After a failed attempt to bring transport her favorite vegetable kale from New York City in her luggage, homesick Kristen begin a quest to find elusive vegetable in the French markets. A member of the cabbage family, kale is easy to grow and can be harvested in about sixty days after germinating. It is a journey of childhood recollections, dating, marriage, and relationships as Kristen settles into life in France. The book is peppered with recipes. Here's another Paris memoir. Goodness! Is there an infinite market for American in Paris fairy tales? I will give author Kristen Beddard points for not being in love with the idea of Paris before she gets there & for doing a realistic job of describing the alienation a person feels not being able to speak the language beyond the level of a two-year old. However, her breathless descriptions on the joys of kale and her messianic quest to reintroduce the green to France was not appealing - maybe because I've just never gotten into the whole kale craze. At least it was a quick read. I received an ARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. I finally finished my foodie Paris book, Bonjour Kale. I was a little reluctant to try Bonjour Kale. Yes, I adore Paris, but a story about the woman who reintroduces Paris to kale? Happily, Kristen Beddard is a solid writer, and her passion for kale has convinced me to give this healthy-food vegetable a try. Preferably in Paris, but who knows? A lovely memoir of life in Paris by Kirsten Beddard. Whilst growing up in America, she "grew up" with kale. Moving to Paris with her husband she realised that kale was not to be found anywhere, or being mistaken for cabbage, which it isn't. Kristen set about the onerous task of introducing the leafy vegetable to France. This book reads as a memoir, French travel and recipe book rolled into one and should be on everyone's cookery book shelf. I was given a digital copy of this book by the publisher Sourcebooks via Netgalley in return for an honest unbiased review. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
This is the story of how one expat woman left her beloved behind when she moved to France-her beloved kale, that is. Unable to find le chou kale anywhere upon moving to the City of Light with her new husband, and despite not really speaking French, Kristen Beddard launched a crusade to single-handedly bring kale to the country of croissants and cheese. Infused with Kristen's recipes and some from French chefs, big and small (including Michelin star chef Alain Passard) Bonjour Kale is a humorous, heartfelt memoir of how Kristen, kale, and France collide.
