Love the cosmos, zinnias and marigolds! My grandfather always surrounded his vegetable garden with a border of these.

[@josettedarphin1882]

merci pour cette vidéo à bientôt💗💗💗

[@siobhanintas899]

Thanks Marloes for another lovely video - looking forward to your cook book! 😊

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Thank you!

[@davidmiller-br4bu]

Those winter veggies look yummy 😋...the book will be fine, have a glass or two of wine this weekend and chill with your family 🙂

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Merci 😊

[@bethconant6482]

GF u made me smile when talking about using American measurements. Im 66 and will never get to Europe, but my husband was an army brat and grew up in Italy. So when u talk in grams, I turn to him. Keep making your wonderful videos. I get to see France thru eyes!

[@FrenchCountryLife]

😂 I guess it’s just what we’re used to!

[@soniahofmann4969]

How was sweet potato bread I see you did a taste test😊

[@FrenchCountryLife]

It was really good!

[@RoSario-vb8ge]

Downshiftology has quite a few nice sweet potato recipes on KZbin

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Thanks for sharing!

[@monicaschonteich2514]

Hello, do you feel safe in that part of France? I live in the USA but I am not American, and I do not think I will stay here for ever. I lived in Europe many many years ago, then it was pretty safe. Now you hear about violence (anywhere, everywhere really) but Europe is so small compared to the USA or Australia…..that it may be hard to actually get away from violence or it may come your way…. Do you worry about those things?

[@FrenchCountryLife]

I do but I think it is very personal…

[@CraigMatt-p1c]

You know I'm American & I know what you're talking about but the gun violence in our country is like no other and it only seems to get worse. You can certainly live out in the countryside of France and keep a rifle or some kind of protection, I don't think most parts of Europe are as dangerous as many parts of the States. Just my opinion.

[@Erohsab]

So I'm a vegetarian who isn't fond of veggies but they always look so delicious when you cook them; I'm looking forward to getting my hands on a copy of your book! I also have to say that I love your videos. You have a great aesthetic and I appreciate your mellow and calm approach. Thank you!

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Thank you!

[@cathtube59]

Such a lovely video! I love watching people cook, so feel free to do more of that! The sweet potato sage bread and the coffee cake look delicious. I just might have to give them a try. I am so anxious to get your cookbook! The photos of the recipes in this video are things I will definitely like preparing and eating. I think a book signing party is a wonderful idea! You’ve worked so hard on this project. A celebration at the end is the right thing to do! I wish I could travel to Beaune to celebrate with you, but that is just not in the cards right now. But I am saving my pennies so I can come stay in the Cook’s Cottage one of these summer seasons!

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Thank you for your enthusiasm and support! ❤️

[@katybuilds]

Hi I'm not far from you...i'm building a cabin in the Morvan also in Burgundy...and I also know the owner if the brocante in Autun that's cool! They have nice things there. Your house looks beautiful ❤

[@rosesmith-lunau5855]

Wow it was great starting at video number 1 and now caught up! Now will have to wait for each next one. Being in Canada if we order the exchange is presently .37 cents more on the dollar but I still look forward to ordering

[@Lisa-sp5if]

I’m sure I am late to the party, but oh my goodness your kitchen… Swoon! Could you please tell me if your countertops and sink are concrete? They are exquisite.❤

[@FrenchCountryLife]

No the countertops are pierre de Bourgogne, limestone from our local quarry. I LOVE them!

[@HomesteadInFrance]

Cooking when the leaves are falling and the smell of a nice stew or veggie soup is so nice. Warm cozy home and enjoying diner with the family. Looking forward to the book. When there is a time and place for the book presentation will you let us know? Maybe we are in the neighbourhood :)

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Thank you so much! I am planning the party in Beaune, end of November. Hope that it’ll all work out, waiting for some final bits and pieces to be confirmed. Will definitely share the details as soon as I have them. Would love to meet you!

[@ukaly1]

Our zinnias and cosmos are blooming the same right now in central Illinois.

[@yvonnebirch6026]

Love your food and I love to see you cook Marloes. Thank you for another beautiful video ! 🙏💕🌷

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Thank you!

[@bibianesproule6585]

Thank you for sharing Marloes, lovely recipes too! Regarding your flowers - the cosmos and the calendula will re-seed so if you don't pull them all out they will grow back again next year. Ours do this every year and they'll be ready to go in the spring. Dahlias and zinnias are different and need to be started again in the spring! Hope this helps! (: Happy Autumn!

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Thanks for sharing that! I know that is how it should work but when I had sown them in the first year and left them over the winter nothing grew back the next spring… so I have decided to sow them each year.

[@cindiblazer8621]

Love your videos

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Thank you!

[@baydreamer01]

I like to add cubed sweet potatoes to some of my soups. In fact, I have a pot of soup on right now that includes them. I also like to roast them whole with the peel in the oven for a side dish (baked sweet potato).

[@kathyeyesopen4078]

One of my favorite side dishes.

[@np8173]

You have Lee Harris's music playing in the background while you're cooking - he is such a lovely soul. I look forward to your cookbook when it comes out!

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Yes I love his work!

[@williamclarke2020]

Bonjpour et/en Hallo from Canada, Marloes! I've been trying to get info on the availability of your recipe book in Canada. Do you have any info? Any of your YT subscribers? If not, I will pick up one in person when I get a rental motorcycle in Besancon next year. Congratulations on your forthcoming book launch... Oh la la ! Tres chich! Ha ha . I wish you and your family abundant blessings and success. A bien tot.

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Hi! It is not out and available yet! I’m waiting for the proof copy to come in next week! 🤞🏻

[@aidedeco]

Congratulations on your cook book. Lovely flowers. TFS

[@FrenchCountryLife]

[@claudiamann7111]

Great baking. Thanks so much for the recipes. All your baked goods look yummy. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Thank you!

[@carollloydjones1313]

Highlight of the week!💕 Love it!

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Thank you!

[@mikegeorge4538]

We are looking forward to ordering your beautiful cookbook. Will the measurements be in metric or "English"?

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Thanks! It will be in grams and milliliters.

[@asasvantesson3795]

That whas lovely! And I'm looking forward to buy, read and use your book😊❤

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Thank you!

[@sallieschuetz1796]

My zinnias did the same thing. We had a drought and extremely warm weather this summer when they would normally bloom……..oh well better late than never!

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Exactly!

[@irenetovar7756]

I would love a copy of your book. You have such a lovely home, and your garden is adorable. By thecway, your flowers are fashionably late.🤭

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Thanks! Yes it’s incredible to see how late they bloomed! But they are gorgeous now 😍

[@carriecastilla6258]

I’m so excited to get a copy of your cookbook thanks again for sharing.

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Thanks for your support!

[@melindaferreira9879]

So good. Beautiful flowers and bread! I need to cook some sweet potatoes.

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Haha!

[@lafarmhouse]

such a lovely video.

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Thank you!

[@koosslootweg8500]

Do you have a good recipe for a real French baguette? Would be great!

[@FrenchCountryLife]

I have this one but it’s a simplified one. The dough isn’t fermented very long like you would with a traditional baguette but this recipe is super easy and they are delicious! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWG8dZR4mK-inqMsi=zL_azwWOz2yyAwRD

[@ruthwelterlen9776]

I can not wait for your book ❤hopefully it is available soon. ❤

[@FrenchCountryLife]

I hope so too!!

[@KiwiBabz]

As always, a feast for the eyes. ❤

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Thank you!

[@malikbarry7542]

Hoping that your book party occurs before I leave for the United States being that I’m so close to Beaune. I’m so proud of you and your achievements

[@SamFournier]

So exciting that your book is almost here and so glad you’re celebrating this huge achievement❤ Really glad fall has arrived so we can enjoy warm hearty meals!

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Thank you!

[@meryj1767]

Hello, could you give me the bread recipe, your channel is very nice and relaxing, greetings from Argentina

[@helenstella2666]

Lovely tasty recipes Marloes 😋 Such a pretty garden 😊 I still have cosmos & dahlias growing & more buds yet to flower too! So I’m enjoying them for as long as possible & like you collecting cosmos seeds for next year ☺️

[@FrenchCountryLife]

It’s incredible isn’t it?!

[@paivitiitta1884]

Goodness me how beautiful book it will be ! ❤

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Thank you!

[@GabrielleRog]

I am planning to move to the Mediterranean soon and your videos have been such an inspiration to me. They are my go-to to watch. You have a gift of creating such serene, mindful videos, always leaving me feeling incredibly relaxed. Thank you so much!

[@FrenchCountryLife]

What an exciting plan! All the best to you!

[@denisecarter5117]

The bright orange cup shaped flower is poppy.

[@theresechenoweth2321]

I agree with you about the American recipes. They will ask for 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons for instance! Why not just weigh it?

[@FrenchCountryLife]

To each their own! It’s just what we’re used to in our country and it is not too difficult to convert fortunately!

[@lynsmith1881]

Hello Marloes…Loving your cooking videos 😋Can you please tell me the name of the Beaune bakery, so when we return to Dijon l can enjoy this delightful Shop. l am from Melbourne Australia which has a Coffee shop around every corner. With thanks 😋

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Thanks! I think you mean Boulangerie Marie Boucherot!

[@jennydemke7692]

The cosmos in South Africa grows in the wild especially in the drakensberg area. They also bloom late in autumn and are a magnificent show. I always say depending on the majority of the colours whether it will be a very cold winter or not ~ more white means snow.

[@FrenchCountryLife]

I really? That is so interesting to know! Thanks for sharing that!

[@ritaamor283]

Can’t wait for your book ❤

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Proof copy is coming in next week! 🤞🏻

[@rj.vir.singh.]

Heyy, an amazing video .I was wondering that you might don't have a lot of free time and I want to help you with that I'm a video editor and I want to ask you if you need any video editing for your videos. Let me know to have my portfolio or your edited sample video. Cheers, Rajvir Singh

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Thanks for the offer. I actually really enjoy editing!

[@sushmitamazumdar8886]

Your vlogs inspire me to bake more,,and pursue my creativity more and more,,😊

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Happy to hear this!

[@tiamariabednar7715]

Would you send the link for the coffee cake please? Thank you!!

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Honestly I don't remember where I found the recipe. But it was online and it was called "coffee cake"...

[@jayalekshmi9269]

Best wishes for your book launching sweet potatoes can be boiled and can be turned into flour after sliceing and sundrying from india with love😂😂😂😂😂

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Thank you! I have tried boiling them but like with butternut squash I think they loose a lot of their taste when boiled? I prefer roasting them.

[@joanacasanovafilms]

beautiful video, I subscribed :)

Thanks! Welcome to the channel!

Wehebben bij ons huis in de Provence Kokardes in de tuin, een stek bij vrienden in de Morvan doen het ook goed, als je steeds de uitgebloeide bloemen afknipt heb je van begin juni tot eind oct bloeiende gele bloemen met rood hart

[@FrenchCountryLife]

O daar heb ik geloof ik nog nooit van gehoord! Dank voor de tip.

[@jennifercambridge6837]

May I ask what brand your milk frother is please? TIA

[@FrenchCountryLife]

I have several; one by the Nespresso brand for our cabin, one from Lidl’s brand Silvercrest and the one in the video is from the Dutch store HEMA.

[@jennifercambridge6837]

It might be helpful to film cooking from the top

[@ritaamor283]

I actually prefer it this way, it’s more cosy...when cooks film from top always reminds me of tik toks and upersonal videos...😅

[@ritaamor283]

*unpersonal

[@FrenchCountryLife]

I’d love to but don’t have the hardware for it. I’m looking forward to having my new kitchen with an island so I can shoot from a different angle.

[@larainelamb6951]

Is your channel turning into a cooking channel? I think watching someone dump in ingredients and stir is rather boring.

[@FrenchCountryLife]

@@larainelamb6951I just document my life as always. You don’t have to watch my videos 😊

[@ernstvanraamsdonk7801]

Hoi ,Hoe heet die melkschuimer?

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Ik heb verschillende, deze is volgens mij nog van de Hema!

[@carolmartin4413]

Love watching you make new recipes especially if they're healthy. We cook sweet potatoes and yams as side dishes all winter long..again healthy. More often we grate zucchini for breads/muffins. I truly envy the French devotion to brewing coffee. I use pods...lazy but works. Looking forward to getting your cookbook! Enjoy fall...we are in Wisconsin! 😊

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Thank you!

[@mollydumas759]

It's normal,cosmos, dahlias and zinnias grow until october,november.🪴🪴

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Ok, and do they always start blooming late then? So there’s nothing I should change when sowing them again next spring?

[@mollydumas759]

That's right. I sowed my dahlias in may and my cosmos in june I think and my marigolds in Spring which are also still flowering. See you in your next video.🪴🙋
