WINNER OF THE JANE GRIGSON TRUST AWARD 'Thoroughly entertaining (and hunger-inducing)' The
Times 'A joy and an education for anyone who loves Paris' Diana Henry author of From the
Oven to the Table Paris has a justifiable claim to be the centre of European gastronomy - but
beyond its trademark terrasses and zinc-topped tables what can its cuisine tell us about the
city? Chris Newens an award-winning food writer and long-time resident of the historic
slaughterhouse quartier Villette takes us on a delightful gastronomic journey around Paris'
twenty spiralling arrondissements seeking out sampling and attempting to recreate a dish
that represents each as it is today. Hemingway wrote that 'wherever you go for the rest of
your life it stays with you for Paris is a moveable feast'. From Congolese cat fish in the
18th to Middle Eastern falafels in the 4th to the charcuterie served at the libertine
nightclubs of Pigalle in the 9th Newens lifts the lid on the city's ever-changing defining
and irresistible food culture. 'A gorgeous romp through the city's culinary past and present
that made me hungry for Paris' Olivia Potts author of A Half-Baked Idea 'This joyful
delicious book is a feast for all the senses' Ned Palmer author of A Cheesemonger's Tour de
France
