Discover the enchanting and mouthwatering celebration At Home in France: Eating and Entertaining with the French by Christopher Petkanas — a stunning tribute to French hospitality, cuisine, and the art of living well!

This beautifully crafted book takes you inside 18 diverse French homes across the country — from rustic farmhouses in Brittany and Provence to elegant apartments and ancestral vineyards — offering an intimate glimpse into how real French people cook, entertain, and share meals. With vivid anecdotes, cultural insights, and a deep appreciation for both simple cuisine rustique and refined haute cuisine, Petkanas reveals the effortless warmth, attention to detail, and joy that define French gatherings. Each chapter spotlights a different household and region, concluding with tempting recipes that bring those flavors straight to your table.

Paired with breathtaking photography by Jean-Bernard Naudin (known for capturing the essence of French life), the book is as much a visual feast as it is a culinary guide — evoking the scents, tastes, and atmosphere of sharing a well-laid table in France.

Ideal for food lovers and Francophiles who dream of authentic French cooking and entertaining, home cooks eager for regional recipes and inspiration to elevate everyday meals or dinner parties, travel enthusiasts who enjoy armchair journeys through France’s diverse landscapes and lifestyles, and anyone who appreciates gorgeous lifestyle books with stunning photos, heartfelt stories, and a touch of nostalgia — perfect for coffee-table display, kitchen inspiration, or as a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves all things French!
