Really enjoy these slices of French life and some great recipes

Read while on vacation. Light. Good recipes. Insight into living in Paris as an American.

A sweet Parisian memoir that will surely make so many of us dream of eloping with a French beau met at a corner café. She writes about life and work (and love), and lots about cooking. She gives great descriptions of Paris, of the people, of the customs, of the food. A very enjoyable book for travelers and kitchen dreamers.

This book is light reading that makes you want to be in that place and time. Occasionally there's some beautiful prose that captures a feeling or a thought you've had, especially about motherhood, and you have to stop and savor it. Added to my life goals are visiting her ice cream shop in Provence.
