Food In Paris At Moderate: This leads me to remind you that innumerable little holes-in-the-wall serve very good food in Paris at moderate cost, because French patrons, down to the humblest levels, expect good food and will not patronize a place that fails to provide it. Everyone with a drop of explorer's blood in his veins loves to explore Paris restaurants, to find and cherish choice addresses, revealing them only to trusted friends. To you, as trusted friends of this explorer, I'll reveal one typical place and address, the little restaurant at 19 rue des Canettes, close to place St-Germain-des-Pres, though this is no better than scores of other "finds."
CHILD, Julia (1912- ), American food expert, author, and television personality. She was born Julia McWilliams in Pasadena, Calif., on Aug. 15, 1912. She graduated from Smith College in 1934 and worked with the OSS in Ceylon during World War II. At the time of her marriage to Paul Child in 1946 she knew little about cooking, but during the Childs' six-year stay in Paris, she attended the Cordon Bleu cooking school and acquired a wide knowledge of French cuisine. With two friends she began L'ficole des Trois Gourmandes in Paris and, also with them, wrote Mastering the Art of French Cooking (1961). The book's success led in 1963 to Mrs. Child's popular American television series on preparing French food.
The Selective Shopper on the Prowl Paris is a shopper's heaven, especially if the shopper is on the distaff side. It is an expensive heaven, in these days, notably excepting perfumes, which are far cheaper in Paris than in America, but the cost doesn't seem to frighten tourists away. Paris est toujours Paris. |
