“The author’s straightforward narrative delivers vivid imagery of both the surroundings and the people . . . An engaging gastronomic presentation of French history and culture.”—Kirkus Reviews“Bumpus’s attention to detail creates a rich sense of people and places. . . . The food that Bumpus tastes and writes about is unforgettable, thanks to the array of included recipes with unusual names. . . . Eloquent and packed with history, geography, and recipes, Searching for Family and Traditions at the French Table: Book Two is a melting pot text––a travel memoir that’s concerned with cuisine and culture, too.”—Foreword Clarion Reviews“Once again accompanied by her friend, Josiane, a French native, Bumpus seeks culinary education and an understanding of each region’s unique traditions. Together the women discover the impact of the great wars on the country’s residents, and, most heart-wrenching, information about Josiane’s father. Lots of new tastes abound. . . . ”—Booklist“. . . her conversational style easily draws the reader into the experience. An enjoyable book for those interested in France, WWII, and French food.”—Judy Alter, StoryCircle Book Reviews“Bumpus weaves wonderful stories into her adventures.

Whether you love France, enjoy discovering new things, want to try some of the traditional recipes at the end of this book, or just want a thoroughly enjoyable read, I highly recommend this book!”—The Good Life France

 

Praise for Book One of Savoring the Olde Ways:



“Both a regional history and a cooking memoir, this is even more than the sum of its parts, and a celebration of living life every moment. Francophiles, history fans, and foodies will love this book.”—Booklist“. . . engaging. . . . Bumpus’s writing is perspicuous and economical. . . . The recipes, too, are enticing and detailed, and the book as a whole should appeal to Francophiles and ambitious cooks. A culinary adventure that’s enhanced by familial and regional histories.”—Kirkus Reviews“The book is peppered with descriptions of regional and family dishes . . . and is a wonderful ride through four regions of France, generating great excitement for its follow-up.”—Foreword Reviews“Mouth-wateringly delicious, evocative, and utterly charming.”―French Book Worm, on Good Life France.com“These are stories of history and change, of cherishing traditions partly because of the sense that they may not continue forever, making them even more precious and Bumpus’ recording of them even more vital. . . .”―Jeannette Ferrary, author of MFK Fisher and Me: A Memoir of Food and Friendship“Carole’s enthusiasm for the region’s people, history and culinary traditions leaps from the pages in this down-to-earth exploration of north-eastern France. Pull up a chair, pour yourself a glass of wine and dig in!”―Fiona Valpy, author of The French for Love“This is a gem of a book for foodies, Francophiles and lovers of storytelling. Carole Bumpus is an insightful and gracious guest.”―Patricia Sands, author of the best-selling Love in Provence series“In a carefully constructed itinerary, and with notebook in hand, Carole visits with local families who recount how traditional French dishes have been woven into their everyday lives and upbringings. . . . This book is chock-full of details and foodie inspiration and gives the reader intimate insight into French home-cooking traditions.”―Belle Provence Travels“This book is a gem . . . . If food, France, history, and culture interest you, then don’t miss this book that perfectly combines all of these and more.”―The French Village Diaries“Warning: Do not read this book if you are hungry or within reach of a credit card. You will end up cooking (and eating) all of the included recipes, or buying a ticket for the next flight to France, or both―all while devouring this book. Because, much like the dishes and stories she describes, Carole Bumpus’ writing is simply delectable.”―Pink Pangea

the breadth of the fields and topics covered is to be applauded, for the book is in fact tightly structured ... The need for brevity in each article has forced a concise style upon the authors who have pared down and concentrated their material, which makes for a stimulating read. The book is enlivened by apt illustrations with useful explanatory captions, a good glossary and politico-cultural chronology. Altogether a must for the Reading List.
