Paris, My Sweet: A Year in the City of Light (and Dark Chocolate) by Amy Thomas, 288 pages. Available today in hardcover, Kindle, Nook from Sourcebooks.
Part love letter to New York, part love letter to Paris, and total devotion to all things sweet. Paris, My Sweet is a personal and moveable feast that’s a treasure map for anyone who loves fresh cupcakes and fine chocolate, New York and Paris, and life in general. It’s about how the search for happiness can be as fleeting as a sliver of cheesecake and about how the life you’re meant to live doesn’t always taste like the one you envisioned. Organized into a baker’s dozen of delicacies (and the adventures they inspired) that will tempt readers’ appetites, Paris, My Sweet is something to savor.
A fun and light romp through the boulangeries, patisseries, and chocolateries of New York City and Paris - I am over halfway through and can say with certainty you will need to keep a little chocolate nearby. Her descriptions of flaky, buttery and chocolaty treats are mouth watering. And I love the lists and guides to all her favorite sweet shops in both cities. Here is your chance to get a copy, hot off the presses. Just leave me a comment and tell me about your favorite pastry or dessert. Comments will close Friday at midnight, est. Bonne chance.
The End. (fin)
