It took years for her neighbors to accept her and her children as belonging, like the seasons, in the rhythm of their life and to share with her their traditional family recipes, 40 pages of which conclude this book. When Caws is not gardening, drawing water from a place not too near, reading, translating, repairing a beam or a window, she is making meals for her family and friends—the simplest of dinners exciting our appetites: For all her quotidian duties, the seemingly endless work of obtaining and preparing and cooking a meal, the negotiating of narrow roads and hilly climbs by bike or by an old midget car to carry water to the house, there are meditative moments in the beauty of the commonplace: Over it hangs a grapevine.
The grapes ripen at the end of the summer, growing more purple by the day.
Provenal Cooking: Savoring the Simple Life in France
A large table is placed in the field here, among the grasses and the wild flowers, where you can sit looking at the cherry trees at the end of the field, observe the way the light changes, from the sunshine of early morning to the late darkness lit only by stars. In any case the color of the figs and the white of the cheese set each other off to perfection, sugared or not, cut up or whole.
If you happen to have some green almonds available, put a little dish of them alongside and let each person remove the kernels while eating.

WWD got the inside scoop from victoriabeckham on her show, which will take place at Ropac Gallery and be live-streamed on the big 4K LED digital screen in Piccadilly Circus tomorrow morning. Since the book talks anachronistically of the franc, the reader realizes that these events took place in the Stone Age before the euro; with any luck, Greenside has since mastered the fine art of the French subjunctive -- or at least the conditional past -- in the intervening years.
Vive la France!
The book winds up with a winning description of a 50th birthday party Greenside threw for himself, and then -- baf! Greenside realizes that when you try to live a bifurcated, bi-national life, there's a price to be paid no matter how good the cheese. When something happens there, I worry. I now worry two times as much as I used to.

It was through her work with Char that she came to love Provence and to be the owner of a, yes, crumbling structure called a "cabanon. The reader learns that Caws is divorced at some point and that she is now remarried, but we are never told directly about anything more controversial than the look of Provence's celebrated Mont Ventoux or the usefulness of always having a basil plant nearby.
In addition, the book is marred by a troubling sloppiness, especially in the recipe section. Phrases and even whole paragraphs appear on one page, only to reappear with little or no alteration on another.
