Summary

Authentic recipes from Parisian bistros are perfect for simple, celebratory meals with family and friends. Classic dishes like Provencal Vegetable Terrine, Coq au Vin, and Tarte Tatin capture the tastes of easy family-style French cooking. A description of each bistro's style and guides to nearby sights lead readers on a gourmet tour of Paris.

With sections on how to order like a true Parisian, a bistro menu glossary, and suggestions for creating the bistro experience at home, this is the perfect volume for everyone interested in enjoying French cuisine, family style. The compact disc of music by Edith Piaf, Django Reinhardt, and George Gershwin sets a romantic Parisian mood and adds to the enjoyment.
