A Spoonful of Sun: Mediterranean Cookbook for All Seasons, published by Gestalten, feeds taste buds, visual sense, and joy of life. French chef Pauline Chardin presents recipes that are delicious, healthy, and easy – and above all, pleasing to the eye! The recipes are well suited to Mediterranean cuisine, but also feature flavors from Chardin's travels around the world. The book also gives a glimpse into Chardin's beautiful Provençal home, which she designed herself.

In this book, cook Pauline Chardin shares her delicious, healthy, and—best of all—easy recipes. Using seasonal fruit and veg from her local market and her garden, Chardin’s cuisine is rooted in the Mediterranean, yet flavored by her travels around the world. This is more than just a cookbook. With a keen sense for design, Chardin knows that the eye takes the first bite.

A Spoonful of Sun lavishes us with esthetic pleasures too, taking us around the house Chardin designed for herself, into the irresistible surrounds of her Provençal home, and back to what matters most: the food on the table.
