Lunch In Paris

For the longest time when I went to the bookstore, I would look at this book [by Elizabeth Bard], but wasn't 100% sure about buying it because of the price [especially when it had just come out] in retrospect I may have been just being cheap but when Borders had their closing sale, you better believe that I snapped this book up!



It really is a love story!
First there is a chapter of the love story between Elizabeth and Gwendal and there there are about three recipes that coincide with that point in their lives.

The recipes are in sections that include: Recipes for Seduction, Recipes for Summer Fruit, Cooking Dinner with New Yorkers in Paris, Dinner Among Friends, Recipes for a French Picnic


The recipes and the chapters and steps of the relationship fit perfectly, and some of the recipes sound so delectable I can't wait to try them!





Uhm, when will it be summer again?!


I LOVED this book!  Honestly, when it ended, I started reading it over again!
Can't wait to try out some of the recipes!
Besides, who wouldn't like to cook French food? 
[although I am a bit of a Francophile] 


What was the last book that you read?

I bet you'd like The Sharper Your Knife, The Less You Cry. It's the true story of a woman who basically quit her corporate job to pursue her dream of going to le cordon bleu in Paris. The story is great and she includes a lot of recipes she learned while in school. You should check it out!
