The debut cookbook from The Cook's Atelier-the international
culinary destination and cooking school in Burgundy-is a
beautifully photographed resource on classic French cuisine and an
atmospheric chronicle of a family's life in a charming French
village. Mother and daughter American expats Marjorie Taylor and
Kendall Smith Franchini always dreamed of living in France. With a
lot of hard work and a dash of fate, they realized this dream and
cofounded The Cook's Atelier, a celebrated French cooking school in
the storybook town of Beaune, located in the heart of the Burgundy
wine region. Combining their professional backgrounds in food and
wine, they attract visitors from near and far with their
approachable, convivial style of cooking. Featuring more than 100
market-inspired recipes and 300 exceptional photographs, this
comprehensive reference is an extension of their cooking school,
providing a refreshingly simple take on French techniques and
recipes that every cook should know-basic butchery, essential
stocks and sauces, pastry, dessert creams and sauces, and
preserving, to name a few. Seasonal menus build on this foundation,
collecting recipes that showcase their fresh, vegetable-focused
versions of timeless French dishes, such as: Green Garlic Souffle
Watermelon and Vineyard Peach Salad Little Croques Madames Sole
Meuniere with Beurre Blanc and Parsleyed Potatoes Seared Duck
Breast with Celery Root Puree and Chanterelles Madeleines Plum
Tarte Tatin Almond-Cherry Galette Stories of food and life in the
village and the unique atmosphere of the atelier accent this
personal cookbook. We can almost hear the clanking of the copper
pots, the hiss of the vintage espresso machine, and the merriment
around the table, as we meet some of the region's best small
farmers and artisanal producers and experience how Marjorie and
Kendall's family works together to create this special place. More
than a practical introduction to classic French cooking, this
richly illustrated volume is also a distinctively designed
celebration of the French art of joie de vivre and an inspirational
primer on adopting elements of the French lifestyle, no matter
where you live.
Many parents delight in their child's imaginary companion as evidence of a lively imagination and creative mind. At the same time, parents sometimes wonder if the imaginary companion might be a sign that something is wrong. Does having a pretend friend mean that the child is in emotional distress? That he or she has difficulty communicating with other children? In this fascinating book, Marjorie Taylor provides an informed look at current thinking about pretend friends, dispelling many myths about them. In the past a child with an imaginary companion might have been considered peculiar, shy, or even troubled, but according to Taylor the reality is much more positive--and interesting. Not only are imaginary companions surprisingly common, the children who have them tend to be less shy than other children. They also are better able to focus their attention and to see things from another person's perspective. In addition to describing imaginary companions and the reasons children create them, Taylor discusses other aspects of children's fantasy lives, such as their belief in Santa, their dreams, and their uncertainty about the reality of TV characters. Adults who remember their own childhood pretend friends will be interested in the chapter on the relationship between imaginary companions in childhood and adult forms of fantasy. Taylor also addresses practical concerns, providing many useful suggestions for parents. For example, she describes how children often express their own feelings by attributing them to their imaginary companion. If you have a child who creates imaginary creatures, or if you work with pre-schoolers, you will find this book very helpful in understanding the roles that imaginary companions play in children's emotional lives.
