Nice memories of Loomis, who now teaches in the French village in Normandy, Louviers kitchen.

She describes her time in cooking school in Paris, her marriage and move to Louviers, where she and her new husband of a former monastery in the city center. I loved life (and retraining) in a small village in France (the trials and joys) and as she began to teach reading cooking.

E 'was great to read, and many recipes.

There have been someDisorders and writing not-so-great power in the book --- which could easily get his attention with better editing.




On Rue Tatin: Living and Cooking in a French Town Overview


Susan Loomis arrived in Paris twenty years ago with little more than a student loan and the contents of a suitcase to sustain her. But what
began then as an apprenticeship at La Varenne École de Cuisine evolved into a lifelong immersion in French cuisine and culture, culminating in permanent residency in 1994. On Rue Tatin chronicles her journey to an ancient little street in Louviers, one of Normandy’s most picturesque towns.

With lyrical prose and wry candor, Loomis recalls the miraculous restoration that she and her husband performed on the dilapidated convent they chose for their new residence. As its ochre and azure floor tiles emerged, challenges outside the dwelling mounted. From squatters to a surly priest next door, along with a close-knit community wary of outsiders, Loomis tackled the social challenges head-on, through persistent dialogue–and baking.

On Rue Tatin includes delicious recipes that evoke the essence of this region, such as Apple and Thyme Tart, Duck Breast with Cider, and Braised Chicken in White Wine and Mustard. Transporting readers to a world where tradition is cherished, On Rue Tatin provides a touching glimpse of the camaraderie, exquisite food, and simple pleasures of daily life in a truly glorious corner of Normandy.
