What Being French At Heart Really Means | Our New Cookbook

What does it mean to be French at heart? In this video, we’re sharing the inspiration behind our new cookbook, French At Heart: Recipes That Bring France Home—and why French living is about so much more than just recipes.

After running our cooking school in Burgundy for over 15 years, we’ve learned that being French at heart isn’t about where you live or what language you speak. It’s about slowing down, savoring small moments, and bringing people together around your table with intention and love.

In French At Heart, we invite you into our home at the Woodland House, sharing the simple, joyful meals we cook for our family and the philosophy that guides everything we do: choosing quality ingredients, cooking seasonally, and always—always—spreading the love.

GET THE BOOK: French At Heart is available wherever books are sold! Find it at your favorite bookstore or online.

Originally from Phoenix, Arizona, we’ve been teaching French cooking techniques and sharing our love of French food and wine culture since 2008.
