WINNER OF THE JANE GRIGSON TRUST AWARDA BOOK OF THE YEAR IN THE FINANCIAL TIMES, OBSERVER AND THE WEEK'Thoroughly entertaining (and hunger-inducing)' The Times 'An inspiring feat of curiosity and appetite' Spectator Paris has a justifiable claim to be the centre of European gastronomy - but beyond its trademark terrasses and zinc-topped tables, what can its cuisine tell us about the city? Chris Newens, an award-winning food writer and long-time resident of the historic slaughterhouse quartier Villette, takes us on a delightful gastronomic journey around Paris' twenty spiralling arrondissements, seeking out, sampling and attempting to recreate a dish that represents each as it is today.Hemingway wrote that 'wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast'. From Congolese cat fish in the 18th to Middle Eastern falafels in the 4th, to the charcuterie served at the libertine nightclubs of Pigalle in the 9th, Newens lifts the lid on the city's ever-changing, defining and irresistible food culture.'A joy and an education for anyone who loves Paris' Diana Henry, author of From the Oven to the Table'A gorgeous romp through the city's culinary past and present that made me hungry for Paris' Olivia Potts, author of A Half-Baked Idea

Recenzii

Thrilling [and] lucid... Moveable Feasts is unassuming, full of authenticity
His writing is engaging, perceptive and clear [and] expands our sense of the city
An inspiring feat of curiosity and appetite
Thoroughly entertaining (and seriously hunger-inducing)
A deep dive into a city you thought you knew, revealing something much more complex. Newens is the perfect companion, curious and knowledgeable. A joy and an education for anyone who loves Paris
A gorgeous romp through the city's culinary past and present that made me hungry for Paris. Fun, thoughtful and comprehensive.
One of the best books of the year so far. Up there with Liebling, Hemingway and Orwell when it comes to capturing Paris and her food
Mr Newens' style is light and conversational, yet the themes of his book are grand - noble, even... Far more than a sermon on the art - and ardour - of French cooking, the book offers a searing social history... A must read.
More than A Moveable Feast, Newens recalls another culinary Paris chestnut, George Orwell's Down and Out in Paris and London... methodical and charming, Newens starts his research the old-fashioned way, by talking to strangers, waylaying Sri Lankan plongeurs on a sleeper train and sniffy haute bourgeoises after church
A delicious journey through Paris. Chris Newens shows us the city from a fresh, modern and diverse perspective. He makes me want to follow his trail
There is a distinguished list of writers through time talking of their love of Paris and French cooking. Each new generation brings forth both the familiar as well as tucked away gems, both old and new, that show how a great city evolves constantly. Chris Newens does just that with this charming book on a latter-day Paris
A must-read for anyone planning to go to Paris this summer, or indeed, ever. C'est si bon!
An enchanting Waltzer ride around Paris' twenty districts, each of their hunger-inducing stories beautifully told with wit and intrigue. An absolute must read for Paris lovers everywhere
A homage to the vibrant multicultural city of today, Hemingway's Paris, and the City of Light across all the ages, this joyful delicious book is a feast for all the senses
Transporting the reader from the dazzling heights of Parisian fine dining to market stalls and kebab shops, this culinary Odyssey through the city of lights is both fascinating and wonderfully entertaining. For anyone who has been to Paris, it will make you want to return, and for those who have yet to visit, it will inspire you to book your tickets. Moveable Feasts is an utter delight
A fascinating approach to Paris, multicultural and varied... It made me want to get on a Eurostar immediately
Newens is equipped with curiosity; honesty; an eagerness to try out new recipes; wry, self-mocking humour; modesty and friendliness... The flattened spiral map of the city comes alive, its snail shape uncurling into narrative , as Newens winds his way from the twentieth arrondissement to the first
A wonderful read... If you're visiting Paris anytime soon and intending to eat well, then you can't do without a copy of Moveable Feasts
A smart book about the myriad ways tradition gets upheld and subverted
