Café Claudine: A French Apéro Digital Guide
Not just a pre-dinner drink — this is your unapologetically French guide to mastering l’apéro.
Created with my daughter, this summer edition of Café Claudine is a personal collection of recipes I grew up eating, adapted to life here in America. No fluff, no fake-French clichés — just real dishes, proper pairings, and everything you need to do apéro right.
Inside, you’ll find:
Timeless recipes like pissaladière, tomato tart with pistou, tapenade, and eggplant caviar
A guide to French cheeses, charcuterie, and what to put on a board
Apéritif pairings and why Pastis deserves your respect
Pantry essentials, styling tips, and the one rule I never break
What to wear, what to say, and how to host without trying too hard
A French playlist to set the mood (and no, it’s not just Edith Piaf)
This isn’t entertaining. It’s a lifestyle. And you don’t need a Provençal house to live it.
Limited early access — because I’d rather pour for a few who get it than everyone who doesn’t.
