Sunday Lunch in the French Countryside

with Susan Herrmann Loomis

Susan Herrmann Loomis, journalist, professionally trained chef, and cooking school proprietor, is the author of seven cookbooks including The Great American Seafood Cookbook, Farmhouse Cookbook, Clambakes and Fish Fries, French Farmhouse Cookbook, Italian Farmhouse Cookbook, On Rue Tatin, and her latest book, Cooking at Home on Rue Tatin.

Susan invites the busy home cook to relax, unwind, and enjoy the tastes, textures, and aromas of simple yet often sophisticated French fare. Her food, along with her warm hospitality, puts people at ease and makes them feel as if they are honored guests or members of her own family.

Susan, who has lived in France for more than ten years, operates On Rue Tatin, a cultural and culinary cooking program, from her 15th century home in Louviers, France, where she lives with her family.
