From the #1 New York
Times bestselling author of French
Women Don’t Get Fat comes a memorable look at the French appetite for
oysters, the characters who harvest and serve them, and the compelling reasons
why we should all enjoy them.
Meet Paris Oyster
is an engaging exploration of the Parisian love affair with the world’s most
sensuous shellfish. It centers on Huîtrerie Régis, a tightly packed oyster bar
in the heart of the City of Light, with an opinionated owner and a colorful
cast of regulars. Part cultural journey, part cookbook, and part slice-of-life
play, this book introduces readers to the appetites (gastronomic and otherwise)
of Paris and its people. Beyond Huîtrerie Régis, the French oystermen, and the
other characters in pursuit of the oyster, Mireille Guiliano shares information
on the best oysters around the world, their nutritional value, the best wine
pairings with them, and a dozen mouthwatering recipes that will have readers
craving, buying, and preparing oysters with confidence. So take a virtual trip
to Paris—indulge and enjoy!
