the last time you read a food guide in one sitting?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Food Lover&#8217;s Guide to Paris is the first food book I ever read cover to cover in one day. I can personally recommend it and say, &#8220;delightfully delicious&#8221;. \u00a0You are introduced to the book with a casual overview of then and now and reassured that French cuisine is here to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The guide is simply laid out and begins with a map and arrondissement locations of places mentioned in the guide. In the &#8220;How-to-Guide&#8221; section Helen Massy-Beresford gives essential courtesy tips. She then shows you to your table of dining or specialty shop pleasures with dashes of storied descriptions and delightful, colourful, inviting photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every arrondissement will have some special categories such as the &#8220;Pure Paris&#8221; section, which are some her favourite. &#8220;Best Bistrot&#8221; takes you to the ardoise (blackboard) classics and &#8220;bistronomy&#8221;. With the &#8220;Al Fresco&#8221; section you are outside of the caf\u00e9 or bistrot for people watching. &#8220;Going Green&#8221; brings the &#8220;health-eating trends&#8221; to your table in what used to be a &#8220;niche movement&#8221; (i.e., gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian). &#8220;Pop-up Paris&#8221; covers the inventive and unusual restaurants. &#8220;Caf\u00e9 culture&#8221; still exists in Paris but has expanded into coffee and beer d\u00e9gustation (tastings) and variety. &#8220;Do it Yourself&#8221; puts you on the scene to choose from cheese shops, city markets and stores to prepare for that picnic. &#8220;Perfect patisseries&#8221; invites you to browse for bakeries and desserts.&#8221;Cosmopolitan Paris&#8221; opens doors not only to Paris regional cuisines but also global cuisine that immigrants have brought to Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With about 18,000 restaurants in Paris, Helen who has lived in Paris since 2007, provides new alternatives and a few classics. Her descriptions are engagingly written and personal. Her non-allergic and specialty food styles are blended together for easy, smooth and tempting reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can highly recommend the Food Lover&#8217;s Guide to Paris as a practical addition to your travel packing, whether real or virtual.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging-wptechsupport.com\/colleensparis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Signatures-alphed-a-bientot.jpeg?ssl=1\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"39\" data-attachment-id=\"16725\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/staging-wptechsupport.com\/colleensparis\/2019\/10\/madame-eiffel-tower-celebrates-130-years\/signatures-alphed-a-bientot\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging-wptechsupport.com\/colleensparis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Signatures-alphed-a-bientot.jpeg?fit=997%2C130&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"997,130\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Signatures alphed a bientot\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging-wptechsupport.com\/colleensparis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Signatures-alphed-a-bientot.jpeg?fit=300%2C39&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging-wptechsupport.com\/colleensparis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Signatures-alphed-a-bientot.jpeg?fit=800%2C104&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging-wptechsupport.com\/colleensparis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Signatures-alphed-a-bientot.jpeg?resize=300%2C39&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\u00e0 bient\u00f4t, Colleen signature\" class=\"wp-image-16725\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging-wptechsupport.com\/colleensparis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Signatures-alphed-a-bientot.jpeg?resize=300%2C39&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging-wptechsupport.com\/colleensparis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Signatures-alphed-a-bientot.jpeg?resize=200%2C26&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging-wptechsupport.com\/colleensparis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Signatures-alphed-a-bientot.jpeg?resize=800%2C104&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging-wptechsupport.com\/colleensparis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Signatures-alphed-a-bientot.jpeg?w=997&amp;ssl=1 997w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When is the last time you read a food guide in one sitting?
