Clotilde Dusoulier, the beloved author of the blog Chocolate & Zucchini, has a new exciting cookbook out this month. Tasting Paris: 100 Recipes to Eat Like a Local shares more than 100 recipes, including both classic and contemporary dishes, as well as 125 evocative photographs that will charm readers.

Clotilde is a native Parisienne, who as I mentioned, is the voice behind the blog, Chocolate & Zucchini, which has been going strong for fifteen years. This wonderful resource for recipes and Paris inspiration is indexed for our members.

C&Z was one of the first sites that I followed when I started reading blogs religiously. The lure of Paris and Clotilde’s enchanting writing and recipes kept me coming back for more. Her previous titles are on my bookshelves and are indexed for our members. 

Tasting Paris features recipes that include iconic bistro and brasserie fare such as Steak with peppercorn sauce or decadent pastry, as well as newer dishes that reflect the way Parisians eat today think a Moroccan orange salad, Rice and ginger soup or a Turkish lamb flatbread. I love the global flavors you will find here nestled in between the classic Parisian dishes which makes this book even more enjoyable for me.

The food photography is inspirational and those of Paris will spark wanderlust. Whether you want to picnic along the Seine, shop the open-air markets, or seek out the best street food like a local, Tasting Paris has you covered. Throughout the book, Clotilde is our culinary guide to finding the best baguette and what to look for in obtaining the perfect Paris croissant. For those of us who have been to the city of light and dream of returning, we can recreate the flavors of this captivating city in our own kitchen with the delightful recipes here.

Clotilde has a few events planned which we have placed on our calendar and we will continue to update as more are confirmed.

Our EYB Book Preview will give you a closer look inside of this beautiful title and our EYB Recipe Preview shares the following recipes:
