In this pleasant memoir about
learning to live and eat à
la française, an American journalist married
to a Frenchman inspires lessons in culinary
détente. Bard was working as a journalist in
London and possessed of the wonderful puppy-dog
enthusiasm of young Americans when she first met
her husband-to-be, Gwendal, a computer engineer
from Brittany. Soon he had the foresight to put
her name on the gas bill of his Parisian
apartment in the 10th arrondissement, and they
were destined to marry—and cook together. Her
memoir is really a celebration of the culinary
season as it unfolded in their young lives
together: recipes for seduction (onion and
bacon); getting serious over andouillette;
learning to buy what's fresh at the Parisian
markets (four and a half pounds of figs);
surviving a long, cold winter in an unheated
apartment; and warming up their visiting parents
over profiteroles. Bard throws in some American
recipes that feel like home, such as noodle
pudding, and comforting soups for a winter's
grieving over the death of the father-in-law.
Bard carefully observes the eating habits of her
impossibly slender mother-in-law for tips to
staying slim (lots of water and no snacking).
Bard keeps an eye to healthful ingredients
(Three Fabulous Solo Lunches), and, as a Jewish
New Yorker, even prepares a Passover seder in
Paris, in this work that manages to be both
sensuous and informative.
"As charming and coquettish as
Paris itself, Lunch
in Paris reawakens
our tired hearts and palates with a deliciously
passionate journey through the city of lights.
Be prepared to be seduced by french kisses, the
richest chocolate, and the sweet charm of Bard's
prose." (Nani Power, author of Crawling
at Night and Feed
the Hungry )
