Louisa Jones: Provence Harvest
This is a beautiful book for anyone interested in the abundant food and extraordinary lifestyle of those lucky souls who call Provence home! The photographs are gorgeous, the recipes delectable.
Grab a blanket, some fresh bread, cheese, a bottle of Pinot Noir and your favorite someone and escape! (*****)
Sophie Kinsella: The Undomestic Goddess
Join high powered attorney Samantha Sweeting as she loses her old life and finds a remarkably relaxing life (and plenty of passion!) as a housekeeper (she can't even make toast!) in the Cotswalds. This book alternately made me laugh out loud and cry from it's simple pleasure. I love all of Sophies Kinsella's books, but this was definitely the best, complete with a yummy romantic English gardener who has a magical kitchen witch of a mother! (*****)
