Shortlisted for a 2021 Taste Canada Award and now available in paperback, Bisous & Brioche will transport you to a rustic French cottage surrounded by vineyardsâno matter where in the world your kitchen might be.
For years readers of Laura Bradburyâs bestselling Grape Series memoirs have been clamouring for the secrets behind all the mouthwatering meals described in the stories about her life in Beaune, Burgundy. Together with her friend, photographer and cookbook author Rebecca Wellman, Laura shares recipes that have been handed down through her husband Franckâs family or passed on by French friends and neighbours, and that now feature regularly on the menu at her house.
Bisous & Brioche features classics like vinaigrettes, madeleines, crêpes,crème fraîche, tarts, cassoulet, coq au vinâdishes whose names alone will warm the heart of any Francophile. The recipes are served up with anecdotes about their arrival in Lauraâs life and are accompanied by Rebeccaâs sun-soaked photos of market visits, meal prep, and lazy lunches in the vineyard.
