"Lunch in Paris: A Love Story, with Recipes" by Elizabeth Bard is the story of an American young woman, living/working in England, who goes to France, meets a man and eventually after much traveling back and forth across the channel, moves in with him and eventually marries and settles down to a life in Paris. Its their love story, as well as the story of what it takes to get used to a total new way of living and thinking in a country not your own. It has great descriptions of food, places and discussions about the differences between the upbringing and mindset of persons raised in two very different countries. It reminded me quite a bit of another book I read titled, "Cooking for Mr. Latte." It was well written and easily read. Each chapter, was a new problem or difference between Gwendol and Elizabeth and how they managed to compromise or solve it. I enjoyed it.
