 The Taste of Paris February 2, 2001
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The sights, the magic and with a little effort the smells of Parisien Bistroland! As a recognised "foodie" with a love of Paris, this book has been instrumental in the conversion of my wife to love Paris as much as I! The recipes are clearly presented and well laid out and with very little knowledge of what goes with what, a delicious 3-course menu can easily be designed. Not difficult, not complicated and great fun working your way from cover-to-cover discovering the true atmosphere of a Paris Bistro... but watch the waistline, this is definitely not for the figure conscious!!

I am a professional Chef in Boulder, Colorado. My apprenticeship included nine months in Paris and during that time I was entranced by Bistros of all types. This book not only captures the spirit and the essence of the Bistro experience, but also serves as a very useful guide to eating well, looking well, and being seen well while in Paris. I am ordering a second copy today since the first has met the demise of most loaned out books.
A must-have for lovers of French cookery! April 21, 1998

Neighborhood bistros of Paris have a charm and ambience all their own. Linda Dannenberg captures their flavor in her picturesque book Paris Bistro Cooking. Photographer, Guy Bouchet, captures their appeal with his delightful photographs, which whisks you into the amicable atmosphere of savory meals and congenial company. Coquille Saint-Jacques, Sole Grenobloise, Cassoulet Toulousain, Gratin Dauphinois, Pots de Creme au Chocolat, Galette de Pommes de Terre au Chevre en Salade, and Tarte Tatin--are just a very few of the mouthwatering recipes included. Ms. Dannenberg also lists sources for bistroware, supply houses, furniture, mail-order emporiums, etc., in a directory at the back of the book. Paris Bistro Cooking is bound to bring pleasure. But, beware! This book inspires hunger!
