We don’t choose who we love, but rather love chooses for us. Elizabeth Bard’s memoir Lunch in Paris chronicles her romance with her husband as well as the City of Lights. From their apartment together to her marriage proposal, food plays an important role. Not only does Elizabeth share her adventures in Paris, but shares mouthwatering yet accessible recipes for her readers.
Some of our members were even inspired to try out Elizabeth’s recipes for a potluck style gathering.
