Montmartre Rooftops

At the very beginning of June, I was in Dallas to attend my life coach training with Brooke Castillo. It was an amazing learning experience, and I am on track to be certified in September. (Sign up to be notified when my English coaching site goes live!)

I had a lot of fun in Dallas reconnecting with some dear friends, and the trip ended on a really high note with a signing at Interabang Books, the kind of indie bookstore everyone should support. It was a wonderful crowd that night, and if you were among them, I love you and thank you!

If you haven't been able to attend any of the signings and events I hosted around the release of my latest cookbook Tasting Paris, you can watch the talk I gave at the American Library in Paris back in May. That was a really fun night, too.

In other news, Maxence and I have set our hearts on a new apartment that we will be moving into with our sons in a few months. We are staying right here in Montmartre — can't imagine living anywhere else now! — and this new place will have, get this, a bedroom for us and a bedroom for the children. Pretty sweet.

If you're a Montmartre lover, too, check out these two shirts I designed to celebrate our common passion: this one has a drawing I did myself, inspired by the buildings of the neighborhood (I have it in slate grey); this one has a fun line in French (I have it in orange).

Pissaladière (French Onion Tart)

(June 12, 2018)Pissaladière (French Onion Tart)

Pissaladière is a specialty from Nice, in the South of France. It’s a thin-crust onion tart topped with black olives and anchovies, baked on a pizza-style dough. The name comes from pissalat (pee-sah-lah), a Provençal condiment of puréed anchovies, cloves, thyme and bay leaves that used to be spread on […]
