Description: "Clémentine ... was actually the peasant cook of Samual Chamberlain when he and his family lived in France. When the war clouds gathered, she was such an important member of the gourmet family that she could not be left behind. Whether you have visited France or not, you will chuckle as you read Clémentine's adventures with American customs, people, and markets. A light-hearted, entertaining tale, a nostalgic picture for lovers of France and New England. It is also a practical account of good food ... a workable adaptation of the French provincial cuisine to American markets and cooking methods. [Includes] an appendix with 125 recipes from Clémentine's notebook"--from dust jacket flap.
