French Kitchen Lessons: A Journey Through Food, Farm Life, and Seasons of the Heart

Discover the magic of Normandy through French Kitchen Lessons, a heartfelt celebration of food, farm life, and the beauty of life’s seasons. In 2010, Cat Bude and her husband took a leap of faith, leaving their Seattle life behind to start fresh in the French countryside. Their journey led them to a charming, albeit neglected, farmhouse teeming with wild rabbits—soon to be known as Rabbit Hill Farm.

From restoring the farmhouse to embracing the rhythms of rural living, Cat found inspiration in the joys of country life. Her passion evolved into Rabbit Hill Lifestyle, a beloved blog where she shared stories, recipes, and adventures. As her community grew, Cat opened the doors of Rabbit Hill to visitors, offering unforgettable experiences: vintage shopping tours, market excursions, lavender harvest celebrations, and immersive cooking classes.

French Kitchen Lessons invites you to join Cat’s journey—a story of fresh starts, meaningful connections, and the simple pleasures of food and home. Perfect for lovers of farm-to-table living, seasonal cooking, and the charm of French country life.
