The Cook and the Gardener: A Year of Recipes and Notes from the French Countryside

The unique, award-winning cookbook—a collection of seasonal recipes from a traditional French garden.The Cook and the Gardener is Amanda Hesser's first book. From the opening lines of its introduction, her literary gifts are as evident as her passion for good food. Since this work combines recipes with her essays about Monsieur Milbert (the gardener at the Chateau du Fey in Burgundy, where Hesser worked as the cook), readers get to enjoy both of her talents.
