review 1: Excellent resource, even if the reader has never been to Paris and has no plans to travel there anytime in the near future. The recipes that I tried from the book were delicious, the behind-the-scenes stories about the various eateries and their owners were very interesting. I liked that there was a soupçon of history added to the mix. I am adding this book to my Wish List of books that I would like to own a copy of.
review 2: Well, definitely not a book to read when you are hungry...or maybe, why not, the perfect book to read when you're hungry! I received this book via a Goodreads giveaway. This is a really well-organized guide, by type of food purveyor and then broken down into neighborhoods, with price info, etc. Throughout the book there are many sideb... morears of info that can be useful while actually in Paris, and plenty that's fun to know even if a trip to Paris isn't in the works.Sure, I wish there were more recipes - tho I appreciate those that were included, and in particular am looking forward to making the asparagus with whipped ricotta (I am a cheese-maker and asparagus is in season here now!) and the almond cake. Some of the recipes were a little disappointing - as in, a certain type of cheese on a certain type of bread...but looking at it as an example is maybe better than thinking of that as a recipe.We'll be in Paris at some point in the fall of 2015, so I will definitely be checking some of these places out! less
