My Two Heavens: A Cooking Life Between Martinborough And A Village In France by Jo Crabb

A memoir of restaurateur and chef Jo Crabb, the story of her enviable life between Martinborough and southern France, and recipes from her cooking school Careme. Jo Crabb and her partner, artist Stephen Allwood, spend most of the year in Martinborough, Jo running her cooking classes from Palliser Estate vineyard and Stephen painting. Jo and Stephen moved to Martinborough in 1995, right at the beginning of the wine and food culture boom. They ran the famous Caf Medici in Martinborough for 11 years before setting up Careme in 2009, and it's fast becoming an institution amongst the Wellington dinner party set. Jo runs beginner cooking courses from 'easy' right up to 'master', mostly focusing on her love for French cooking techniques. This is the story of Jo's life in food, filled with recipes, and the story of finally realising her greatest aspiration by buying a house in la France profonde - deepest France. The book is beautifully illustrated with Stephen's drawings. This 2014 Random House New Zealand Softcover is in good condition. Ex Library. Ex library, though this is only evident from a small stamp on the first page. Some light wear and fading on cover. Pages tanned.
