Falling in love with a Frenchman and moving to the city of light - not the Hollywood version, but the real Paris, a heady mix of blood sausage and irregular verbs - becomes a delicious culinary comedy of errors for Elizabeth Bard.
Battling fish guts and bureaucracy, Bard discovers that learning to cook and building a life as a stranger in an even stranger land have a lot in common: How do you put the recipe (or 5-year plan) aside and learn to experiment? Can you develop a taste for the new without leaving yourself behind? Will 'Just do it.' taste better with a dash of joie de vivre?
As this fish out of water is forced to revise her standard recipes for love, pleasure and success, she introduces us to bustling markets, bad-tempered butchers and heavenly chocolate shops as she learns to live, eat - and cook - like a true Parisienne.
Including recipes to die for and the real reason French women don't get fat, Bard's story is a funny, frank and mouth-watering adventure for the home cook, the gourmet traveller and any woman who has ever suspected that lunch in Paris could change her life.
If you loved ALMOST FRENCH and UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN, this is another true adventure story you won't be able to resist.
