TASTING PARIS is my most recent cookbook, released on March 20, 2018 by Clarkson Potter in North America. It is available wherever books are sold, and internationally through online book-selling platforms.
Why TASTING PARIS?
This is the book I’ve long wanted to write to share the many and wonderful flavors of Paris from a local’s perspective. A cliché-free Paris that reflects the way real Parisians eat today.
From simple stews to dreamy pastries, vibrant greens to oozy cheeses, from the classic to the contemporary, the familiar to the exotic — Parisian food is indeed full of wonders.
Tasting Paris features 100 recipes coming to you straight from my very own Parisian kitchen, inspired by the exciting food scene around me, and honoring the many immigrant communities who have made Paris their home.
The recipes are organized by moments in a typical Parisian day, taking you from breakfast to lunch to le goûter (afternoon snack) to l’apéro (cocktail hour) to dinner and late into the night, so you’re equipped for every occasion.
They have been tested multiple times each by my wonderful team of recipe testers (those guys rock!), because I want you to feel confident and have great success in your own kitchen.
