The Patisseries of Paris



Let me tell you Francophiles about a book I purchased recently:

‘The Patisseries of Paris’

by Jamie Cahill
photographs by Alison Harris



I have wanted this book for so long.
I first spotted it at a Barnes & Noble in Washington DC
on my Summer vacation last year.



I even wrote about it in my travel journal.
This is what I wrote:

“I came across this amazing little book at Barnes & Nobles today.
‘The Patisseries of Paris’ - $16. I really really wanted to buy it,
but I'm not sure if I'll get much use out of it.”



You can imagine my joy as I saw this little treasure
on sale last week. It's a very handy book.
The patisseries are listed per arrondissment.



Accompanied with beautiful photography and
insightful tips.



Now all I need to do is whisk myself off to Paris
and let the feast of patisseries begin!

Au Revoir,
