I am delighted to share the third and final sale of our collection of culinary antiques and decorative arts, created once again with our friends at Chez Pluie. Walter and I have gathered these pieces throughout our many years in France, from Provençal furniture and paintings to tableware, textiles and the cookware that has filled our kitchens. They come from Chanteduc, our home and cooking school in Provence, and our apartment in Paris, and each has been part of the way we have lived, cooked and entertained.

The catalogue is now available to preview. Pieces will be available for purchase from 11:30 a.m. ET on October 4.

My heartfelt thanks to all the students who have brought me so much fulfillment and friendship throughout the 30 years that I offered my cooking classes in Paris and Provence. Those days are over now – definitively – but the pleasure of sharing and learning goes on and on as a lifetime reward.  

You can stay in touch by following me on Instagram where I still offer occasional tips on new restaurants and old favorites.  I am happy to pass the torch and the torchon (the whisk, the timer, the wooden spoon ...) to two longtime friends, great cooks and excellent teachers, Susan Herrmann Loomis in Paris and Suzanne Kay in Provence. Take their classes – you will not be disappointed!!

Meanwhile, you can still access my recipes through this site, as well as find the details of all my books (still in print!) and the Food Lover’s Guide to Paris iPhone app.   

The sale of my collectibles from Paris and Provence continues with Chez Pluie – you can visit their website to browse volume 1 and volume 2.
