The Book

Take the sweet journey off the pages and into reality

The Best Patisseries in Paris

Whether you let it lead you as you stroll the picturesque streets of the City of Light or guide you on a calorie-free armchair journey at home, my book is a great way to get to know Paris and its magnificent culture and history. I promise you a sweet adventure—one that you can even turn into reality. The book takes you behind the

scenes of the Parisian world of pastries and chocolate and introduces you to some of the best pastry chefs and chocolatiers. And to end on a sweet note, take it into the kitchen and try your hand at a small sample of classic French desserts thanks to recipes developed by acclaimed pastry chef Miki Shemo.
