HOW TO COOK BOUILLABAISSE
IN 37 EASY STEPS

Culinary Adventures in Paris & Provence

By Diane Shaskin & Mark Craft


“The leaves on the vines are big and green
and grinning at the sun, the grapes hanging below.
It’s a glorious summer day in Provence,
one of those days that makes you want
to get out your paints and easel.
Today we are in the heart of one of the best wine
regions of France for a day of cooking.”


They were moving from Canada to the California wine country when a change of plans took them on an unexpected trip to France. It turned out to be a love affair that didn’t end. How to Cook Bouillabaisse in 37 Easy Steps chronicles their culinary adventures: shopping the food markets from Paris to the wine villages of Provence; learning how to make the perfect roast lamb from the village butcher; tasting their way around the 56 French AOC cheeses; creating authentic Paris bistro food in the kitchens of the Ritz. And of course, learning how to make bouillabaisse from an eccentric chef in Avignon.

Filled with rich detail and charming anecdotes, this is also a personal story of making friends, adopting a son, and discovering their place in the world.
