A LIVELY INTRODUCTION TO THE CULINARY DIVERSITY OF THE CITY OF LIGHTS. NEW IN PAPERBACK. Chef Danyel Couet’s life-long love affair with simple French food began in his paternal grandmother’s Parisian kitchen. But of course the gastro polis of Paris offers much more than just the dishes cooked in Grandma’s kitchen. After innumerable outings in Paris’s many ethnic quarters, he has developed a love for couscous, strudel, and Peking duck that is just as strong as that for boeuf bourguignon and mousse au chocolat. Through eight neighborhoods and just as many kitchens, via markets, shops and restaurants—and approximately 90 recipes—Couet takes you with him to his Paris. Lusciously photographed by David Loftus, The Paris Neighborhood Cookbook reveals the gastronomic secrets of the City of Light, a place where food and cultural diversity is at the center of Parisian life.

Danyel Couet is currently head chef at Michelin-starred restaurant Fredsgatan 12 in Stockholm, Sweden. He has worked in Paris and has won numerous international prizes, as well as a silver medal in the "food Olympics," the Bocuse d’Or. David Loftus is one of the world’s most well regarded food and travel photographers. He regularly works with Jamie Oliver and has worked with Martha Stewart, Conde Nast Traveler, Food Illustrated, Australian Vogue and numerous others.
