The P tissier or Making Homemade Wine

The Pвtissier: Recipes and Conversations from Alsace, France

Author: Hossine Bennara

Author Susan Lundquist and photographer, Frederic Lacroix, were in search of the authentic European life after spending a few years in Silicon Valley- and they ran right into it. Just days after moving into their new apartment in the heart of the aptly named Petite France, the oldest and most beautiful neighborhood in the city of Strasbourg in Alsace, they came face to face with a two week garbage strike in a town full of restaurants, a furnished apartment that included creepy critters, and a 90 year old land lord who was proud of his WWII plumbing. They were in over their heads until their neighbor invited the couple over for dinner and gave them advice on everything including local recipes, thus creating a beautiful friendship centered around French cuisine. After this life-changing meeting, the concept of The Pвtissier: Recipes and Conversations from Alsace, France developed naturally - a collection of stories, humor, and meals reflecting Ben's life and family recipes.

Together, Ben and Susan have compiled the ultimate combo in The Pвtissier- good food and good company!
