It's possible that I am ever-so-slightly just a tiny bit obsessed with Paris-based chef Rachel Khoo. This is a trailer for her second cookbook, My Little French Kitchen. Ever since I spotted her first cookbook, The Little Paris Kitchen, in a shop window in Ireland last year, I knew I'd have to buy it and also find out more about this chef, who is clearly vintage-quirky adorable and also really good at making the preparation of French food seem quite accessible, even in the tiniest of kitchens.

Then there's Mimi Thorisson, who writes the blog Manger.

She's all glamorous and Gypset, but she lives in the French countryside with a bunch of kids and animals (oh, and her photographer husband). She cooks and eats great food and throws fantastic parties.
Just look at her, making that tarte tatin in those heels! These two women live very different lives, but I'm thinking they both rock the Fairytale lifestyle. I know, I'm sounding all girl-crushy--but these women are just cool! Don't you think so?
**Update: you can now preorder Mimi Thorisson's cookbook A Kitchen in France: A Year of Cooking in My Farmhouse!

i enjoyed both ladies cooking. thanks hausfrau.
I loved these two videos! Yes, very fairytale lifestyle! Totally enjoyed these. They make me want to get in the kitchen immediately and start cooking!
You should see me on a Saturday night, cooking up a schnitzel in my dirndl(that is actually a joke... Although I wouldn't be surprised if it happened one day)! Both women are so incredibly glamorous, haven't heard of the last one but Rachel Khoo is just fabulous, and she can speak French! :D
It's Thanksgiving Day, and our family eats an early dinner instead of lunch. Just now there is a lull between the hectic preparations and all the guests arriving for the meal. I wanted to take some of that time to visit my blogging friends. I needed to say thank you. Thank you for the inspiration you provide here in your place and for the comments you leave behind when you visit mine. Happy Thanksgiving, friend.
You're welcome, Coco.
Sunday, glad you found these videos as inspiring as I did!
Bavarian, nothin' wrong with schnitzel + dirndl! Ha!
Relyn, so nice to hear from you. Thanks!
