Kumme aastat tagasi ronis newyorklanna Elizabeth Bard Pariisi sudalinnas voluva prantslase kannul keerdtrepist ules ja leidis eest pesakese, kuhu pidama jaada. Kui noorpaarile on sundimas nende esimene laps, pole Elizabethil motteski oma elus veel kord midagi muuta. Ent elul on teised plaanid. Viimase romantilise lobusoidu ajal enne lapse sundi suundub noorpaar Provence’i, kus juhuslik kohtumine viib nad kuulsa luuletaja sojaaegsesse kodumajja. Maja valimuse ja unikaalse mineviku lummuses otsustavad nad linnast maale kolida. Neid voluvad Provence’i sinine taevalaotus, lavendlivaljad ja paikesemaitselised virsikud. Raamatus leidub mitmeid ahvatlevaid retsepte, nagu taidetud rullkorvitsaoied, viigimarjatort ja tuumianimaitseline lavendlimeejaatis. Elutarkuse, huumori ja kulbitaie maasikasorbeti abil tuletab Bard meile meelde, et elu – nii koogis kui ka koogist valjaspool – on kohtumine ootamatustega. Ameerika ajakirjanik Elizabeth Bard elab Prantsusmaal. Bardi esikraamat „Lounasook Pariisis. Horgutav armastuslugu retseptidega”, mis ilmus kirjastuses Varrak 2012. aastal, sai kiiresti rahvusvaheliseks bestelleriks.
