Lunch in Paris: A Love Story, with Recipes by Elizabeth Bard
“In this pleasant memoir about learning to live and eat à la française, an American journalist married to a Frenchman inspires lessons in culinary détente. Bard was working as a journalist in London and possessed of the wonderful puppy-dog enthusiasm of young Americans when she first met her husband-to-be, Gwendal, a computer engineer from Brittany. Soon he had the foresight to put her name on the gas bill of his Parisian apartment in the 10th arrondissement, and they were destined to marry-and cook together. Her memoir is really a celebration of the culinary season as it unfolded in their young lives together: recipes for seduction (onion and bacon); getting serious over andouillette; learning to buy what’s fresh at the Parisian markets (four and a half pounds of figs); surviving a long, cold winter in an unheated apartment; and warming up their visiting parents over profiteroles….”
“Lunch in Paris has got it all: romance in full on the front burner with delicious French recipes for sustenance. (Adriana Trigiani, bestselling author of Very Valentine )
“A love story is always delightful, and one with recipes is also useful in the long run, part and parcel of a real French relationship.” (Diane Johnson, author of Le Divorce and L’Affaire )
“As charming and coquettish as Paris itself, Lunch in Paris reawakens our tired hearts and palates with a deliciously passionate journey through the city of lights. Be prepared to be seduced by french kisses, the richest chocolate, and the sweet charm of Bard’s prose.” (Nani Power, author of Crawling at Night and Feed the Hungry )
