A Conversation with Mireille Guiliano
A walking ad for the FRENCH WOMEN DON'T GET FAT COOKBOOK Mireille met me for coffee on the rue du Cherche-Midi at
Le Rousseau. Adorably petite, she was wearing a long purple coat that worked magnificently for her-so very French. Having produced a big event in San Francisco for the monumentally successful FRENCH WOMEN DON'T GET FAT 6 years ago we had a lot of catching up to do as her life had changed dramatically since that book turned into a franchise.
The #1 national bestseller that launched a fabulous French Revolution about how to approach healthy living: the ultimate non
-diet book-now with more recipes.
My San Francisco book party with Mireille was the most successful ever-100 persons crammed into a space designs for 80 and we ran out of a large quantity of books. French women don't get fat, even though they enjoy bread and pastry, wine, and regular three-course meals. Unlocking the simple secrets of this "French paradox"-how they enjoy food while staying slim and healthy-Mireille Guiliano gives us a charming, inspiring take on health and eating for our times. For anyone who has slipped out of her Zone, missed the flight to South Beach, or accidentally let a carb pass her lips, here is a positive way to stay trim, a culture's most precious secrets recast for the twenty-first century. A life of wine, bread-even chocolate-without girth or guilt? Pourquoi pas?
MEET PARIS OYSTER is an engaging exploration of the Parisian love affair with the world's most sensuous shellfish. It centers on Huitrerie 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
For the oyster lover as well as the oyster newbie, "MEET PARIS OYSTER, A Love Affair With the Perfect Food", by Mireille Giuliano, is a happy sojourn along the byways of oyster eating. Along the way, the spirit of France and especially Paris, is charmingly revealed to you. You will learn the differences among the various French oysters, from the fine de claire to the pousse de claire, and where they come from, and the "farmers" who grow and harvest them. You will learn how to open them, season them (or not), and numerous wine pairings.

How to Eat an Oyster
just tip it back and slurp the oyster and when the oyster enters the mouth it's bit like French kissing a mermaid-very special.
Angels of the Resistance (and a Serial Killer) in Nazi-Occupied Paris
Brave women helped downed Allied flyers escape the Germans. But more than that, they showed Hitler's white nationalists they would not surrender, would not submit.
Dear Terrance. Just watched a repeat on C-Span 3 of Alex Kershaw discussing his book
Avenue of Spies. It seems like something you might find interesting. Your columns are heartening and much appreciated in the gloom and doom here of daily US news.
