I came across 'Lunch in Paris' in WH Smith at the airport as I was searching for a good holiday read (with only ten minutes to boarding!) but I instantly knew this was just my kind of book.
'Lunch in Paris' (A love story with recipes) is a story about a young American woman who falls in love with a Frenchman called Gwendal, Paris and French food. Throughout the book there are mouth-watering recipes for the dishes she learns to create...pork spare ribs glazed in honey and rosemary, summer ratatouille, molten chocolate cakes.......
I like the way the recipes are part of the story. After reading about her mother-in-law's delicious poached cod, served at the family lunch, it was good to see the recipe just a few pages later.
- Lunch in Paris is also available in other languages including German and Dutch - details in the blog
This book has been on my list for a while...cannot wait to read it!
ReplyDeletethanks for a lovely suggestion! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, I will buy it. Kisses
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence, I've just finished reading a novel which also has recipes, it's called Dying for chocolate and it was a good read!

ReplyDeleteoh...that really sounds like a yummy reading! love the mix of food and love...how not to ! :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks like an amazing book; anything to do with French + food is incredibly appealing to me! xx
ReplyDeleteI loved this book too! I felt very Parisian last summer when I'd take it with me to Starbucks to read it while sipping my cappuccino ;) I too hate it when a good book ends ... and often find that I rush out trying to find one with the same feeling as the last one because I want it to continue! I always have a book that I'm reading and have to have one waiting before each one is finished. Thanks for stopping by, sweets!

That's such a good idea, Sandy, to have a book waiting! I'm now trying to find a replacement - maybe I should be looking for two!
DeleteThis sounds like an amazing book!

This is definitely my kind of book, thanks for recommending, I am checking the blog right away as well : ) I love reading Peter Mayle books, have a big collection of them. And cooking and armchair travel books in general : ) And Paris is the bonus here : )
ReplyDeleteI'll have to tell the girls about this book. They are in love with Paris, and they loved the food there. Thank you for sharing it.

I positively hated this book. The author is so self-important and tries to shock with her frivolous attitude to sex. I found it immature and annoying. That said, her recipes were excellent and I tried a few of them.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy this book and that you feel so strongly about it. I didn't get this impression and found it an enjoyable, light read.
DeleteI like the sound of this book! "Meet me at the cupcake cafe" is also a novel with recipes throughout. It's quite the trend at the moment it seems?!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about finishing a book, I always feel a little deflated. There's always the next one to look forward to though! :D xx
I haven't heard of that one. I shall have to add it to my list - thanks!
DeleteHi Miss b, love this post! love, Paris, food!! all my favourite things! will defo buy! Also, thank you so much for leaving such a lovely comment on my blog!!
