See all formats and editions

More than a cookbook, this is a comprehensive cultural and culinary journey into the world of traditional French cuisine and French wine (adapted for paleo enthusiasts), and tips for ancestral living. Author Tania Teschke, food and wine gourmet, photographer, and lifelong student of French culture, brings you over 160 sumptuous and easy-to-follow recipes for seasonal and traditional French dishes that deliver not only the nutrition, but also the satisfaction we have been missing in our modern diet. Tania takes you on a French culinary journey to reclaim your primal connections to food and health and to each other through personal stories, striking photography and colorful tutorials.

From classics like rich Beef Burgundy and succulent slow-cooked leg of lamb, to modern takes on nutrient-dense organ meats, the recipes from The Bordeaux Kitchen will bring the timeless wisdom of past generations to your cooking and meal planning. You’ll experience the beautiful simplicity of authentic French cuisine, gain a practical education about French wine (including wine pairing guidelines for each recipe!), and how to share a French-style meal with family and friends.

The Bordeaux Kitchen chronicles Tania’s journey through wine school in Bordeaux, a butchery apprenticeship, and the gathering of her vast treasure trove of recipes inspired by French chefs, friends and grandmothers. Tania transports you to the culinarily-rich French Southwest and demonstrates how “ancestral,” nutrient-dense, grain-free French recipes are optimal for nourishing your body and mind. Highlighting the latest research in ancestral health , The Bordeaux Kitchen enlightens you about the path to healing many modern-day, chronic maladies caused by nutrient-deficient diets. The Bordeaux Kitchen also serves as a practical guide to using the right kitchen tools for the disappearing arts of filleting a fish, carving a chicken, and rendering fat, and how to gain a thorough understanding of the various cuts of meat.

The beautiful illustrations and rich descriptive text will make you an expert in French wine and cuisine in no time—and keep you aligned with the primal/paleo/ancestral health principles that have exploded in popularity across the globe in recent years. Every home cook who loves food and sharing it with family and friends will be inspired by The Bordeaux Kitchen.

Review

"The Bordeaux Kitchen cookbook ranges throughoutFrance, far wider than its title implies. The book includes recipes but alsotravels throughout France, discussing the principles and techniques of cookerythat lie behind the gastronomy of the various regions. This is traditional foodwith a modern approach that includes new ingredients such as coconut and cassavaflours. I much enjoyed the generous page layouts and many illustrations thatinvite the reader to explore."

About the Author

Tania Teschke is a writer and photographer with a passion for French cuisine and wine. American-born and globe-traveled, Tania lived for an extended period in France four separate times, for undergraduate and graduate studies, and immersions into French language and literature, and traditional French cooking from French chefs and friends. She apprenticed with an award-winning Basque butcher, and earned a diploma in wine science from the University of Bordeaux. Inspired by her French experiences, Tania began recording recipes and stories as a creative outlet and for the enjoyment and edification of her daughters. Over several years, this knowledge and experience evolved into a comprehensive masterwork of recipes, French culture and healthy living that she titled, The Bordeaux Kitchen.

Tania's travel photography has been exhibited in Paris, Tokyo, and Moscow and has appeared in The New York Times and other international publications. She interned with legendary National Geographic photographer Steve McCurry in New York. She has previously worked with children’s book publisher Scholastic and in conservation with World Wildlife Fund in Washington, DC and Frankfurt.

Tania’s passion for health and nutrition was sparked by her experience with a ruptured appendix while working in Kazakhstan in her 20s. Her life-threatening illness resulted in numerous complications and health challenges that were poorly addressed by traditional medicine, inspiring her to look for answers through dietary modification and healthy exercise and lifestyle practices.

Tania earned a B.A. from Brown University and an M.A. from The Fletcher School at Tufts University. Tania speaks French, German and Russian. Still a global nomad with her diplomat husband and two daughters, Tania currently lives in Switzerland and enjoys hiking in the Alps with her family and cooking them nutrient-dense meals.

I have been a long time fan of Tania Tescheke, first discovering her blog a few years ago. Her combination of artistic photos and recipes drew my eye and had me coming back to discover more. I've followed her on social media and watched this book be put together piece by piece, lovingly through her education on the foundation of food that spanned towns, cities, and even countries. I imagined myself standing in the fields with her, learning along side as she herself explored nutrition at it's core. I already know that what she brings to the page is the love she has put on the table for her own family. What she wants to share with her readers. This is not a cook book of quick meals and busy family dinners, this is the book you pull out when you want to feed your family with love. This is the book you pull out when you feel like you want to OWN your kitchen, and be one with the foundation of food this good earth has to offer. Techeke's understanding of not only food, but wine, and the journey she takes you on through words, recipes and photos is beautiful and inspirational. It's a stunning book on it's own, and as you page through, you're instantly going to feel like your kitchen has been transformed into your studio. The food, your art. I am wildly excited to turn each page, and try my hand at it. Tania Teschke is our modern day Julia Child, you cannot go wrong by welcoming her into your kitchen.

Julia Child would love "The Bordeaux Kitchen" and Tania Teschke!

Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2021

Like Julia Child herself, it's clear that Tanya Teschke--author of "The Bordeaux Kitchen"--is not only a cook, but also an intrepid traveler, adventurer, and student of life. I love this wonderful book, which I've been telling all my friends about, after reading it cover to cover. It took me 6 months to get all the way through it -- it's Biblical in its coverage of the subject -- but each chapter is a discovery and a treasure: something new to savor, learn, or "Oooh and Ahhhh" about on every page. I bought it as a Christmas present for my husband, who loves French cooking and devours good cookbooks. But soon, I nosed my way into it after he kept reading fascinating passages aloud to me from it. Over the course of the past winter, we both wound up reading sections of it aloud to each other. "We HAVE to try THIS," my husband would say, looking at me over the rims of his reading glasses: "She has a recipe for oysters paired with little pork meatballs with shallots!" He would tip the book forward to show me the photo. "Yum," we would both agree -- we have to make this!" This book is full of excellent photography -- it could double as a gorgeous living room coffee table book, if we weren't so intent on moving it constantly between the kitchen (for cooking) and the bedroom (for reading aloud to each other from it at night). Best of all, the author seems to anticipate every question you might ask and supplies helpful tutorials on everything from what kinds of pans work best (and why that is) to why certain recipes call for something to be cooked in one kind of fat (say, butter) rather than olive oil or lard or tallow. She will explain whether, in a given instance, it's just a matter of preference, or whether your selection will affect the results of the dish. This author has lived all over the world, and seems to have learned fabulous cooking secrets in every location, bringing that (sometimes hard-won) wisdom to bear on her recipes, her expertise as a chef, and her family's health. I very much appreciated this author's extensive knowledge of how foods affect our physiology, and how we can adapt recipes to avoid symptom-producing ingredients. She will make you feel confident about adjusting recipes for your own needs, preferences, or allergies, and she will show you that French cooking is not to be feared -- it's fun -- even with children in tow! I can't say enough good things about this book -- as time goes by, I like it even more than the first time I opened it, flipping randomly to a page with a photo of a plum tree, and an essay titled "How My Plum Tree Taught Me to Make Marmalade: An Allegory for Living by the Seasons." The essay made reference to her recipe for "Prune-Stuffed Pork Loin with Bacon," and another one for Orange Duck Breast (with homemade plum preserves). I read her essay and realized, this author is someone who knows how cook French food as expertly as Julia Child -- and she has a philosophy of food and life that honors--as writer-philosopher Joseph Campbell calls it--"the rapture of experience."

A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preparing, and Enjoying French Cuisine

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2018

Verified Purchase

Tania Teschke’s The Bordeaux Kitchen: An Immersion into French Food and Wine, Inspired by Ancestral Traditions is a huge achievement. If you’re interested in really learning about French cuisine, this is the book you want.

The first thing I noticed is that The Bordeaux Kitchen is made the way a book should be made. It’s 650 beautiful, full-color pages with 180 traditional French recipes and marvelous photos taken all over southwestern France by Tania herself. The margins are filled with anecdotes, call-outs, and explanations that add real flavor to the topic at hand.

The Bordeaux Kitchen truly is what its title suggests—an immersion into French food and wine. It explores subjects such as The French Paradox of eating a rich diet while still enjoying great longevity. It weaves ancestral living with good nutrition, food sourcing, and a wide variety of pro tips such as how to keep your knives sharpened.

The Bordeaux Kitchen is also a personal account of Tania and her family’s discovery and enjoyment of all the opportunities for living with intention, tradition, and awareness that their journey has offered them. I believe this book could easily be used as a text in any culinary arts school, while still remaining a tool and an experience that anyone can use and enjoy.

This cookbook has been on my wishlist for a while. Finally, I decided to “buy myself a gift” and go for it. The cookbook arrived yesterday and I am blown away by its beauty. It is packed with so much information and gorgeous pictures of each recipe. I haven’t started reading it yet, because I am waiting for the perfect time to begin. It feels like it is a yummy meal I’m about to eat, and I want to savor each bite. I have a feeling I’m going to be a different person when I’m on the other side of reading this gorgeous book👏

I bought this for a friends birthday present. Well, my wife loves it. So she kept it and had to buy a second one for the friend. And she loves it too. It’s a beautiful book and it’s not just French recipes. It’s conversation with lots of visuals, beautiful photography. Makes me want to move to France and do nothing but eat. Very nice book (and a great gift).

Wonderful book

Reviewed in France on January 9, 2022

Verified Purchase

This is such a wonderful book and a treasure trove of information. Firstly, living in France as a non-Native speaker, it is so unbelievably helpful to have the French translation of the various cuts of beef and meat and types of seafood - I now know what to ask the butcher/fishmonger for!!

The recipes are simply wonderful, not to mention the savoir-faire of how things are harvested and prepared. And with the hints and tips, there’s something new to learn on nearly every page.

Such a beautiful, inspiring, health-giving collection of recipes and insight into the richness of French culture, I am so impressed. I stumbled upon this book by accident, what a find!! And what’s even more brilliant about it is that the recipes are so simple, the story of Tania’s life so accessible, and the way she delivers the recipes so flexible - it is so inspiring and confidence-building, I feel like I can try them all with the information provided.

Thank you Tania for your work and this brilliant, inspiring book. It’s so clear you wrote the book from a place of love, for your family and yourself, and I really appreciate you sharing all of that in this book. I really don’t think I’ve ever read a cook book that I can compare with this one, it’s streets ahead of all my other cook books, with perhaps the exception of Sally Fallon/Weston Price and Natasha Campbell, who also write from places of love. I will treasure your book!

The most informative cookbook you will ever own!

This is THE cook book I have been waiting for! My husband and I have been sugar and grain free (and, thus, all processed foods are banned) for at least 5 years (we are in our 60’s). And most recently are in and out of Ketosis. We have completed several major cycling trips of 6 to 12 weeks in Western Europe within the past 5 years and fell in love with France and its culinary traditions and traditional markets. Tania has presented the paleo/primal/ Locarb-high fat way of eating in a beautiful And informative way! Very interesting to read and the recipes are truly delicious! I have been totally inspired!!!! Cooking has become an adventure in French culture! Unfortunately it’s much too weighty to take along on my upcoming bike trip to France this September, but I will be scanning some of my favourite recipes to try out along the way. Thank you so much, Tania!

What an amazing book, a work of art and as a primal/paleo advocate a great way for me to learn more about French cooking in a way which fits with my approach to eating and living. For those of you who are interested in learning more about the benefits of eating more in line with ancestral traditions, the introductory chapters are easy to digest and will change the way you think about low fat diets, sugar and more. As a regular visitor to France I'm looking forward to learning more about this diverse and varied country from a culinary point of view. Bon appetite...
