Patricia Wells, long recognized as the leading American
authority on French food, and her husband, Walter, live the
life in France that many of us have often fantasized about.
After more than a quarter century, they are as close to
being accepted as "French" as any non-natives can be. In
this delightful memoir they share in two voices their
experiences—the good, the bad, and the funny—offering a
charming and evocative account of their beloved home and
some of the wonderful people they have met along the way.
Full of the flavor and color of the couple's adopted
country, this tandem memoir reflects on the life that France
has made possible for them and explores how living abroad
has shaped their relationship. Written in lyrical,
sensuous prose and filled with anecdotes, insights, and
endearing snapshots of Walter and Patricia over the years,
We've Always Had Paris . . . and Provence beautifully
conveys the nuances of the French and their culture as only
a practiced observer can. Literally a moveable feast to be
savored and shared, including more than thirty recipes that
will delight readers and cooks alike, the couple's valentine
to France and to each other is delicious in every way.
