Part cookbook, part love letter to life in rural France, The Cook’s Atelier invites you into a family-run cooking school in the heart of Burgundy. Written by mother-and-daughter duo Marjorie Taylor and Kendall Smith Franchini, the book pairs market-inspired French recipes with intimate stories of village life, gathering, and shared meals.

With approachable techniques, seasonal menus, and stunning photography throughout, it’s a book meant to live on the counter, not the shelf. An inspiring reminder that cooking — like home — is built slowly, thoughtfully, and with joy.
