Who can resist a book that recommends love and chocolate as part of a balanced diet? This buoyant new work responds to overwhelming reader requests for more insights after the success of "French Women Don't Get Fat." It offers a wealth of advice, ideas, and fresh French recipes for each season. Building on the wisdom of her first book, the author shares easy-to-make recipes, anecdotes, and tips drawn from her global experiences. She guides us through her culinary journey, from her childhood in Alsace-Lorraine, where she learned to cook with her mother and grandmother, to Provence, known for its healthy yet richly unusual dishes. Throughout her journey, she emphasizes the importance of enjoying food and dining without compromising one's well-being. In her engaging voice, she illustrates that achieving equilibrium—being bien dans sa peau—is essential for a long, healthy life. The book is filled with irresistible recipes, menus, and stories, along with advice on everything from wine and detoxing to beauty tips and how to tie a scarf. It serves as a guide to savoring the gastronomic and everyday joys of life—in moderation and, above all, with pleasure.
