This book captures the essence of the Bistro experience., Oct 25 1998
This review is from: Paris Bistro Cooking (Hardcover)
I am a professional Chef in Boulder, Colorado. My apprenticeship included nine months in Paris and during that time I was entranced by Bistros of all types. This book not only captures the spirit and the essence of the Bistro experience, but also serves as a very useful guide to eating well, looking well, and being seen well while in Paris. I am ordering a second copy today since the first has met the demise of most loaned out books.

A must-have for lovers of French cookery!, April 21 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Paris Bistro Cooking (Hardcover)
Neighborhood bistros of Paris have a charm and ambience all their own. Linda Dannenberg captures their flavor in her picturesque book Paris Bistro Cooking. Photographer, Guy Bouchet, captures their appeal with his delightful photographs, which whisks you into the amicable atmosphere of savory meals and congenial company. Coquille Saint-Jacques, Sole Grenobloise, Cassoulet Toulousain, Gratin Dauphinois, Pots de Creme au Chocolat, Galette de Pommes de Terre au Chevre en Salade, and Tarte Tatin--are just a very few of the mouthwatering recipes included. Ms. Dannenberg also lists sources for bistroware, supply houses, furniture, mail-order emporiums, etc., in a directory at the back of the book. Paris Bistro Cooking is bound to bring pleasure. But, beware! This book inspires hunger!

Paris Bistros, Aug 29 2008
By R. Flintermann - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Paris Bistro Cooking (Hardcover)
Excellent quality paper stock and hard-bound. Excellent and authentic recipes from Paris' finest bistros. I've made many of the recipes and have also travelled to these bistros. A trip to Paris planned around these bistros is really fun. Readers should also check out Linda Dannenberg's other Paris "cookbook", Paris Boulangerie-Patisserie.
