"Cooking in Provence." Not only are the recipes fairly simple but she gives wonderful quotes and where to shop for pottery, olive oil, and where to eat. I'm predudice as I met her twice, I'm a big fan, and her choices of where to eat and her favorite olive oil are mine.

Mimi, is her book called Bistro cooking or something like that, new also?
Thanks~

When she went to Pius XI High School in Milwaukee, WI - she was Pat - nobody called her Patricia.
My choice for Best Olive Oil - Le Sambuc on La Camargue.

I don't care what she was called before.
We all our our favorite olive oils.

Bob Appitit...now there's a good name for a cookbook author!

Scarlett

Mimi, I meant, Patricia Wells also has a book called Bistro something..I was wondering if you knew if that was a new book or not

I just received Truffle Oil as a gift, that is now my favorite oil.

JoeG

alright wise guys, %^&$*#
Scarlett the Bistro cookbook is an earlier book that came out in '89.
I like her " At home in Provence"
and "The Paris Cookbook."

"I rely on the kindness of strangers."Not here , Blanche!

For a moment, I thought it read: no ham intended...

JoeG

Ham was intended!!!

Scarlett

Would that be Ham and Corny??

Thanks Mimi, I love The Paris Cookbook although it would be enjoyed more if I were actually cooking IN Paris or at least eating there~

I worship her Bistro book -- my paperback copy is covered in olive oil, flour and other interesting relics of frequent use.

Scarlett

The best cookbooks are the ones with all the little oil and sauce stains!
I have to get that Bistro book.

There are currently 2 of the Bistro books available on half.com. (No mention of the amount of oil and sauce stains on them, if any)
