Life Around the Table - Charmaine Dupré Thibodeaux

After decades spent perfecting the art of earnest and creative hospitality, Charmaine Dupré now shares some of the most significant food moments along her journey, along with accompanying recipes. From afternoons spent learning to prepare a demi glace with Chef Claude Aubert in New Orleans, to teaching Cajun men to whip up a sweet potato and andouille bisque in her Acadiana kitchen, to enjoying decadent bites of orange genoise with Chantilly cream on Lake Annecy-Dupré's life has been filled with beautiful tastes, travels, friendships, and memories. In this culinary memoir, she takes these moments and weaves them through meditations on the ways hospitality and gathering can be offered as a service to others, to greater glorify Jesus Christ.
