It doesn’t look like much, this modest grave in a Vaucluse cemetery with its few, very simple bouquets. The crowd is sparse at the funeral of Andrée Imbert—1907–1999. Yet, among the chrysanthemums, a large wreath stands out: “With all the affection and gratitude of the Kennedy family .” How did the deceased, an orphan raised in Marseille’s public welfare system, come to serve this illustrious family? Presidents, senators, ministers: they all savored the cooking of this woman with an incredible destiny, who filled America with the scent of thyme and savory... And who, from behind the stove, witnessed a significant chapter of history...

Elle ne paye pas de mine, cette modeste tombe d'un cimetière du Vaucluse avec ses quelques bouquets, très simples. L'assemblée est clairsemée pour l'enterrement d'Andrée Imbert - 1907-1999.

Comment la défunte, orpheline de l'assistance publique de Marseille, s'est-elle retrouvée à servir cette illustre famille ? Présidents, sénateurs, ministres : ils ont tous goûté à la cuisine de cette femme au destin incroyable, qui embauma l'Amérique de thym et de sarriette... Et fut témoin, côté fourneaux, d'une considérable portion d'Histoire...

FAQ

Here are the answers to the most common questions I get asked, please review them and reach out to me if you need more info on something, I love to help you pick the right book, just for you!

Are the books New?

Yes, all the books that I sell during my bookfairs or online on my e-boutique are brand new.. You will be the very first to flip all the pages and enjoy the feeling of holding your own book in your hand.

What defines the prices of the books?

As a passionate small business owner, my goal is to offer a high level of quality imported from France at the best price. I understand that some people may be surprised by the difference of price between French and American books. In France, books are more expensive as authors and illustrators get larger copyright compensations. Also, imports cost quite a bit if you take into account the price of transport as well as the weight of what is being transported. I appreciate your constant support, when you choose sustainable small businesses over large corporations.

Do you have a shop?

My main way of meeting you is book fairs, festivals and private sales. Ordering online through my e-boutique is the best way to support French Authors and Small Minority Owned business like mine. I also have a physical location present in Orange County accessible via appointment only. Please contact me through text to get more information!
