If you are looking for a charming, quick read this would be the one for you. It intertwines one woman's new life in Paris with the recipes she encounters during her journeys. I probably got less from this book than many people would due to my inability to master the art of cooking (I have gotten really good at hamburger helper in the last year however!). But I can imagine myself creating some of the enchanting desserts and warm soups that are folded beetween the the pages of Elizabeth Bard's trip to self discovery.
With this book, you will most definitely begin to crave not only the mouth watering food but the adventure that lay in front of Bard as she wittingly records her memiors from her new European home. She is constantly stuck between a new world that is actually old and traditional and her old world (the United States) that is fast paced and optitmistic.
I suggest reading this book as a long weekend type thing; It wont take long and it wont hurt your brain to read. Take the time to relax and take in the imagery that Bard lays out so wonderfully. Maybe try a recipe or two?
