I live in Paris, and have never had bad meal with this book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Paris Cafe Cookbook (Hardcover)
I live in Paris and know hundreds of restaurants, but Dan Young's wonderful book has led me to wonderful places I never would have found, or have passed by dozens of times without a thought of going inside. I've never had a bad meal with Mr. Young's book, and every new choice is an adventure. As he says in his introdion: finding a greate expensive restaurant is easy, but finding value and wonderful food is a real art. Eat well!

If you buy this book, you'll always have Paris!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Paris Cafe Cookbook (Hardcover)
As a reader of Daniel Young's New York Daily News restaurant reviews, one of the things that has always impressed me is the drama he is able to convey: of great food presented flawlessly, of heightened expectations and dashed hopes, and the 8 million (or so) stories that are unfolding in that Naked City.The happy news is that Young's singular touch, as unique as Lubitsch's, has survived the Atlantic crossing and is flourishing in Paris. The Ernst Lubitsch reference is not used lightly. Each restaurant, each review, each meal, each recipe has its own scenario and is paced like a good movie. And the recipes are so good, your script will be guaranteed a happy ending. The Paris Cafe Cookbook is book of meals to be made with love and shared with those you love and about a city that Daniel Young loves dearly. This wonderfully written, beautifully photographed and illustrated hommage to the City of Lights is must for all who love Paris, and, by extension, all who love life.

Excellent Recipes,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Paris Cafe Cookbook (Hardcover)
The recipes from the book are truly delightful. I've made several of them over the past two years. This book is well-written and does justice to a cook outside France, by providing reasonable substitutions. Once while in Paris, I decided to compare the recipe results against the actual dishes at the cafes in the book. Surprisingly, the food tasted and looked very similar. The desserts are especially delicious - Mousse au Chocolat, Profiteroles au Chocolat, Peach Cake with Strawberry Sauce, Creme Brulee, Pear Clafoutis ... ummm!
