“No matter how many visits you’ve enjoyed in the capital, this book will have you looking at flights immediatement.”

"Even at a time when recipes are readily available online, Tasting Paris deserves a place on the kitchen shelf. You’ll get fresh ideas, discover new variations, and bask in Clotilde’s warm and friendly personality. She works a special alchemy not only in the kitchen but in the minds and hearts of her readers. But beware of the tendency that comes with eating like a true Parisian local: thinking and talking about food 24/7."
— Marjorie R. Williams -Tastes of Paris All Day
