Freedom Fries and Café Crème

This genre-bending book is part short stories, part recipe book, and utterly delicious


Perceptive, touching, and witty, Jocelyne Rapinac’s tales prove beyond doubt that eating well and love can both bring great joy to life.

Whether in Boston or Burgundy, Paris or New York, most of the characters in this edible story collection are looking for love, even if some of them don’t know it. But what they do all share is a delight in great food, which they know can feed the soul and bring joy to life – often more so than love. There’s a story for every month of the year, and if your mouth starts watering as you read, Jocelyne Rapinac has included the recipe for every dish mentioned. Read the story—try the recipes! Bon appétit!
