For a Parisian culinary fairy tale, turn to this enchanting volume." — Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Frank Barron’s vision of Paris is not only breathtaking and romantic, it’s delicious! Drawing palpable inspiration from the city’s history, its markets, and its many pastry greats, he offers a charming and practical guide to baking (and living!) à la Parisienne." — Lindsey Tramuta, author of The New Paris and The New Parisienne "A recipe book in which the generosity of American pastry blends brilliantly with French traditions. Creations inspired by the seasons and punctuated by the major holidays of the year, highlighted in perfect Parisian style." — Pierre Hermé “Sweet Paris is as much a love letter to the city of Frank Barron’s heart as it is a guide to making his beautiful pastries, all of which are elegant, none of which are fussy. Frank has a talent for making even the simplest cake look like a celebration – I love the way he piles fresh cherries on a loaf cake or the way he generously bunches strawberries on his Charlotte Rose.” — Dorie Greenspan, New York Times bestselling author of Baking with Dorie "Frank has a way of telling the most romantic stories. Through flowers, seasons and sweets, has given us his story of Paris, undeniably dreamy and delicious." — Jackie Kai Ellis, author of The Measure of My Powers “Frank captures the essence of contemporary Parisianisme in the most delicious way. A world in which French roots have infused international inspirations and fascinations to create unique contemporary flavors for sweet times. His seasonal journey is the promise of moments of wonder and fun discoveries.” — Apollonia Poilâne
