Praise for PICNIC IN PROVENCE "This charming follow-up to the
author's bestselling Lunch in Paris....bring[s] the tastes of
Provence off the page and onto your table." --Woman's Day "Like the
Provençal food and lifestyle it celebrates, Bard's book is one to
be savored slowly and with care. Delectable reading." --Kirkus
Reviews "Funny, sassy, and bittersweet: a heart-warming story with
a delightful foodie twist. After all, who wouldn't want to run
away, marry a Frenchman, and open an 'adventurous ice cream' store
in a medieval Provençal village?" --Karen Le Billon, author of
French Kids Eat Everything "I was entranced by PICNIC IN PROVENCE
from Elizabeth Bard's very first encounter with spring asparagus in
the French countryside. Her tale of delicious adventure left me
drooling-and her sensitive thoughts on marriage and motherhood were
like a heartfelt conversation with a true friend. A delightful
book, filled with humor, heart, and the heady scent of lavender."
--Ann Mah, author of Mastering the Art of French Eating
"I love Elizabeth's brave funny forays into French life." --Diane
Johnson, author of Le Divorce "A delicious journey through La Belle
France...funny, insightful, wicked and wise, and the cherry on top
is the delicious recipes." --Jamie Cat Callan, author of French
Women Don't Sleep Alone "Talk about the sweet life: Elizabeth
Bard's new chapter is filled with love, parenthood and her very own
ice cream shop, and she graciously shares the journey with a salty
swirl of intelligence and humor." --Amy Thomas, author of Paris, My
Sweet "Once again, Elizabeth Bard welcomes us into a fantasy-this
time, family life in a charming old house in the south of France.
With its sharing of stories and recipes, PICNIC IN PROVENCE is a
friendship that deepens with every page." --Suzan Colón, author of
Cherries in Winter "With funny, sharp, and insightful writing, not
to mention a collection of delectable recipes, Bard reminds us what
is important and that nothing's perfect." --Michelle Gable, author
of A Paris Apartment "A journey to the true heart and soul of
living 'la vie française.' Warm, thoughtful, and beautiful--a
memoir to be savored one delicious chapter (and recipe) at a time.
From truffle hunting to harvesting saffron, readers will discover
that there is way more to France than just Paris. The simple things
in life-love and cooking with love-make every struggle and
adjustment worth it. Bon app!" --Samantha Vérant, author of Seven
Letters from Paris "This book takes delightful twists and turns.
Not unlike the winding roads of Provence. Magnifique!" --Janice
MacLeod, author of Paris Letters
