"As charming and coquettish as Paris itself, Lunch in Paris
reawakens our tired hearts and palates with a deliciously
passionate journey through the city of lights. Be prepared to be
seduced by french kisses, the richest chocolate, and the sweet
charm of Bard's prose."--Nani Power, author of Crawling at Night

"Elizabeth Bard's Lunch in Paris is delicious, romantic, and sexy,
just as the title indicates. What captivates you is the story of a
woman finding herself after she finds love, and the challenge that
entails. I devoured this book with all the gusto I would bring to a
plate of steak tartare with pommes frites."--Giulia Melucci, author
of I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti
"In this charming memoir, Bard searches for her new identity by
balancing her love for two countries. She discovers the common
denominator that will give her life meaning: food.... If you
enjoyed the Julia Child romance that made the Julie & Julia film so
entrancing, you'll love this voyage into the gastronomic soul of
the French - complete with luscious recipes."--Carol Memmott, USA
Today
"In this pleasant memoir about learning to live and eat "à la
française," an American journalist married to a Frenchman inspires
lessons in culinary détente.... [Bard's] memoir is really a
celebration of the culinary season as it unfolded in their young
lives together.... both sensuous and informative."--Publishers
Weekly
