In 1992, New Zealanders Sarah & Denis La Touche decided to follow their dream and moved to the south of France. They brought a charming nineteenth-century 'maison de maitre' in a very pretty village in the Languedoc region of france and restored it to create Les Mimosas, an elegant country guest house serving good, honest cuisine and good regional wines.
Inspired by a love of French food and wine and the French way of life, 'The Les Mimosas Cookbook' collects together recipes arranged by season and featuring the best, fresh local produce cooked simply. In spring, fresh artichokes and asparagus abound; summer is the time of plentiful tomatoes and aubergines; autumn is the beginning of the citrus and pear season; and winter appetites are satisfied with hearty soups and stews.
Included are over 150 wonderful recipes with delightful anecdotal introductions and illustrated with evocative colour photographs of ingredients, finished dishes and the countryside around Les Mimosas, this book captures the essence of French country cuisine.
