Lunch in Paris A Love Story with Recipes
>> A book that leaves you smiling
When I first saw Lunch in Paris in Barnes and Noble I picked it up flipped through the pages and decided not to buy it I came home read some reviews online and bought it the next day I m so glad I did

This was my very first American in Paris book and I can say that I really enjoyed reading it My boyfriend is French so I was able to relate to many of the awkward and frustrating experiences that Elizabeth went through It was fun to live vicariously through her transition into French culture

Her writing style is entertaining light and a fast read I keep up with her life/recipes by reading her blog

I ve tried a couple of recipes and they are delicious Overall I would say that this is a great book for someone looking for a fun read
>> Delightful and Delicious
I love reading books where the author paints pictures And Elizabeth Bard is a master at the craft You observe what she eating doing thinking all in exquisite detail

In the book Lunch In Paris A Love Story with Recipes Elizabeth recounts falling in love with a Parisian and immersing herself in the world of French cuisine She shares how she begins to understand the French mindset and eats like the French with the focus on quality not quantity

Interspersed throughout the book are rich recipes to tantalize the taste buds

Overall a very tasty read to savor and enjoy
