A memoir of a love affair with France (and a man there) that INCLUDES recipes?! This book was quite literally made for me. Elizabeth Bard describes how she fell in love with Gwendal and his bohme lifestyle, all while discovering the beautiful outdoor markets and quaint bistros of Paris.
In Paris for a weekend visit, Elizabeth Bard sat down to lunch with a handsome Frenchman -- and never went home again.
Was it love at first sight? Or was it the way her knife slid effortlessly through her pav au poivre, the steak's pink juices puddling into the buttery pepper sauce? Lunch in Paris is a memoir about a young American woman caught up in two passionate love affairs -- one with her new beau, Gwendal, the other with French cuisine. Packing her bags for a new life in the world's most romantic city, Elizabeth is plunged into a world of bustling open-air markets, hipster bistros, and size 2 femmes fatales. She learns to gut her first fish (with a little help from Jane Austen), soothe pangs of homesickness (with the rise of a chocolate souffl), and develops a crush on her local butcher (who bears a striking resemblance to Matt Dillon). Elizabeth finds that the deeper she immerses herself in the world of French cuisine, the more Paris itself begins to translate. French culture, she discovers, is not unlike a well-ripened cheese -- there may be a crusty exterior, until you cut through to the melting, piquant heart.
Peppered with mouth-watering recipes for summer ratatouille, swordfish tartare and molten chocolate cakes, Lunch in Paris is a story of falling in love, redefining success and discovering what it truly means to be at home. In the delicious tradition of memoirs like A Year in Provence and Under the Tuscan Sun, this book is the perfect treat for anyone who has dreamed that lunch in Paris could change their life.

Last week, my daughters came back from college for Thanksgiving break to a new home, a new (shared) bedroom, and a new neighborhood. We moved to Manhattan only a few days after dropping them off at school in August, and ever since, it seems like I\u2019ve been looking at my watch and the front door every few minutes expecting them to walk in, kick off their Sambas, and pile their jackets and lanyards and backpacks and headphones on the bench in the foyer. For the past few months we\u2019ve been pretending to be concerned about this \u2014 things are going to get interesting when we\u2019re all on top of each other and their stuff is everywhere \u2014 but of course I couldn\u2019t wait, and knew that this was going to be the week when the house was going to start really feeling like a home. We were not wrong. (Especially about the mess stuff.) I thought the girls would want to run around doing things in the city like their peripatetic parents those first few weeks we arrived, but like most kids home from college for Thanksgiving, they just wanted to do all the homebody things, i.e. sleep in, decompress, watch mindless movies, hang with their cousins, and of course, eat good food. That came in the form of Braised Short Ribs, Tomato-Rice Soup, Brothy Beans with Burrata, and Salmon with Brown Sugar Mustard Glaze, one of the first salmon recipes the girls loved as opposed to tolerated way back when. In other words, things were different, but also very much the same.

I am going to make this pork recipe this week. And, regarding the new book.... I already commented on Instagram, but I CANNOT WAIT. You are the writer that introduced me to cooks memoirs (or as my daughters say: books with recipes- but not cookbooks!). I have had to buy your books several times as I loan them and never get them back. CANNOT WAIT!!
Would you like to know the feeling of savoring a hearty Bourgogne wine? Perhaps you dream of licking the flakes from a pain au chocolat off your fingers? Bard will help you bring these things to life with her memoir of love and food. A former New Yorker who fell in love with a Frenchman, Bard learns to grapple with humorous cultural differences, while finding herself through her fascination with Parisian food markets. Create the perfect bouillabaisse and more with the recipes interspersed throughout!
This is the account of her transformation as she moves through the course and falls deeply in love along the way. This is a little less travel and a little more memoir, but either way it does include more than two dozen recipes with a unique looking into Le Cordon Bleu.
Wonderful article. I love to read about the French way of eating and training their children. I am appalled at how inhumane our school lunch programs are in the United States. Our children get 20-25 minutes in total, to eat lunch AND play outside. They stuff their faces with food so they can go out and play as quickly as possible! This lack of time to eat is unhealthy and, in my view, more animal than human. I like how the French consider eating to be a form of citizenship training. I would argue that Americans are also using our food and eating habits to train our citizens, whom we tellingly call consumers. America seems to value corporations above everything else lately, and our eating is just one more way in which we support the fast food, corporate culture. Perhaps gaining an awareness of this, and that there are different ways to live, we will decide this is not how we want things to be. 589ccfa754
