The Paris Cookbook by Patricia Wells

The Paris Cookbook by Patricia Wells

When acclaimed cookbook author Patricia Wells moved to Paris in 1980, she had no idea it would be "for good." In the two decades since, she has become one of the world's most beloved food writers, sharing her deep passion for her adopted home and teaching millions of Americans how to cook real French food.

In this new book, Patricia leads readers on a fascinating culinary exploration of the City of Moveable Feasts. Both a recipe book and a gastronomic guide, The Paris Cookbook covers all facets of the city's dynamic food scene, from the three-star cuisine of France's top chefs, to traditional bistro favorites, to the prized dishes of cheese-makers, market vendors, and home cooks. Gathered over the years, the 150 recipes in this book represent the very best of Parisian cooking: a simple yet decadent creamy white bean soup from famed chef Joël Robuchon; an effortless seared veal flank steak from Patricia's neighborhood butcher; the ultimate chocolate mousse from La Maison du Chocolat; and much more. In her trademark style, Patricia explains each dish clearly and completely, providing readers with helpful cooking secrets, wine accompaniments, and métro directions to each featured restaurant, café, and market.

Filled with gorgeous black-and white photographs and Patricia's own personal stories, The Paris Cookbook offers an unparalleled taste of France's culinary capital. You may not be able to visit Paris, but this book will bring its many charms home to your table.

Wells, Patricia: - Patricia Wells accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior on Easter Sunday (Resurrection Sunday) 1968 after a Sunday lesson from John 3:16. From an early age, she has always been very passionate about helping the aging and the sick; she voluntarily ran errands for the elderly and visited the sick in her community. Patricia felt that was her call in life. At the age of 16 she registered to join the military upon graduation; however, due to her ongoing health issues, she did not pass the physical examination. Shortly after failing the physical she was contacted by the Veteran's Administration Hospital to start in a training program which was created to help fill the nursing shortage. Fifty plus years later, Patricia is still passionate about helping those who are sick. She has made it her life's work and her ministry to pray for the sick. She has volunteered in the local hospital serving in their chaplain services visiting the sick and praying for their health and healing. She proudly shares her own victory report of how she overcame a respiratory condition which often caused her to be rushed to the hospital. Patricia became sick-n-tired of being sick.
