The recipes are simple yet inspirational and tucked in between her poetic words and stunning photographs are countless tips and tricks for making each recipe a success.”It’s no secret that the French love food and in My French Family Table, Béa brings the passion, love, care, and beauty ingrained in her from her French childhood to our table. The recipes are inspiring and approachable.

“We have similarly aged children as Béatrice and are huge fans of La Tartine Gourmande (blog and book!) so we were thrilled to receive her new book. My French Family Table is focused around one of our favourite subjects—cooking and enjoying food with your family—and it is just as gorgeous, colourful and warm as her first book. We also love how Béa makes gluten-free baking so natural, easy and effortless. Truly inspiring!”—David Frenkiel & Luise Vindahl, authors of The Green Kitchen and Green Kitchen Travels
