Biography & Autobiography. Cooking & Food. Travel. Nonfiction. HTML:In Paris for a weekend visit, Elizabeth Bard sat down to lunch with a handsome Frenchman--and never went home again.

Was it love at first sight? Or was it the way her knife slid effortlessly through her pavé au poivre, the steak'spink juices puddling into the buttery pepper sauce? LUNCH IN PARIS is a memoir about a young American woman caught up in two passionate love affairs--one with her new beau, Gwendal, the other with French cuisine. Packing her bags for a new life in the world's most romantic city, Elizabeth is plunged into a world of bustling open-air markets, hipster bistros, and size 2 femmes fatales. She learns to gut her first fish (with a little help from Jane Austen), soothe pangs of homesickness (with the rise of a chocolate soufflé) and develops a crush on her local butcher (who bears a striking resemblance to Matt Dillon). Elizabeth finds that the deeper she immerses herself in the world of French cuisine, the more Paris itself begins to translate. French culture, she discovers, is not unlike a well-ripened cheese-there may be a crusty exterior, until you cut through to the melting, piquant heart.

Peppered with mouth-watering recipes for summer ratatouille, swordfish tartare and molten chocolate cakes, Lunch in Paris is a story of falling in love, redefining success and discovering what it truly means to be at home. In the delicious tradition of memoirs like A Year in Provence and Under the Tuscan Sun, this book is the perfect treat for anyone who has dreamed that lunch in Paris could change their l

I thought this was going to be one of those frivolous and hopefully fun reads about a woman to goes to live in France. I was pleasantly surprised to find it was that and more. Elizabeth Bard has some interesting and perceptive things to say about expat life and about some of the differences between American and French culture. The only problem was that I had bought a used copy from an Amazon seller and it turned out that quite a few of the pages were missing, so although I liked the book, I didn't get to read it all!

Oh, and did I say there were recipes in the book? Some are very appealing, but having tried one, I have to say that the lists of ingredients are probably more useful than the method, which is not well explained (at least in some of the recipes). Most (but unfortunately not all) of the pages that were torn out were of recipes. I hope that whoever did that dastardly deed doesn't realize the insufficiencies in the methods instructions and suffers poor results. Hummmpf! ( )

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. ( )

I was in the mood for a foodie book and this definitely fit the bill.

Elizabeth moves to Paris after falling in love with Gwendal.

Cooking becomes her way of making Paris her home.

I enjoyed the stories of finding new markets to shop, new ingredients to try and even new methods of cooking.

If you're looking for a fun, culinary story about Paris this is a good choice.

a decent enough book. Fun in spots but with many dragging not quite flowing parts. A better editor might have helped. Buy in paperback or kindle, but not in hard cover. ( )

"Lunch in Paris" winds its way through eight years of eating and Bard's progression from a kitchen novice intimidated by the French language and Paris' hectic markets to an adventurous shopper and experimental cook comfortable mixing French, American and other techniques. It's nearly impossible not to fall in love with her along the way. She's halfway home with her luscious description of that first steak.
