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 the, 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!

 Delicious journey through the Paris food scene November 10, 2008

This book goes beyond a guide to the eateries. Clotilde offers delightful stories and cultural notes that bring the restaurants, pastry shops and coffee houses to life. My only warning is don't read this when you're hungry! The descriptions she writes will make your mouth water.
Great information October 19, 2008

There is a lot of good information in this book. I would have liked to see color photos adjacent to the recipes. But other than that, the book seems useful. I will be in Paris in 2 weeks, so we'll soon see how beneficial it is in practice. But it looks promising. I like the way it is divided by district.
Great read August 2, 2008

I haven't found many recipes that I want to make, but enjoy reading the book for inspiration.
 A light touch for Paris July 16, 2008

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 of French food terminology which is a great help if you are not sure what "riz de veau" is. I once got langouste and langoustine mixed up, much to the horror of my date, who was picking up the tab. Ha, ha, it turned out I had ordered the lobster.
While Clothilde's edible adventures are definitely on the light side, she does have a brisk, young, hip (or whatever the millenial generation's term for hip is)style and an obvious knowledge of her material. Book publishing nowadays is all about having platform, and since Clothilde has a popular blog that attracts thousands of fans,Crafting the Travel Guidebook: How to Write, Publish & Sell Your Travel Book it is only fitting that she inherit the mantle of the original author of the Food Lover's Guide to Paris. Bon appetit!
Wish I'd had it too! June 17, 2008

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!
