In the Fall 2008 Issue of Town & Country TRAVEL (on newsstands Aug. 5), the delightful Clotilde Dusoulier, creator of the beloved food blog Chocolate & Zucchini and author of two books, Chocolate & Zucchini and Clotilde's Edible Adventures in Paris (pictured, right), chronicled a recent meal at Le Jules Verne, the landmark restaurant in the Eiffel Tower.
A
native Parisienne, Clotilde recalled her childhood fantasies of what it
would be like to eat in this most famous of places. She discovers that,
since the kitchen was taken over by Alain Ducasse, its acclaim is much
deserved. As interested as we were by Clotilde's insights into Le Jules
Verne, we were equally as eager to discover what foodie spots she would
single out as her own personal "landmarks."
Her answers are perhaps a small taste of what one can expect from her new book, which she describes as "a window onto my Paris, this delicious stomping ground for the food enthusiast."
"It
is the companion I wish I had for every city I visit, pointing me to
the edible highlights and giving me the lowdown on the dining scene,
the best food-shopping haunts, and the locals favorites," Dusoulier
says.
