“Makenna Held is the Elizabeth Gilbert of cooking, and her book is for anyone who has fantasized about picking up and starting over to follow a dream. It’s also for people who want to bring the romance of southern France into their lives, as Makenna takes us to centuries-old charming markets and olive groves and shows us how to produce some of the most gloriously simple and gloriously iconic foods (galettes! tarte tatin, pistous!) in our own kitchens. I couldn't be more inspired.” -Jenny Rosenstrach, NY Times bestselling author of Dinner: A Love Story and The Weekday Vegetarians
***********
“I love this book! Mostly French was conceived and cooked in Julia Child’s magical and simple kitchen in Provence, and her spirit grabs you on each page. Makenna Held puts her heart in the sumptuous and straightforward recipes modeled on French classics, and I’m certain I’ll be cooking my way through this book for many years to come.” –Daniel Leader, Founder, Bread Alone bakery
“One day I hope to visit "la Peetch" but in the meantime, I'm very happy to have Mostly French. Makenna Held describes the landscape and her cooking philosophy in ways that are evocative and aspirational but more importantly approachable. Who wouldn't want to make something called Celery Salad Gone Wild? I know I do.
After flipping through the pages for just a few minutes I started flagging recipes and imagining future dinner parties and special family meals. I want to create Makenna's beautiful world in my own home, and with Mostly French that seems altogether possible.” – Samantha Seneviratne, author of Bake Smart
***********
“The little vacation house that Julia Child and her husband Paul built in the south of France—complete with the perfect kitchen—is the setting and inspiration for Makenna’s fun, easy-going, approachable cookbook. Mostly French is a total delight!”
—Luke Barr, New York Times Bestselling Author of Provence, 1970
***********
"I want to eat this book! This is the kind of home cooked recipes that your grandmother teaches you... if your grandmother were Julia Child! Mostly French is a must-have for any home cook's kitchen from beginner to expert just wanting to feel inspired by the warmth of food and soleil from the South of France."
–Jamie Beck, author of NYT Bestseller An American in Provence
