PastryParis is a collection of nearly 100 of the world's most delectable pastries photographed in one of the world's most beautiful settings. The pairings - often humorous and always arresting - offer a visual tour of this most sumptuous of cities, where art and beauty can be found in everything from doorknobs to petits fours, where desserts are taken as seriously as music, sculpture, and painting. And, if, like a Parisian, you feel that the only rational way to defeat temptation is to yield to it, you'll find the addresses of the pâtisseries where each pastry is created, as well as a description and a cultural or culinary anecdote about its origin and history. Part travel guide, part homage to the visual art and design of French pastry, part food fantasy, Pastry Paris is the perfect small indulgence for Francophiles and foodies; people who have been to Paris or other who long to go there; and people who dream of eating dessert all day long. You'll never look at Paris in the same way. Isbn 9781892145949
