About Kate Hill
Welcome to my world—The Camont Journals
The Camont Journals mark my time living at my 300-year-old French farmhouse in Gascony, Southwest France. I write to capture the house's days and seasons—its kitchens, gardens, and the markets I haunt. These are stories of a quieter life, recipes for authentic food, modest but fertile gardens, and the generous farmers and wonderful neighbors that have formed a writable life. Here are the stories and recipes that define my first memoir, Finding France, and now in 2025, Champêtre: A Field Guide to French Country Life.
Reading Kate Hill’s The Camont Journals is like taking a 10-minute vacation to France—every week.
