SUMMARY:Cassoulet Confessions
DESCRIPTION:Register here! \nThursday |November 9 |2 – 3 pm PT|Free |In English |Online \nFree for AFdeLA Members \nJoin us as we talk with Sylvie Bigar\, author of the best-selling memoir\, Cassoulet Confessions. \nCassoulet Confessions is an enthralling memoir by award-winning food and travel writer Sylvie Bigar that reveals how a simple journalistic assignment sparked a culinary obsession and transcended into a quest for identity. Set in the stunning southern French countryside\, this honest and poignant memoir conveys hunger for authentic food and a universal hunger for home. In Cassoulet Confessions\, Sylvie travels across the Atlantic from her home in New York to the origin of cassoulet – the Occitanie region of Southern France. There she immerses herself in all things cassoulet: the quintessential historic meat and bean stew. From her first spoonful\, she is transported back to her dramatic childhood in Geneva\, Switzerland\, and finds herself journeying through an unexpected rabbit hole of memories. Not only does she discover the deeper meanings of her ancestral French cuisine\, but she is ultimately transformed by having to face her unsettling\, complex family history. Sylvie’s simple but poetic prose immerses us in her story: we smell the simmering aromas of French kitchens\, empathize with her family dilemmas\, and experience her internal struggle to understand and ultimately accept herself. \nAward-winning food and travel writer Sylvie Bigar was born in Geneva\, Switzerland\, and lives in New York City. Her writing has appeared widely\, including in The New York Times\, Washington Post\, Food & Wine\, Forbes.com\, Saveur\, Bon Appetit\, Edible\, Departures\, Travel & Leisure\, and National Geographic Traveler. In French\, Sylvie has contributed to Le Figaro\, Histoire Magazine\, Le Temps\, and FrenchMorning.com.

SUMMARY:Organic French Wines
DESCRIPTION:Register here!  \nTuesday | October 3 |10 – 11 am PT| Free | In English | Online \nFree for AFdeLA Members \nJoin us as we welcome Pierre Gastaldello\, French Portfolio Manager of T. Edward Wines in New York\, who will be speaking to us about organic French wines. \nA Bobo wine is a natural wine. Bobo Selection wines are organically or biodynamically farmed\, harvested by hand\, fermented with only indigenous yeasts\, made with nothing added or taken away in the cellar\, and with only the smallest amount (from zero to 40 ppm) of additional sulfites before bottling to ensure a clean\, precise taste.  Launched in 2017 as a distinct branch of the larger T. Edward portfolio\, Bobo Selections was born out of our desire to embrace a larger cause. Beyond the palate\, the wines speak to a sustainable worldview. They fit into a life of transparent\, intentional\, soulful practices and consumption that the farmers embody and that complements T Edward Wines’ own identity. \nFor more information\, visit:\nwww.boboselections.com\nwww.tedwardwines.com

He has appeared on American television and has written for The New York Times\, Food & Wine magazine\,  and other publications. He has authored more than 30 cookbooks\, some of which have become best sellers. Pépin’s 1999 PBS series with his longtime friend chef Julia Child\, Julia and Jacques Cooking at Home\, won a Daytime Emmy Award. He also holds a BA and a MA from Colombia University in French literature. \nHe has been honored with 24 James Beard Foundation Awards\, five honorary doctoral degrees\, the American Public Television’s lifetime achievement award\, the Emmy Award for Lifetime Achievement in 2019\, and the Légion d’honneur\, France’s highest order of merit. \nIn 2016\, with his daughter\, Claudine Pépin and his son-in-law\, Rollie Wesen\, Pépin created the Jacques Pépin Foundation to support culinary education for adults “who have been disenfranchised by life\,” with barriers to employment. He has lived in Connecticut since 1975. \nJoin the Federation AF USA to learn about chef’s exceptional career and his philosophy on cooking\, dining\, and entertaining.

SUMMARY:Nelly Alard discusses her new novel\, The Life You Had Imagined
DESCRIPTION:Register here! \nThursday\, June 8\, 2023 | 1pm PST | In English\nFederation of Alliances Françaises USA\n \nActress and bestselling author Nelly Alard speaks with Florence Klein about her new novel\, The Life You Had Imagined: From Imperial Vienna to Hollywood\, the mystery of Empress Elisabeth of Austria’s secret daughter. \nThe Life You Had Imagined is the autobiographical account of a life-long search of truth about Empress Elisabeth of Austria’s hidden child. At once a singular coming-of-age novel and a gripping historical mystery book\, by award-winning French author Nelly Alard. \nEver since childhood\, Nelly Alard has had two passions: Empress Elisabeth of Austria -the legendary Sisi- and Hollywood movie stars. When she discovers the story of Elissa Landi\, a 1930s film star whose mother\, Countess Karoline Zanardi Lands\, claimed to be the empress’s secret child\, born during a hunting trip in France in 1882\, Alard decides she needs to know more. After years of thorough research\, she manages to find Elissa Landi’s daughter\, who tells her she believes her grandmother’s tale and hands Alard the keys to a behemoth of a family archive\, within which lies -or so Aland hopes\, along with the reader- the definitive proof that Karoline was telling the truth. \nBefore becoming a writer\, Nelly Alard was trained as an actress. She has acted in France in numerous plays and TV movies\, and in two American films by Henry Jaglom\, Eating and Venice/Venice. Her first novel\, Le crieur de nuit\, published in 2010 by Gallimard\, was awarded the Roger Nimier Prize and the Lions National Prize of Literature. It was followed in 2013 by Moment d’un Couple\, which won the prestigious Interallié Prize and became a bestseller\, translated into several languages. Alard\, who lives in Paris\, is also a screenwriter and works regularly for French television. \nFlorence Klein is co-Founder\, CEO and host of Startup Vision TV. \nFor a great representation of Sisi\, brilliantly played by Vicky Krieps\, watch the 2022 film Corsage.  \nThis event will be in English and is on Zoom and free for all Alliance Française members\, AATF members\, and invited guests of the presenter or publicist. Non-members or persons who have no AF chapter nearby can purchase tickets ($10).

SUMMARY:Cubism and the Trompe L’Oeil with Elizabeth Cowling and Beth Gersh-Nesic
DESCRIPTION:Register here! \n\n\n\n\n\nThursday\, May 25\, 2023 | 11am PT | In English\nFederation of Alliances Françaises USA\nIn English \nPlease join us for a conversation with co-curator of  Cubism and the Trompe L’Oeil Tradition\, and one of the world’s leading experts on Picasso\, Elizabeth Cowling\, Professor Emerita\, Edinburgh University\, and art historian Beth S. Gersh-Nesic\, whose translations of André Salmon’s art criticism touch on this aspect of Picasso’s work.  They will discuss how this exhibition came about\, from concept to installation\, and the various themes presented in the exhibition which help us understand the relationship between Cubism and trompe l’oeil still life paintings and decoration. They will also discuss how this exhibition relates to Dr. Cowling’s extensive body of work on Picasso. \nElizabeth Cowling is Professor Emerita in the History of Art and Honorary Fellow at the University of Edinburgh. She has published widely on European Modernism and specialised in the work of Picasso. Publications include Picasso: Style and Meaning (2002)\, Visiting Picasso: The Notebooks and Letters of Roland Penrose (2006)\, and Picasso Portraits (2016).  She has co-curated major exhibitions\, including Dada and Surrealism Reviewed (ACGB\, 1978)\, On Classic Ground: Picasso\, Léger\, De Chirico and the New Classicism\, 1910-1930 (Tate\, 1990)\, Picasso: Sculptor/Painter (Tate\, 1994)\, Matisse Picasso (Tate; Grand Palais\, Paris; MOMA\, New York\, 2002-3)\, and Picasso Looks at Degas (Clark Art Institute\, Williamstown; Museum Picasso\, Barcelona\, 2010-11).  Cubism and the Trompe l’Oeil Tradition\, which she curated with Emily Braun\, ran at the Metropolitan Museum\, New York\, between October 2022 and January 2023. \nDr. Gersh-Nesic specializes in the history of Cubism and the Cubist critics\, most notably the poet/critic André Salmon who published the first history of Cubism in his book La Jeune Peinture française (1912). This exhibition illustrates his chapter on collage in La Jeune Sculpture française (written in 1914 and published in 1919\, after World War I).  Dr. Gersh-Nesic translated both books\, published together in André Salmon on French Modern Art (Cambridge University Press\, 2005).  A revised translation of La Jeune Peinture française is now available in Pablo Picasso\, André Salmon and “Young French Painting” (Za Mir Press\, 2022)\, which  features an introduction by renowned Salmon expert Dr. Jacqueline Gojard\,  Professor Emeritus of Literature\, University of Paris III (Sorbonne Nouvelle)\, and her numerous additions to Dr. Gersh-Nesic’s original annotations.  Their previous collaboration focusses on the relationship between Picasso and Salmon: Pablo Picasso and André Salmon: The Painter\, the Poet\, and the Portraits(Za Mir Press\, 2019). \nThis event will be in English and is on Zoom and free for all Alliance Française members\, AATF members\, and invited guests of the presenters or publicist. Non-members or persons who have no AF chapter nearby can purchase tickets ($10). ]
