Patricia Wells moved to Paris she had no idea it
would be for good. But, seduced by the magnetism
of that all-embracing city, she discovered a vibrant
culture that intensified her curiosity in all things
culinary. Now, more than twenty years later, the
magic of Parisian cooking is still her passion.

cafes, bistros, wine bars, markets, cheese shops
and restaurants, The Paris Cookbook is the authentic

Succulent fruits and fresh vegetables, delicious
cheeses, breads, pulses, fish, meats, herbs and

Sauce, Polenta Fries, and Cherries in Sweet Red
