Partager French Cooking

When I originally moved to Paris, I was introduced to lots of people, courtesy  of my immobilier, real estate agent, ...one of them being the author of this beautiful 2 volume set of cooking books,
ÉCAILLE  &  PLUME.   This is just one of the many cookbooks that will be displayed at the Paris Cookbook Fair at Le Centquatre this week, Feb. 12 - 15 2010.   Marie Naël  was a regular customer of L'Epicerie Fine, when I first met her.  She was always buying interesting products, such as raspberry mustards, des banyuls vinegars, risotto rices, truffle oils,  and well...I could go on and on with the grocery list she carried with her...But it did make me curious as to who she was, and what was she doing with all those goodies!

Partager Photos

Paris is THE place for photographers...but sometimes, the subjects are nearer to home.....

My husband has a huge passion for photography....  thus, many of our friends come our way when phtotographs are needed, as in this case, or wanted, as in this case, too...  And since I like to hold a camera myself, (I like to think of myself as the director muse), we have mingled our passions, skills and talents.  Its a great way to spend the day., and come on..We are in Paris!   So, here we have some of my husband's work that I wanted to partager with you. What do you think? 


(If you would like to see more of mon marie's photos take a look at his Flickr site.)


Maybe you would like to partager some days with us taking pictures in Paris.
We are waiting to hear from you.....

Partager "LE FLORIMOND"

Le Florimond, located at 19, avenue de Motte-Piquet in the 7th arrondisement,  is a hidden gem in my quartier..."in the same manner of Florimond, the gardener of Claude Monet".....the chef, Pascal, mixes his magic, inspired by the best produce from the local markets, the freshest fish and seasonal products, and secret spice mixtures that are only known by his kitchen....But this cool weather calls for that special meal that Pascal makes with his grandmother's secret recipe... Chou farci, "recette de ma grand-mere" claims Pascal.
