RSVP Optional but REQUESTED (to help us plan)! events@wellesleybooksmith or (781) 431-1160 Join Mireille Guiliano, the talented, accomplished and charming former CEO of Veuve Clicquot, for a delicious presentation based on her newest book, the French Women Don't Get Fat Cookbook.  You'll share her secrets on how to enjoy life, on the value of cooking, and on how to eat for pleasure and health.   Members of the Culinary Guild of New England will be serving  divine tastings cooked from a selection of the book's new recipes.  RSVP Required:  events@wellesleybooksmith or (781) 431-1160.  Space is limited. ABOUT THE COOKBOOK Mireille’s personal philosophy centers on eating pleasurably and sensibly;  it is not about “dieting” in the conventional sense. And the French Women Don't Get Fat Cookbook, her very first cookbook, reiterates, expands, and vividly illustrates the principles that guide her eating and allow her to enjoy food and maintain balance and a healthy and consistent weight.  Besides showcasing 150 new recipes, her book also covers  such topics as men, women, and children’s health, and the importance of getting kids started on the right track as early as possible.  Mireille includes the “must haves” for every kitchen, and offers easy-to-follow sample menus for all occasions—from everyday to Valentine’s Day.   By weaving in entertaining stories that reflect her childhood in France, her life in New York, Paris, and Provence, as well as her extensive business travel around the world, she adds a personal and engaging note that many cookbooks lack. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Mireille Guiliano is the author of French Women Don’t Get Fat, French Women for All Seasons, and Women, Work & The Art of Savoir Faire.  She is also the former CEO of Clicquot, Inc. (LVMH) and has appeared on countless national television programs, including Oprah, Dateline, and the Today Show, and has been profiled in a myriad of publications, including the New York Times, Time, and Newsweek.  Born and raised in France, she is married to an American university president and lives most of the year in New York, Paris, and Provence, France.  To learn more about Mireille Guiliano and her work, visit her websites at: www.mireilleguiliano.com and www.frenchwomendontgetfat.com.
