I'm Jill
Scottish-French home cook and author, living and cooking in Paris for 30+ years. In 2010, I wrote one of the first macaron cookbooks published in English.
Today I share reliable French recipes - from family meals and seasonal market cooking to macarons and desserts with less unnecessary sugar and more flavour.
My aim? To help you feel at home with French cooking - and taste France like a local.
