Description
Hop on the Paris Express and let Laura Calder help you cook yourself into a Paris state of mind
Paris Express is a book of quick, modern recipes that will have you breezily whipping up gorgeous French meals in the blink of an eye. While not every recipe here is a fifteen-minute miracle—some do take a little bit of time, but no effort—each one will transport you into a Paris state of mind: a place of breeziness, insouciance, whimsy, beauty and delight. Frankly, to a place where time slows down a bit.
With full-colour photography, roughly 120 fabulous recipes, sample menus and a generous smattering of art de vivre, tips and ideas Paris Express is a confidence-building companion for home cooks who have no time to fuss, but whose lives in the kitchen (and elsewhere) are craving instant cheer, indulgence and inspiration.
