It’s Official! Tarte Tatin Tales, the book, has launched!
Dear Readers,
Given all the support you’ve offered me over the last two years as this book “gestated,” it’s only fitting that you be the first to know about its official publication. It’s now available as a pre-order on Amazon.com under the title, Tarte Tatin Tales. Click here to order your copy!
What began as a simple project, became a behemoth. With the help of Deri Reed, my trusted editor who was hired mid-way through the process, the beast was tamed. Writing this was an act of love, determination, and pure folly. However, as the secondary title reads, this “Recollections and Recipes for Living the Good Life” is something I’ve always wanted to share with my family and friends and of course, my blog followers.
If you do purchase a copy, a sincere thank you in advance! I hope you’ll enjoy the book which contains my favorites essays and most delicious recipes showcased over the years on this blog site. And, if you like what you’ve read, please do consider leaving a review on-line at Amazon, or on your own social media outlets to encourage others to pick up the book.
Here is the information we used to promote Tarte Tatin Tales, the book, which you may find of interest.
Summary
Part memoir and part cookbook, Marsha Palanci’s collection of valuable life lessons and treasured personal recipes is spun from her memories as an American raised in France and Belgium and educated in Ohio, along with her reflections of four decades of travel and career as a wine marketer in New York City.
Description
What do one hat and five elephants, a garden in the sky, and a mother's recipe box all have in common? They are all delightfully wise and witty chapters in blogger Marsha Palanci's book, Tarte Tatin Tales. Topics as diverse as surviving a first job, enjoying summer in the city, and sustaining lifelong friendships are explored with candor and enthusiasm. As she does in her blog (tartetatintales.com), Marsha's own experiences are amplified with additional insights and opinions from a carefully curated group of friends. The crowd-sourced perspective gives the reader entertaining storytelling and much food for thought.
Tarte Tatin Tales is also a cookbook that will inspire cooks of all levels. Filled with family favorites and an assortment of international recipes, it reflects Marsha's childhood in Europe, extensive travel in her adult years, and her careers promoting cheese and then wine. Although Marsha studied at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris and with other experts in French and Italian cuisine, she prides herself on making dishes that appear more complex than they really are. Her fifty fully tested recipes range from Fresh Pea Gazpacho, to Belgian Waterzooi, to—of course—Tarte Tatin, and are easily made by anyone who loves to cook—and eat!
