French Kitchen Lessons …

Just under three years ago I set out to write my book, “French Kitchen Lessons”. From the very start I was determined to write a book that not only offered classic and traditional French recipes, but created an intricate weave of food and stories that would become a memoir of the period of life when I went from tourist to immigrant and started a life in a new country. In this book, I was thrilled to be able to offer both insights about living in France while teaching necessary techniques and tried and true culinary methods from the many years of teaching in-person cooking workshops. What resulted was a book that exudes moments of grace, challenges and victories, kitchen and life lessons, sweet gatherings and delicious cuisine — all wrapped up in one book of hundreds of recipes and countless images.

I am so honored to share it with you! I am setting out to do a small hometown tour of one of my favorite places in the world — the Pacific Northwest!

I hope you can join me!

UPDATE: Thank you for your support!

I just returned from an amazing trip to the US to celebrate and promote my book! I can’t wait to share updates about the events above! It was such a thrill to meet so many of you in-person when I traveled to Seattle, Bainbridge Island, Sisters, Bend and Portland! The PNW will always be HOME to me and I also keep a piece of my heart in Central Oregon! Doing book signing events was such a privilege, let alone so FUN!

Check back to read more about my adventures! I will be updating this page soon!

What people are saying …

"Gently led through the French farmhouse kitchen on a culinary journey filled with fresh ingredients and even fresher ideas, I was warmed by the Normandy sunshine pouring through the window and the warm wafts from the open oven door. A perfect blend of storytelling and satin finish photos drew me, page after page, into Cat Bude’s Rabbit Hill Farm experience. A joy from Farm to Fable.”

"What a delight to be invited into this old farmhouse in Normandy as Cat Bude weaves culinary magic sharing her family’s favorite recipes, one “French Kitchen Lesson” at a time. The beautifully lit photographs that Cat takes in her family kitchen at Rabbit Hill Farm, enhance the personal stories and classic recipes that she shares of four seasons of farm-inspired cooking. From a bright spring appetizer as simple as “Oeufs Mayonnaise” to a classic Normandy style “Cider-Braised Pork Cheeks,” these are her love-infused French Kitchen Lessons to share with your own family and friends."
