Packing her bags for a new life in the world's most romantic city, Elizabeth is plunged into a world of bustling open-air markets, hipster bistros, and size 2 \u003cspan style='\"font-style:' italic\u003efemmes fatales\u003c\/span\u003e. She learns to gut her first fish (with a little help from Jane Austen), soothes pangs of homesickness (with the rise of a chocolate soufflé), and develops a crush on her local butcher (who bears a striking resemblance to Matt Dillon). Elizabeth finds that the deeper she immerses herself in the world of French cuisine, the more Paris itself begins to translate. French culture, she discovers, is not unlike a well-ripened cheese: there may be a crusty exterior, until you cut through to the melting, piquant heart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeppered with mouth-watering recipes for summer ratatouille, swordfish \u003cspan style='\"font-style:' italic\u003etartare\u003c\/span\u003e, and molten chocolate cakes, \u003cspan style='\"font-style:' italic\u003eLunch in Paris\u003c\/span\u003e is a story of falling in love, redefining success, and discovering what it truly means to be at home.
