At once a memoir, a celebration of French-inspired cooking, and a tribute to the wild, Dining with Elephants invites you to taste not just the meals but the magic of a life lived close to nature.

When Françoise traded Parisian comforts for Zululand, she had no idea her kitchen would one day be shared with elephants, cheeky monkeys, and the occasional snake. What began as a rundown farmhouse became Thula Thula Private Game Reserve – a place where hospitality and conservation entwine in the most unexpected ways.

This book blends mouth-watering recipes with tales of life alongside a cast of mischievous creatures who regularly gatecrash the dinner table. From baboons in the swimming pool to elephants sampling the vegetable garden, each story captures the chaos, humour, and deep lessons of living with the wild.

Alongside, Françoise shares the inventive, resourceful dishes created with her Zulu kitchen team.

Dining with Elephants is not your ordinary cookbook. It’s a feast of stories and flavours from the heart of the African bush, where French cuisine meets wild adventure.

Memphis is equal parts music and food--the products of a community marked with grit and resiliency. The city's blues and soul music have lifted spirits, while barbecue has been a serious business ever since pork first entered the culinary landscape of Memphis with Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto, who brought the New World its first herd of pigs. Succulent pulled pork and ribs have become part of the fabric of life in the River City, and today they are cooked up in kitchens ranging from the internationally acclaimed, like Corky's, to the humblest of roadside dives. Told through the history of its barbecue is the story of the city of Memphis, from legendary joints like Leonard's Barbecue, where Elvis Presley hosted private parties, to lesser-known places like William's Bar-B-Q in the West Memphis, Arkansas neighborhood where wild, late-night blues juke joints served as a red-light district across the river from Beale Street in the 1950s and '60s. Sink your teeth into this rich history chock-full of interviews and insights from the city's finest pitmasters and 'cue gurus who continue the long tradition of creating art with meat and flame.
