Explore the food of France's borderlands with acclaimed chef Alex
Jackson in his second cookbook Frontières. This is a book about
the cooking of France’s borderlands: from the geographical to the
historical, linguistic and metaphorical. In it, Alex Jackson sets
out to investigate the cooking of these borderland areas with a
view to exploring the similarities between the food on either side
of the borders. From the Riviera, where the border has shifted many
times but the cooking remains of a delicious whole, to the Occitan
valleys of the Italian Alps, the Franco-German cooking of Alsace,
and Marseille, one of the most important ports of the
Mediterranean, and its historic (and current) links with North
Africa. Alex explores how French cuisine has been influenced
through history and that many of these dishes are part of a shared
tradition of western European and Mediterranean cookery. With over
80 mouth-watering recipes and fascinating introductions to each
region, Frontières will take you on a delicious gastronomic
journey through France's varied borderlands, adding many
interesting dishes to your repertoire along the way.

Soon to be a limited Netflix series starring Zoe Saldana! This
Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick and New York Times bestseller is
"a captivating story of love lost and found" (Kirkus Reviews) set
in the lush Sicilian countryside, where one woman discovers the
healing powers of food, family, and unexpected grace in her darkest
hours. It was love at first sight when actress Tembi met
professional chef, Saro, on a street in Florence. There was just
one problem: Saro's traditional Sicilian family did not approve of
his marrying a black American woman. However, the couple,
heartbroken but undeterred, forged on. They built a happy life in
Los Angeles, with fulfilling careers, deep friendships, and the
love of their lives: a baby girl they adopted at birth. Eventually,
they reconciled with Saro's family just as he faced a formidable
cancer that would consume all their dreams. From Scratch chronicles
three summers Tembi spends in Sicily with her daughter, Zoela, as
she begins to piece together a life without her husband in his tiny
hometown hamlet of farmers. Where once Tembi was estranged from
Saro's family, now she finds solace and nourishment-literally and
spiritually-at her mother-in-law's table. In the Sicilian
countryside, she discovers the healing gifts of simple fresh food,
the embrace of a close knit community, and timeless traditions and
wisdom that light a path forward. All along the way she reflects on
her and Saro's romance-an incredible love story that leaps off the
pages. In Sicily, it is said that every story begins with a
marriage or a death-in Tembi Locke's case, it is both. "Locke's raw
and heartfelt memoir will uplift readers suffering from the loss of
their own loved ones" (Publishers Weekly), but her story is also
about love, finding a home, and chasing flavor as an act of
remembrance. From Scratch is for anyone who has dared to reach for
big love, fought for what mattered most, and those who needed a
powerful reminder that life is...delicious.
