"""Ingenious, delightfully presented recipes that give a healthy take on French cuisine...The book's sumptuous color photos of food and French towns and landscapes are a visual feast, and the prose is equally evocative""- Kirkus Reviews ""Ingenious, delightfully presented recipes that give a healthy take on French cuisine...The book's sumptuous color photos of food and French towns and landscapes are a visual feast, and the prose is equally evocative""- Kirkus Reviews ""The Most Delicious Book! This is a real love story. the author has taken her love of France, it's women and her passion for creating spectacular, yet somehow healthy recipes and married them together. Filled with gorgeous photos, stories, and recipes. I read it from cover to cover in one sitting! Great book for the foodie, armchair traveler, expert or the novice cook! I highly recommend it!"" "" This Book Has It All: Fascinating Stories, Gorgeous Photos of France, Healthy Food As a traveler, my favorite part of the book was the beautiful photos of France. They made me long to experience the places on their route for myself. As a reader, my favorite part was the really interesting stories about people. I'm jealous of one of the authors who was able to live in France for some time as a child. What an incredible experience, and what an awesome way to learn French! I also enjoyed the stories of the women who built the champagne industry even though I've never developed a taste for wine. And I haven't even gotten to the food yet. Definitely a book for foodies, as well."""

Author Information

"Cathy Connally's culinary career had an inauspicious start at nine years old, with the renovation of her mother's kitchen involving the Yellow Springs, Ohio fire department. Later, to the horror of a high school teacher in St. Peter, Minnesota, she would win a Betty Crocker Award, only because she was good at math. This vote of confidence would propel her into internal audit in the global mining sector and eventually to a career as an entrepreneur in technology. Eating countless takeout meals while driving hours to put out project ""fires,"" was leading to a slow train wreck on the health front. She recalled a lesson she had learned at five years old about food as medicine. This led to the birth of ""Flavour with Benefits,"" the pursuit of flavour that doesn't compromise on health. Cathy also loves adding a side dish of travel to her life, which has included sixty countries. Relaxation involves cooking and baking and spending time with family. Charley Best decided after decades relaxing as an entrepreneur, he would like to use his weekends and meditation time and add author to his list of hobbies. His co-author, Cathy Connally, has given him a lot to chew on and now he is not only a believer in the positive effects of the Flavour with Benefits approach to nutrition and the enjoyment of delicious food, but he's also developed a stand-up comedy routine about the benefits. He loves hummingbirds and spends many hopeful hours with a camera by a window, willing the snow to melt, pining for the birds to return. He prefers the dainty female birds; the males can be annoyingly territorial and narcissistic."
