonal menus and gatherings. Old World Italian turns towards recipes and food traditions encountered across Italy.

They fit French cookery, regional European food, entertaining and illustrated culinary lifestyle. Read more Less
