Has a meal ever changed your life? Part love story, part wine-splattered cookbook, Lunch in Paris is a deliciously tart, forthright and funny story of falling in love with a Frenchman and moving to the world’s most romantic city – not the Hollywood version, but the real Paris, a heady mix of blood sausage, pains aux chocolats and irregular verbs. From gutting her first fish (with a little help from Jane Austen) to discovering the French version of Death by Chocolate, Elizabeth Bard finds that learning to cook and building a new life have a lot in common. Peppered with recipes, this mouth-watering love story is the perfect treat for anyone who has ever suspected that lunch in Paris could change their life.

Quotes

  • Galina Zaparenkohas quoted6 years ago
    Never in my life, not once, had anyone ever told there was something I couldn’t do, couldn’t be.
  • Galina Zaparenkohas quoted6 years ago
    I have to keep my head about me as I place my order. First there is the gender issue; every French noun is assigned a sex, masculine or feminine. Personally, I think my croissant is a woman, as tender and fragile as a Brontë heroine. But apparently, the Académie Française, the guys who make the dictionary, have decided that “croissant” is masculine, un croissant. I have been outvoted.
  • Galina Zaparenkohas quoted6 years ago
    It’s not that there’s no free spirit in me. But it’s a free spirit with a five-year plan.
