Product Description:

Clotilde Dusoulier, a native Parisian and passionate explorer of the city’s food scene, has won a tremendous following online with her insider reports and wonderful recipes on her blog, www.chocolateandzucchini.com. Her book, Chocolate and Zucchini, introduced her to a wider, equally enthusiastic audience.

Now in Clotilde’s Edible Adventures in Paris, Clotilde reveals her all-time favorite food experiences in her native city. She takes us on a mouthwatering tour of the restaurants, markets, and shops she loves the most: from the best places to go for lunch, tea, or a glass of wine, to “neo bistros” and the newest places to find spectacular yet affordable meals. Packed with advice on everything from deciphering a French menu to ordering coffee correctly, this book is like having Clotilde as a personal guide. A dozen tempting recipes are also included, shared or inspired by Clotilde’s favorite chefs and bakers.

For first-time visitors and seasoned travelers alike, Clotilde’s Edible Adventures in Paris offers invaluable insider recommendations on eating and shopping with Parisian panache.

The best of Paris, featuring 164 restaurants, bistros, wine bars, and salons de thé, as well as over 130 bakeries, pastry shops, cheese shops, bookstores, chocolate and candy shops, cookware and tableware stores, specialty shops, outdoor markets, and much, much more!

I haven't found many recipes that I want to make, but enjoy reading the book for inspiration.

- A light touch for Paris
Years ago, I read a book called The Food Lover's Guide to Paris. In fact, I still have it because it includes 20 recipes and it's coverage of the restaurants, wine bars, cafes, bistros, cheese and bread markets created such nostalgia in me for that city that I could not part with it. However, the last edition was written in the 1990s, and no new edition ever came out. I think the author moved to Italy.

So now we have a light, bright newcomer who covers much of the same territory. The format is somewhat similar also. The author is obviously a cook, and the write-ups of shops and markets are minutely described. A great book for those who have some time to stay in Paris rather than rush in and out in a few days. There are also some recipes in the book, and plenty more on the blog that apparently led to the creation of this book.

Of course, The Food Lover's Guide had a 37-page glossary ... Read More

- Wish I'd had it too!
Like the other reviewer, I wish I'd had Clotilde's new book for my Paris trip last April. I saw several restaurant listings near the apartment I was staying at, and near the French language school I attended. The shop descriptions are also very helpful. Though in some ways such shops can be found all over the city, it is really helpful to know what the specialties may be, and what to ask for. After reading her blog for years, it is delightful to have her favorites all in one place, and in a beautifully designed book just the right size for traveling.

Clotilde's first book was a joy -- even after I had sworn off cookbooks forever -- and this one is even better. Merci, Clotilde!

- Never steered us wrong!
Just returned from our first trip to Paris and ate at about 7-8 of the recommended restaurants/shops in this book. EVERY recommendation was perfect; I don't think I've ever had a travel guidebook that seemed so spot on! The shops Ms Dusoulier mentions are charming and stocked with impeccable products. The restaurants were all fantastic and exactly as described. Half way through the trip we ditched our other guidebook and relied exclusively on this one for food! I especially liked the listings for bakeries, cheese shops, etc. You don't usually find so many of them in guidebooks. The extra info she peppers throughout the text was also much appreciated (dining customs in France, descriptions of important dishes, etc). One of the nicest features is that the book lists the nearest Metro stop AND cross streets for all businesses. This is so much more helpful than just an address, which can be impossible to find on ... Read More
