It's here!!!! My dear friend, Francois de Melogue has finished his cookbook!!!!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/aoppdx/cuisine-of-the-sun-cookbook

" Cuisine of the Sun"

features simplistic, delicious cooking techniques and Provencal recipes.

Please visit the kick starter page and see his video clip. He did everything himself....now in the final phase. Pledge your support and get a first edition, signed copy.

Oh, I must add....he is a HUGE Bernie Sanders Supporter. Francois trained at the New England Culinary Institute in Vermont where now my Brett attends. Francois has been pivotal in guiding Brett as he has also done for Beau MacMillian who is featured in the video clip.

I was in Provence and love the cooking. The kickstarter page is beautifully done and I look forward to "Cuisine of the Sun." Thanks for the post.

Back in the day when Food & Wine was a good read, this chef was a major reason.

I just figured, why not support the first edition (which I hope gets support, as I linked to Facebook) for an upcoming opportunity to give a great gift while getting an electronic version for me? Maybe I'll be stingy and keep both!

I sure hope people support this guy's work.

Here's to you and Francois !
