"Loaded with wit and charm, ... [t]his fabulous jaunt through the City of Light will leave readers breathless and longing for more from Cram." - Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Discover love in all its flavors in this fun, food-infused romp through Paris that is as crisp, sweet, and smooth as the perfect macaron. Paris may be for lovers, but cookbook author Genna McGraw is definitely not looking for love. She's looking for escape and she's looking for a good runny Brie to pair with a smooth Bordeaux. Where better than Paris? In Love Among the Recipes, Genna goes to the City of Light to get away from her husband and write a "crossover cookbook/guidebook" that matches Parisian sights such as the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre with recipes for bistro-style French dishes. She also dabbles in romance with dishy French lawyer Pierre Leblanc and makes friends at her French class with Colorado transplant Marsha Renfrew and her snooty English boyfriend. And then there's big, blunt Bill Turner from Australia. Does he really eat crocodile steaks for tea? But when Genna's family crashes her new life in Paris, a crisis forces her to choose how she wants to live. Will she have the courage to embrace an uncertain future and risk losing everything?… (meer)

You can't travel because of the pandemic? Read this book. It will take you to a life in Paris with romance, museums, sculptures, gardens and wonderful food. The story is delightful. It's about a woman in her 50's, Genna, who is now feeling independent and ready for a new life and love - separated from her husband, Drew, from Vancouver BC. She wonders if she's doing the right thing by a quick move to Paris where she decides to write her sixth cookbook. This is one of her dreams - a creation of mouth watering French foods paired with noted sites in the city.

At the end, the author says, "are you hungry?" She provides a list of recipes and links to the famous sites. As far as attractive men, you are on your own. It helps to know some French words here and there. For any middle age woman who needs an escape, it may be the dream they wish could come true.

My thanks to the publisher and NetGallery for allowing me to read this copy.
