French Kitchen Lessons is a celebration of food, farm life, and the seasons—not only the seasons of the year, but the seasons of life: starting over, finding your place, and gathering with loved ones.

In 2010, Cat Bude and her husband left their jobs in Seattle, packed up their house and their kids, and moved to Normandy, France. After much looking, they found a run-down, rambling farmhouse, overrun with wild rabbits, and Rabbit Hill Farm was born. As Cat and her family settled into life on the farm, an urge to share the joys of country life led Cat to start her blog, Rabbit Hill Lifestyle, and eventually she began hosting vintage shopping tours, guided market trips, lavender harvest parties, and cooking classes for readers of her blog traveling to Rabbit Hill.
