Over the years I cannot tell you how many readers have written me to say how hungry they get reading the books in the Maggie Newberry Mysteries! That’s not at all hard to believe since amazing food is such a dominant feature in the stories—and that’s not surprising because, as Lumière says in the famous song from Beauty and the Beast, “after all this is France!”
So many readers have asked me to put the recipes located at the back of each mystery all in one place to make it easier for them to duplicate Laurent’s favorites meals.
And so, voila! Here are some of Laurent’s favorite recipes. I hope you enjoy these tastes of the region and that these dishes become favorite staples in your kitchen just as they are in mine—and of course in Laurent’s.
Bon appétit!
