Mother and daughter Marjorie Taylor and Kendall Smith Franchini left America for Burgundy and built something remarkable — The Cook's Atelier, a celebrated cooking school in the storybook town of Beaune, in the heart of the wine region. This debut cookbook is both a practical reference and an atmospheric portrait of their life there.

More than 100 market-inspired recipes cover the French techniques every cook should know, from basic butchery and essential stocks to pastry, preserves, and seasonal menus built around fresh, vegetable-forward takes on classic dishes. Photographed by Anson Smart with 300 exceptional images, it captures the copper pots, the village producers, and the convivial spirit of the atelier itself. An IACP Cookbook Award winner for Design and for Food Photography and Styling.
