Vendredi 22 fevrier Festival du Livre Culinaire
Antiquarian cookbook sellers too.
Like this home cook book
There are far more kids cookbooks abroad than in the US evidently. No wonder French tastebuds are advanced if they learn to boil water while still in shorts.
Gorgeous cookbooks of every region in the world.
Attend any conference or fair in Europe and you'll see attendees dragging wheelie suitcases for the heavy catalogs handed out. Who knew?
Any cookbook expo has to have cooking demos.
They were nonstop at the Salon du Livre Culinaire. A Japanese chef used every fin and scale in his presentation.
My favorite book of the show was a lush guide to London tea salons, Tea Time: London's Best Afternoon Teas by renown food photographer Jean Cazals.
Brought back memories of past tea cups I've painted.
It makes one want to rush off to the Eurostar and head for the nearest afternood tea with all the trimmings. One mustn't grumble. There are plenty of fine tea salons here in Paris, some with a view of the Eiffel Tower. The Paris Cookbook Fair was a splendid event.
Oh very pretty...looks like fun.

I love your opening sketch & the artwork after that. Great cover art.
ReplyDeleteI like the room full of blonds, too :)
Your paintings are soooo warm and personal. I LOVE looking at them :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much la berge... I hope I get back to painting still life's and tea cups again
DeleteI miss the serenity
My tongue is dragging the floor over your teacups pairing! Speaking of watercolor, after completing day 2 of my all-day05days-in-a-row watercolor workshop, I have decided I lack the stamina to be a true watercolorist. Have to get up very early, no time for my walk or yoga, work all day, whew! I don't know how you do it!
ReplyDeleteI ever wanted to be in Paris. I love that place. When I saw a movie, named - "midnight in paris", since then only I decided to visit there at least once. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Carol,
ReplyDeletethis is one wholly adorable post! I love the sketch at the top and your paintings. Your scenes are so ethereal and serene, as if right out of Baudelaire's dream voyage, "là, tout n’est qu’ordre et beauté,
luxe, calme et volupté!"
Love this post. What an event... Looks like a visual delight. I always love your teacup watercolors.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful events you get to! I would so love to go to a Parisian cookbook festival, a cookbook event anywhere is exciting, but in Paris? That would be fabulous. As ever I feel that you have picked out the highlights for us. I love the look of that London book too. It looks divine.
ReplyDeleteWhat IS it about cookbook graphics that just make you smile? Sounds like a wonderful event. And this is a delightful post!
