At My French Table: Food, Family and Joie De Vivre in a Corner of Normandy is Jane Webster’s culinary account of her discovery of this beautiful part of France and its gastronomy, through the search and restoration of a castle chosen for her cookery school.

When Webster sells her house in Melbourne and takes her four children out of school to move to a grand but neglected chateau in Normandy, she isn't sure how they will adapt to their new French lives. But soon enough, the family is immersed in the tiny village of Bosgouet, embracing the unhurried pace and seasonal rhythms of rural France. There is a new language to learn, new friends to make and a whole region - from Paris to Rouen and Deauville - to discover.

Restoring the cheateau to its former glory also gives Jane the opportunity to fulfill her lifelong dream of establishing a cookery school. With an abundance of fresh produce at hand and the advice of local traiteurs and chefs, Jane brings the flavours of Normandy to life at her table.

Filled with exquisite photography, 40 regional recipes and stories from Webster’s daily life, At My French Table captures the simple pleasures of family life in Normandy.
