AMERICAN author, based in France, Elizabeth Bard will be guest speaker at a Grand View Hotel Literary Lunch at midday next Wednesday, April 29.
Her first book, Lunch in Paris, a love story with recipes, was an Australian and New York Times bestseller and, now, she brings to Cleveland her book, Picnic in Provence.
In Lunch in Paris, Elizabeth fell in love with a handsome Frenchman and moved to the City of Light.
In this mouth-watering follow-up, the couple and their newborn son bid farewell to Paris for rural life in a tiny village in Provence land of blue skies, lavender fields and peaches that taste like sunshine.
This is the story of how they embarked on a new adventure and became culinary entrepreneurs, starting an artisanal ice cream shop and experimenting with local ingredients like saffron, sheep's milk yoghurt and olive oil.
Picnic in Provence is about everything that happens after the happily ever after, and reminds us that life, in and out of the kitchen, is a rendezvous with the unexpected.
Bookings for the literary lunch are essential and must be pre-paid.
Bookings (members $40 and non-members $45) include a two-course lunch and glass of wine on arrival.
To book, contact 3286 1002 or email to reception@gvh.com.au. For further information, visit www.gvh.com.au
Picnic in Provence will be available for purchase on the day.
