Publishers Text

Author Daniel Young brings home to American cooks the charm, culture, and food of the fifty best Paris cafés. Unlike the bistro, the café is a place where you can sit for as long as you like with only a drink -- but the food is so tempting, you'll want to order more than just a café au lait. Here are more than 150 recipes for classics like Coq au Vin and Boeuf Bourguignon, which satisfy cravings for hearty comfort food. Many French favorites such as Pommes Dauphine (Croquettes of Pureed Potatoes) are surprisingly simple and can be prepared in under thirty minutes. Desserts like tarte tatin and chocolate-hazelnut-filled crepes are quintessential French treats and wonderfully easy to make.

Sure to transport even armchair travelers, The Paris Café Cookbook presents stories of rendezvous and routines from the author's travels to cafés from Ma Bourgogne, situated in the oldest square in Paris, to the Web Bar, a new cyber café. Evocative black-and-white photographs and colorful illustrations accompany the essays and recipes, making this cookbook a delightful gift for food lovers and Francophiles.
