About this audiobook

This is the story of how one expat woman left her beloved behind when she moved to France—her beloved kale, that is. Unable to find le chou kale anywhere upon moving to the City of Light with her new husband, and despite not really speaking French, Kristen Beddard launched a crusade to single-handedly bring kale to the country of croissants and cheese. Infused with Kristen's recipes and some from French chefs, big and small (including Michelin star chef Alain Passard) Bonjour Kale is a humorous, heartfelt memoir of how Kristen, kale, and France collide.

About the author

Kristen Beddard is the American founder of The Kale Project, a successful initiative to reintroduce kale to France. Through her work with local French farmers, le chou kale can now be found at various outdoor markets and supermarkets. She is the author of the French gardening and cookbook Savez-vous manger les choux.

Angela Dawe is originally from Lansing, Michigan, and currently calls Chicago home. In addition to audiobook narration, she has worked in film, television, theater, and improvisational comedy.
