Review:

Praise for The Paris Neighborhood Cookbook
home cooks to the city s Arab Quarter; a simple but exotic salad of pineapple, coconut and pomegranate spiked with lime juice and a habanero chile transports readers to Paris African neighborhood; and the Asian Quarter can be sampled in a crisp Green Tea and Cilantro Martini. Loftus expertly supplements Couet s rustic dishes with color and black and white photos. For many, the culinary cornerstone of the book will be Couet s take on Parisian markets and street food, in which he offers tips on creating a menu for an impromptu picnic: a trio of marinated olives, pickled sardines, wine-cooked artichokes and stuffed camembert among them. Readers who have never set foot in the French capitol will feel like they ve just returned home after taking in this multifaceted cookbook.
Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Most of us will never have the opportunity to explore the City of Lights as widely or know it as intimately as does award-winning restaurateur Danyel Couet, but losing yourself in this enchanting book is the next best thing. Here, Couet reveals the gastronomic secrets of Paris s ethnic neighborhoods through a tantalizing collection of recipes and photographs. The recipes are invitingly brief, and many of them for example, the fragrant Punjabi Lentil Curry and the paprika and cumin-tinged Quick Couscous are wonderfully simple. But the truth is, this is one of those books you needn t even cook from to thoroughly enjoy.
Fine Cooking, "Books for Cooks" featured title --.

Paris, like all great metropolises, is a city of neighborhoods where newly arrived immigrants congregate together to preserve native traditions and establish systems of support with alien cultures. Within many of Paris' fabled arrondissements, enclaves of distinctly non-French cooking hold sway. Couet has collected typical ethnic recipes from these local markets, cafés, and restaurants. From the Marais, centuries-old host to a sizable Jewish community, come carrot kugel and potato blini. The Fifth Arrondissement's Greeks prepare fried squid. The Avenue d'Ivry is noted for its Vietnamese spring rolls. The Arab community near the Barbés Metro stop offers duck tagine. East Africans roast chicken rubbed with exotic spices, but the cooking methodology is still verifiably French. Couet also includes examples of provincial French cooking from some of the city's bistros and brasseries. The book brims with photographs of food and of Paris' streets and parks. --Booklist
