She graduated from the French Culinary Institute where she studied under Master Chefs Jacques Pépin, André Soltner, Alain Sailhac, and Master Sommelier Andrea Immer. While in New York, Laura cooked with some of the world's most highly acclaimed chefs including Mario Lohninger (Danube), Morimoto, Mark Franz & Emily Luchetti (Farallon), Michael Romano (Union Square Café), Mario Batali, Marcella Hazan, Jonathan Cartwright (White Barn Inn), Martin Heierling (Bellagio), Dave Pasternack (Esca), Richard Reddington (Redd, Auberge du Soleil), and the legendary Alice Waters (Chez Panisse). \r\n\r\nAfter working as the Back Kitchen Chef of Jacques Pépin's PBS cooking show, \"Fast Food, My Way\", Laura moved to France to cook her way around the country. She cooked at the Cannes Film Festival, then to the northwest corner of France, to Britanny, to cook on a lobster boat, then east to Paris to the world famous Pierre Hermé Patisserie where she made thousands of his macarons every day! Laura cooked for the fabulous Olivia de Havilland and interned at 3 Michelin Star Le Cinq under Chef Philippe Legendre and Pastry Chef Fabrice Lecleir. Laura was the executive chef and cooking instructor at the DaVinci Code chateau outside of Paris where she was on set during the filming of the movie. \r\n\r\nIn Fall 2007, Laura worked on Jacques Pepin’s most recent PBS television series as prop and food stylist. \"More Fast Food, My Way\" should air in the Spring of 2008. “My Keyboard for a Cutting Board ~ Adventures in a French kitchen v1.0”, Laura’s first book highlights her first three months cooking in France, was published in Summer 2006. Convivialité is her second book and will hopefully be published in the fall.\r\n\r\nLaura now splits her time between Paris and the San Francisco Bay Area doing private chefing, teaching cooking classes and leading market tours when in Paris.

He shares \u003ca href=\"http://www.mariagefreres.com/boutique/UK/vt+tea-history.html\">a little history\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the oldest beverage in the world, tea began its reign in China 5000 years ago and moved on to Japan, Persia, the Islamic world, Russia and then to Europe in the seventeenth century. In 1665, after King Louis XIV‘s doctors told him tea would benefit his digestion, the King sent brothers Nicholas and Peter Mariage to Persia and Madagascar, respectively, to sign trade agreements and gather up the magical stuff. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several generations of Mariages stayed true to the trade of tea importing and finally in 1854, Henri and Edouard Mariage commenced wholesaling to the restaurants and hotels of Paris. But despite the venerable looking, colonial design of the tea counter, this charming retail shop only opened in 1984 and currently, there are no more Mariage family members in the business. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/01/tea-mf2.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/01/tea-mf2.jpg\" alt=\"tea Mariage Freres\" title=\"tea Mariage Freres\" width=\"560\" height=\"334\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37771\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The French take their tea as they take their wine: quite seriously and Thè Mariage Frères prints up a \u003ca href=\"http://www.mariagefreres.com/boutique/UK/vt+the-golden-rules.html\">list of essential rules\u003c/a> to make their tea correctly, which might actually come in handy since their collection of teas include black, white and green varieties from over 30 countries. But their specialty is fragrant blends, created much like perfume, by combining aromas and tastes, selecting from hundreds of scents: including the leaves, flowers, bark, seeds, roots, leaf-oil and fruit of an entire arboretum of plants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a bit of a wait in line, Lila and I are seated in the elegant tea salon, with its custard yellow walls and potted plants, surrounded by stylish patrons and their tea-fueled chatter. We order sandwiches first: melted cheese with smoked salmon and a smoked chicken with creamy spread, both served on greenish matcha tea bread.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/01/mf-matcha-sandwich.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/01/mf-matcha-sandwich.jpg\" alt=\"Mariage Freres matcha sandwich\" title=\"Mariage Freres matcha sandwich\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37766\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> In fact, Mariage Frères has pioneered the art of cooking with tea and every dish on their menu incorporates some form of tea, from tea flavored jelly, to tea infused rice and vinaigrette to a tart topped with pears poached in hibiscus tea, and a chocolate cream pie featuring bergamot, the essence of Earl Grey. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/01/mf-fruit-tart.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/01/mf-fruit-tart.jpg\" alt=\"Mariage Freres fruit tart\" title=\"Mariage Freres fruit tart\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37767\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each table sports a few of their exclusively designed teapots, which encase the black or white porcelain in a silver shell to help keep the tea warm (without need for a British tea cozy). Over the years, I’ve enjoyed a number of their teas, (especially black teas with fruit, like peach, mango or black currant.) But today, Lila and I return to our first love, the intoxicating vanille des îles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/01/mf-teapot.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/01/mf-teapot.jpg\" alt=\" Mariage Freres teapot\" title=\" Mariage Freres teapot\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37763\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next morning, we are up early, exploring vintage clothing shops in the cobblestoned Montmartre neighborhood where we are staying. Lila notices the welcoming window of an adorable tea spot called \u003ca href=\"http://www.milk-lepicerie.com/html2/index.html\">MILK\u003c/a>, which stands for “Mum in her Little Kitchen.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No way we’re going to pass that up. So we head in for a mid-morning tea and toast that eventually leads to a decadent pistachio and chocolate fondant. The table is set with pots of homemade jam in flavors like strawberry mint or spiced clementine, plus a banana, date and coconut spread. The cozy space feels exactly like we’re sitting in someone’s 1960s kitchen, with Formica dinette sets in crayola colors and flowered dishes. Owner, Deborah Habib makes all the goodies daily in her kitchen in the back of the room. Her father is our server. Habib also sells cute accessories, arranged in niches around the room, which include a motley collection of paisley aprons, mushroom magnets and kitchen elves. Luckily, Lila has her camera along to capture the photogenic bric-a-brac.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/01/milk-collage.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/01/milk-collage.jpg\" alt=\"MILK collage\" title=\"MILK collage\" width=\"560\" height=\"574\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37758\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I thought this story was just going to be about Mariage Frères, but it seems to be expanding. So I tell Lila, “If we’re going do more than one tea salon, we need to do three or four.” Tea parties have actually been a recurrent theme in our lives. A china cabinet holding my grandmother’s collection of English bone china teacups and saucers resides in a treasured corner of my dining room. When she was little, Lila loved giving tea parties, first for her teddy bears and then for her friends. Sometimes, in the more turbulent teen years, a shared cup of tea from a flowery teapot could call a momentary truce on eye-rolling or nagging. Now that she is away at college in Canada most of the year, our tea sharing opportunities have dwindled. What could be better than a mutual quest for unique Parisian tea salons?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/01/fourmi-ailee.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/01/fourmi-ailee.jpg\" alt=\"la fourmi ailee\" title=\"la fourmi ailee\" width=\"300\" height=\"499\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37755\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lana, a Paris native and family friend, who is the same age as Lila, suggests our next destination, \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/la-fourmi-ailee-paris\">La Fourmi Ailée.\u003c/a> The robin’s egg-blue exterior of this intimate restaurant stands out amidst the historic buildings nestled in the shadow of Nôtre Dame. Its interior resembles something out of a fairy tale, with a whimsical painted ceiling of clouds, plenty of book-lined shelves, and a row of pre-loved teapots along the windowsill. Although a full lunch menu is available, we arrive after the kitchen has closed. The tea is good, but I find the pastries a bit odd: apple streudel with mushrooms?! It’s a sweet, funky place to sit and sip tea, especially if you are in your twenties, but my taste in Parisian tea salons runs more to gracious elegance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/01/fourmi.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/01/fourmi.jpg\" alt=\"la fourmi ailee teapots\" title=\"la fourmi ailee teapots\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37756\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We end the week in style, with a visit to a glorious tea salon in the spacious dining room of a 19th century mansion that is now a museum—\u003ca href=\"http://www.musee-jacquemart-andre.com/en/preparing-your-visit/restaurant-le-cafe-jacquemart-andre\">Musée Jacquemart-André\u003c/a>.

We drink Ceylon tea, perfumed with aromas of strawberry, cherry, raspberry and redcurrant. Outside the windows, massive stone lions guard the manicured garden. The tea is fragrant, the pastry perfect. Lila and I sigh contentedly.

In 1665, after King Louis XIV‘s doctors told him tea would benefit his digestion, the King sent brothers Nicholas and Peter Mariage to Persia and Madagascar, respectively, to sign trade agreements and gather up the magical stuff. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several generations of Mariages stayed true to the trade of tea importing and finally in 1854, Henri and Edouard Mariage commenced wholesaling to the restaurants and hotels of Paris. But despite the venerable looking, colonial design of the tea counter, this charming retail shop only opened in 1984 and currently, there are no more Mariage family members in the business. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/01/tea-mf2.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/01/tea-mf2.jpg\" alt=\"tea Mariage Freres\" title=\"tea Mariage Freres\" width=\"560\" height=\"334\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37771\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The French take their tea as they take their wine: quite seriously and Thè Mariage Frères prints up a \u003ca href=\"http://www.mariagefreres.com/boutique/UK/vt+the-golden-rules.html\">list of essential rules\u003c/a> to make their tea correctly, which might actually come in handy since their collection of teas include black, white and green varieties from over 30 countries. But their specialty is fragrant blends, created much like perfume, by combining aromas and tastes, selecting from hundreds of scents: including the leaves, flowers, bark, seeds, roots, leaf-oil and fruit of an entire arboretum of plants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a bit of a wait in line, Lila and I are seated in the elegant tea salon, with its custard yellow walls and potted plants, surrounded by stylish patrons and their tea-fueled chatter. We order sandwiches first: melted cheese with smoked salmon and a smoked chicken with creamy spread, both served on greenish matcha tea bread.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/01/mf-matcha-sandwich.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/01/mf-matcha-sandwich.jpg\" alt=\"Mariage Freres matcha sandwich\" title=\"Mariage Freres matcha sandwich\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37766\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> In fact, Mariage Frères has pioneered the art of cooking with tea and every dish on their menu incorporates some form of tea, from tea flavored jelly, to tea infused rice and vinaigrette to a tart topped with pears poached in hibiscus tea, and a chocolate cream pie featuring bergamot, the essence of Earl Grey. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/01/mf-fruit-tart.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/01/mf-fruit-tart.jpg\" alt=\"Mariage Freres fruit tart\" title=\"Mariage Freres fruit tart\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37767\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each table sports a few of their exclusively designed teapots, which encase the black or white porcelain in a silver shell to help keep the tea warm (without need for a British tea cozy). Over the years, I’ve enjoyed a number of their teas, (especially black teas with fruit, like peach, mango or black currant.) But today, Lila and I return to our first love, the intoxicating vanille des îles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/01/mf-teapot.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/01/mf-teapot.jpg\" alt=\" Mariage Freres teapot\" title=\" Mariage Freres teapot\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37763\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next morning, we are up early, exploring vintage clothing shops in the cobblestoned Montmartre neighborhood where we are staying. Lila notices the welcoming window of an adorable tea spot called \u003ca href=\"http://www.milk-lepicerie.com/html2/index.html\">MILK\u003c/a>, which stands for “Mum in her Little Kitchen.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No way we’re going to pass that up. So we head in for a mid-morning tea and toast that eventually leads to a decadent pistachio and chocolate fondant. The table is set with pots of homemade jam in flavors like strawberry mint or spiced clementine, plus a banana, date and coconut spread. The cozy space feels exactly like we’re sitting in someone’s 1960s kitchen, with Formica dinette sets in crayola colors and flowered dishes. Owner, Deborah Habib makes all the goodies daily in her kitchen in the back of the room. Her father is our server. Habib also sells cute accessories, arranged in niches around the room, which include a motley collection of paisley aprons, mushroom magnets and kitchen elves. Luckily, Lila has her camera along to capture the photogenic bric-a-brac.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/01/milk-collage.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/01/milk-collage.jpg\" alt=\"MILK collage\" title=\"MILK collage\" width=\"560\" height=\"574\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37758\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I thought this story was just going to be about Mariage Frères, but it seems to be expanding. So I tell Lila, “If we’re going do more than one tea salon, we need to do three or four.” Tea parties have actually been a recurrent theme in our lives. A china cabinet holding my grandmother’s collection of English bone china teacups and saucers resides in a treasured corner of my dining room. When she was little, Lila loved giving tea parties, first for her teddy bears and then for her friends. Sometimes, in the more turbulent teen years, a shared cup of tea from a flowery teapot could call a momentary truce on eye-rolling or nagging. Now that she is away at college in Canada most of the year, our tea sharing opportunities have dwindled. What could be better than a mutual quest for unique Parisian tea salons?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/01/fourmi-ailee.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/01/fourmi-ailee.jpg\" alt=\"la fourmi ailee\" title=\"la fourmi ailee\" width=\"300\" height=\"499\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37755\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lana, a Paris native and family friend, who is the same age as Lila, suggests our next destination, \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/la-fourmi-ailee-paris\">La Fourmi Ailée.\u003c/a> The robin’s egg-blue exterior of this intimate restaurant stands out amidst the historic buildings nestled in the shadow of Nôtre Dame. Its interior resembles something out of a fairy tale, with a whimsical painted ceiling of clouds, plenty of book-lined shelves, and a row of pre-loved teapots along the windowsill. Although a full lunch menu is available, we arrive after the kitchen has closed. The tea is good, but I find the pastries a bit odd: apple streudel with mushrooms?! It’s a sweet, funky place to sit and sip tea, especially if you are in your twenties, but my taste in Parisian tea salons runs more to gracious elegance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/01/fourmi.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/01/fourmi.jpg\" alt=\"la fourmi ailee teapots\" title=\"la fourmi ailee teapots\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37756\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We end the week in style, with a visit to a glorious tea salon in the spacious dining room of a 19th century mansion that is now a museum—\u003ca href=\"http://www.musee-jacquemart-andre.com/en/preparing-your-visit/restaurant-le-cafe-jacquemart-andre\">Musée Jacquemart-André\u003c/a>. Nélie Jacquemart and Edouard André were avid Italian art collectors as well as husband and wife.

We drink Ceylon tea, perfumed with aromas of strawberry, cherry, raspberry and redcurrant. Outside the windows, massive stone lions guard the manicured garden. The tea is fragrant, the pastry perfect. Lila and I sigh contentedly.

That's right, fudge, not brownies, and not the tourist-trap chocolate kind, either, but a much more Moroccan-minded mixture of dates, figs, almonds, and spices, plus a dusting of enough cannabis sativa to provoke \"euphoria and brilliant storms of laughter; ecstatic reveries and extensions of one's personality on several simultaneous planes are to be complacently expected.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, as the surrounding exhibit revealed, Stein and Toklas had a high tolerance for eccentricity, their own and those of the many genius Bohemians they cultivated and whose work they collected. \u003cem>Dinner,\u003c/em> therefore, is organized around the idea of a dinner party populated by an odd lot of history's eccentrics, half known (Virginia Woolf, Thelonious Monk, Billie Holiday, Hart Crane, Salvador Dali, Stein herself), half lost to footnotes, if that. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These quirky folk were too preoccupied by art, higher math, the invention of anti-gravity boots, the location of Shakespeare's bones, and more to give any thought to a menu; instead their imagined monologues, rants, and overlapping conversations were spoken and played by San Francisco writer Jesse Nathan (voice) and artist/musician Chris Janzen (guitar), with Tyler Cravines (drums) and Curtis Buettner (saxophone).\u003cbr clear=\"all\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe width=\"500\" height=\"314\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/riWylU5-DSA\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What's it like, this guest-by-guest performance in 14 parts? As if an all-guy free-jazz combo had hooked up with the poetry editor of McSweeney’s, poured a round of Red Bulls for a few choice members of Judy Chicago’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/eascfa/dinner_party/home.php\">The Dinner Party\u003c/a>, then set 'em loose (outnumbered two-and-a-half to one by a bunch of crazy dudes) at a Saturday-night free-for-all in the basement of \u003ca href=\"http://viracochasf.com/\">Viracocha\u003c/a>. Sometimes, like Stein's work, the effect was ravishing (especially the lyrical saxophone solos); other times, also much like Stein's work, a little of looping, loud, repetitive, and nearly-unintelligible business can go a long way. There's a reason this kind of stuff is usually performed in close proximity to a willing bartender. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, actually, it wasn't a bad thing when, three-quarters of the way through the show, Nathan's microphone suddenly went dead. (\"The kitchen has just blown up!\" he joked). As a team of stylish museum staffers scrambled to find a replacement, Nathan and Janzen took the chance to do an informal Q&A with audience members. The criteria for this imaginary party's guest list? First off, remarked Janzen, potential guests \"had to be dead.\" Then, they had to have walked that fine line between genius and madness. Some changed the language of art, music, literature, or dance forever; others had great potential or massive contemporary popularity, but were overtaken and sunk by their own obsessions. Drug addicts, provocateurs, two suicides by drowning, a mathematician who refused to bathe: hardly a cozy group to gather around the table, but certainly stimulating subjects for art. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time the microphone was restored, we knew a lot more about what was going on onstage. Or perhaps the coffee and chocolate had kicked in; whichever it was, it finally seemed like the kind of party at which Stein, Toklas and her own gleefully idiosyncratic cohorts would have felt right at home. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>On Mon., June 6th at 10AM, KQED's Forum with Michael Krasny discusses \u003ca>The Life and Work of Gertrude Stein \u003c/a> with Janet Bishop, curator of painting and sculpture at SF MOMA, and Wanda M.

(\"The kitchen has just blown up!\" he joked). As a team of stylish museum staffers scrambled to find a replacement, Nathan and Janzen took the chance to do an informal Q&A with audience members. The criteria for this imaginary party's guest list? First off, remarked Janzen, potential guests \"had to be dead.\" Then, they had to have walked that fine line between genius and madness. Some changed the language of art, music, literature, or dance forever; others had great potential or massive contemporary popularity, but were overtaken and sunk by their own obsessions. Drug addicts, provocateurs, two suicides by drowning, a mathematician who refused to bathe: hardly a cozy group to gather around the table, but certainly stimulating subjects for art. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time the microphone was restored, we knew a lot more about what was going on onstage.

Headed to a perfectly central location on the left bank, I planned my day: I would buy a handful of macarons at each bakery, then enjoy them in the sunshine while sitting along the river. The weather was topping out at 72 degrees that day, and I couldn't think of a better way to spend my afternoon than nibbling gourmet goodies in the Parisian sun. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2011/04/Laduree11.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2011/04/Laduree11.jpg\" alt=\"Laduree, Paris\" title=\"Laduree, Paris\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26384\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My first stop was Ladurée, where the scent of pure sugar wafted out the door and down the street to greet me at the corner, beckoning me to the shopfront. I was immediately swept away by an incredible assortment of pastries in all sizes and colors, including a selection of ten or so flavors of macarons and a handful of larger macarons that were three times the normal size. The decor was delightfully, classically \"French,\" or at least what this American girl thinks of when she dreams of French pastry from thousands of miles away in California. Think rich greens, blues and browns, pinstripes, and matching seafoam-green ribbons on every box. I felt like I was walking into a Parisian pastry fairy tale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2011/04/Laduree31.jpg\" alt=\"Laduree, Paris\" title=\"Laduree, Paris\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26386\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2011/04/Laduree21.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2011/04/Laduree21.jpg\" alt=\"Laduree, Paris\" title=\"Laduree, Paris\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26385\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The line was out the door, but no worry; that gave me plenty of time to gawk without looking like a loafer.

Headed to a perfectly central location on the left bank, I planned my day: I would buy a handful of macarons at each bakery, then enjoy them in the sunshine while sitting along the river. The weather was topping out at 72 degrees that day, and I couldn't think of a better way to spend my afternoon than nibbling gourmet goodies in the Parisian sun. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2011/04/Laduree11.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2011/04/Laduree11.jpg\" alt=\"Laduree, Paris\" title=\"Laduree, Paris\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26384\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My first stop was Ladurée, where the scent of pure sugar wafted out the door and down the street to greet me at the corner, beckoning me to the shopfront.

The decor was delightfully, classically \"French,\" or at least what this American girl thinks of when she dreams of French pastry from thousands of miles away in California.

Lots and lots of recipes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Granted, The Sweet Life in Paris was neither written nor is it marketed as a comprehensive guide to the sights and flavors of the city. Rather, it's more or less an organic extension of \u003ca href=\"http://www.davidlebovitz.com/\">Mr. Lebovitz's blog\u003c/a>, which chronicles his life and experiences as a San Francisco pastry chef who packed up everything he owned and moved to Paris-- and all the pleasures, pains, and frequent head-scratchings that accompany French Culture Shock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I refer to his book as a guidebook because that is precisely how I used it on my recent visit to his adopted city-- an entertaining, human, and extremely useful guide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, his chapter \"The Most Important Words to Know in Paris\" warns that one absolutely must say \u003cem>\"Bonjour Monsieur\"\u003c/em> or \u003cem>\"Bonjour Madame\"\u003c/em> to the first person one makes eye contact with in any store or restaurant or \"even in an elevator.\" It's a minute, but extremely important bit of information to share with Americans who are by nature accustomed to a thin veneer of anonymity when out in public. That and the knowledge that even the most feeble attempt by an American to speak French goes a very long way with Parisians. Having French-speaking abilities on par with a backwards two year-old, I found this comforting knowledge and entirely true in practice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I purchased a copy of \u003cem>The Sweet Life in Paris\u003c/em> the afternoon before leaving on my trip, hoping to read it on the flight over.

It started with the Norsemen pillaging and burning the town until they were bought off with a big chunk of land in the North (Normandy). Only to see those same Normans a couple of centuries later restyling themselves as Englishmen and setting the country afire during a little conflict known as The 100 Years War.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, of course, there were several plagues, internal revolts, sieges, and revolutions-- 1789, 1830, and 1848 (twice in three months), World Wars I and II, and a near-revolution in 1968.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But never did the city of Paris suffer more than during what the French refer to as \u003cem>L'Année Terrible\u003c/em>, 1870-1871.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Year in Review\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A sickly Emperor Napoleon III declared war on Prussia on July 19th, 1870, hoping to distract people from the problems at home in his dying Empire. It was a bad move, but one made with characteristically Gallic flair. The French were trounced, the Emperor was captured six weeks later at Sedan, and that was pretty much that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or so the Parisians thought. They celebrated the fall of the Empire with a lot of cheering and declared The Third Republic two days later. The war was lost, but at least it was over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or not. The Prussians, with the iron-willed, iron-fisted, all-around Iron Chancellor Otto von Bismarck forging policy, kept on coming. The French, Bismarck felt, needed to be taught a lesson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So they marched on Paris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Surrounding the city, the Prussians sought to starve Paris into capitulation. For five months, the only contact Paris had with the outside world was via hot air balloons floating up and over the enemy filled with letters and dispatches from those trapped inside. The only messages in came from an occasional carrier pigeon. Rats, horses, house pets and nearly every animal in the zoo (one exception being monkeys because, apparently, the Parisians embraced Darwinism) were consumed by the hungry Parisians in their effort to fend off starvation*. By the time the French surrendered, Germany had united over the near-dead body of France and declared itself an empire. At the palace of Versailles, of all places. Nice touch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that wasn't the worst part.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As happened so often in Paris, the working class sparked a revolt, leading to a government take-over. In a nutshell, The Paris Commune was set up, socialist reforms were attempted and things went generally crazy. The Tuilleries Palace was burned to the ground, the Vendome Column toppled, even Notre Dame barely escaped destruction-- it's benches had been piled up and doused with kerosene but was saved at the last minute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Commune ultimately failed-- stamped out by the what was left of the French government and army in the bloodiest moment of the city's history-- 20,000 Parisians were slaughtered in just one week alone. The city was shattered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or was it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What has always amazed me is the resilience of Paris. Each time it is beaten down, it seems to come back a little bit stronger. After a year of alienation, isolation, the pounding and ensuing humiliation by a stronger enemy, self-destruction, and thanks to a 5 billion franc war reparation bill, crippling debt, Paris rebounded into one of the most brilliant (or at least, fondly remembered) periods of its history-- \u003cem>La Belle Epoque\u003c/em>, which lasted nearly 43 years. Solidly, it returned to and confirmed its status as the cultural capital of Europe, if not the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's as though Paris can historically shake off its woes with its world-famous shrug.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So why the history lesson today? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, I'm coming out of my own \u003cem>p'tit année terrible\u003c/em>-- one that strangely mimics the year Paris faced, but on a much smaller, human scale. So I'm off to see how the Parisians manage it; to do a little shrugging of my own, you might say. I will eat and wander and observe the natives in a place that is more than likely Bismarck-free both in terms of the pastry and the guy who brought Paris to its knees. Or the one who brought me to mine, for that matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And maybe I'm hoping for a little \u003cem>belle époque\u003c/em> of my own to begin. 43 years? Yeah, I think that will do. That will do nicely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I will be back blogging June 19th.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>* On the bright side, the Parisians were never in any danger of running out of wine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bismarcks\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bismarck is the Canadian/American name for the German pastry Berliner, as in John F.

In a saucepan, bring milk to a boil. Turn off heat and stir in butter and sugar. Cool to lukewarm. Sprinkle yeast over the top of the milk mixture and leave it to bloom and reanimate for about 10 to 15 minutes, until it starts to foam up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2. Add this yeasty liquid to a large bowl in which the flour and salt have been patiently waiting. Stir and fold to combine into a sticky mess of dough. Cover with a damp, clean cloth and set in a warm place to rise for two hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3. With floured hands, turn dough onto a lightly-floured surface and roll to a 3/8-inch thickness. Cut into circles (I used a 3 1/2- inch cutter). Place them on a baking sheet or what-have-you and cover with the same damp cloth to rise for another 30 minutes or so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4. Fry the Bismarcks in 350° F vegetable oil or lard for 4 minutes. I find flipping them every 30 seconds helpful for some reason. Drain on a paper towel-lined rack to cool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5. If you are filling these pastries (and you should be or they're not Bismarcks), if you lack a pastry syringe, cut a small opening into the side of each bun and wiggle your knife or (what I used) scissor blade around the inside to create a small pocket into which the jam might find purchase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>6.

It started with the Norsemen pillaging and burning the town until they were bought off with a big chunk of land in the North (Normandy). Only to see those same Normans a couple of centuries later restyling themselves as Englishmen and setting the country afire during a little conflict known as The 100 Years War.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, of course, there were several plagues, internal revolts, sieges, and revolutions-- 1789, 1830, and 1848 (twice in three months), World Wars I and II, and a near-revolution in 1968.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But never did the city of Paris suffer more than during what the French refer to as \u003cem>L'Année Terrible\u003c/em>, 1870-1871.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Year in Review\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A sickly Emperor Napoleon III declared war on Prussia on July 19th, 1870, hoping to distract people from the problems at home in his dying Empire. It was a bad move, but one made with characteristically Gallic flair. The French were trounced, the Emperor was captured six weeks later at Sedan, and that was pretty much that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or so the Parisians thought. They celebrated the fall of the Empire with a lot of cheering and declared The Third Republic two days later. The war was lost, but at least it was over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or not. The Prussians, with the iron-willed, iron-fisted, all-around Iron Chancellor Otto von Bismarck forging policy, kept on coming. The French, Bismarck felt, needed to be taught a lesson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So they marched on Paris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Surrounding the city, the Prussians sought to starve Paris into capitulation. For five months, the only contact Paris had with the outside world was via hot air balloons floating up and over the enemy filled with letters and dispatches from those trapped inside. The only messages in came from an occasional carrier pigeon. Rats, horses, house pets and nearly every animal in the zoo (one exception being monkeys because, apparently, the Parisians embraced Darwinism) were consumed by the hungry Parisians in their effort to fend off starvation*. By the time the French surrendered, Germany had united over the near-dead body of France and declared itself an empire. At the palace of Versailles, of all places. Nice touch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that wasn't the worst part.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As happened so often in Paris, the working class sparked a revolt, leading to a government take-over. In a nutshell, The Paris Commune was set up, socialist reforms were attempted and things went generally crazy. The Tuilleries Palace was burned to the ground, the Vendome Column toppled, even Notre Dame barely escaped destruction-- it's benches had been piled up and doused with kerosene but was saved at the last minute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Commune ultimately failed-- stamped out by the what was left of the French government and army in the bloodiest moment of the city's history-- 20,000 Parisians were slaughtered in just one week alone. The city was shattered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or was it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What has always amazed me is the resilience of Paris. Each time it is beaten down, it seems to come back a little bit stronger. After a year of alienation, isolation, the pounding and ensuing humiliation by a stronger enemy, self-destruction, and thanks to a 5 billion franc war reparation bill, crippling debt, Paris rebounded into one of the most brilliant (or at least, fondly remembered) periods of its history-- \u003cem>La Belle Epoque\u003c/em>, which lasted nearly 43 years. Solidly, it returned to and confirmed its status as the cultural capital of Europe, if not the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's as though Paris can historically shake off its woes with its world-famous shrug.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So why the history lesson today? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, I'm coming out of my own \u003cem>p'tit année terrible\u003c/em>-- one that strangely mimics the year Paris faced, but on a much smaller, human scale. So I'm off to see how the Parisians manage it; to do a little shrugging of my own, you might say. I will eat and wander and observe the natives in a place that is more than likely Bismarck-free both in terms of the pastry and the guy who brought Paris to its knees. Or the one who brought me to mine, for that matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And maybe I'm hoping for a little \u003cem>belle époque\u003c/em> of my own to begin. 43 years? Yeah, I think that will do. That will do nicely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I will be back blogging June 19th.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>* On the bright side, the Parisians were never in any danger of running out of wine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bismarcks\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bismarck is the Canadian/American name for the German pastry Berliner, as in John F.

And delicious-- the unfilled pastry being light and airy and not especially sweet. Fill them with whatever you like, sweet or savory. Hell, toast one and use it to bookend a hamburger, while we're eating things named after German cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's a good thing Kennedy wasn't in Hamburg when he decided to make that speech.

In a saucepan, bring milk to a boil. Turn off heat and stir in butter and sugar. Cool to lukewarm. Sprinkle yeast over the top of the milk mixture and leave it to bloom and reanimate for about 10 to 15 minutes, until it starts to foam up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2. Add this yeasty liquid to a large bowl in which the flour and salt have been patiently waiting. Stir and fold to combine into a sticky mess of dough. Cover with a damp, clean cloth and set in a warm place to rise for two hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3. With floured hands, turn dough onto a lightly-floured surface and roll to a 3/8-inch thickness. Cut into circles (I used a 3 1/2- inch cutter). Place them on a baking sheet or what-have-you and cover with the same damp cloth to rise for another 30 minutes or so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4. Fry the Bismarcks in 350° F vegetable oil or lard for 4 minutes. I find flipping them every 30 seconds helpful for some reason. Drain on a paper towel-lined rack to cool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5. If you are filling these pastries (and you should be or they're not Bismarcks), if you lack a pastry syringe, cut a small opening into the side of each bun and wiggle your knife or (what I used) scissor blade around the inside to create a small pocket into which the jam might find purchase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>6. Put jam into a pastry bag with a plain tip. Place the tip into the pastry's hole and pipe in the jam until it starts to spill out the side like some mortal flesh wound.

Voila....!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's hard for me not to gush. I have found this oh so sweet culinary world to be acerbic so when one of the industry luminaries takes a moment to even acknowledge me much less spend time discussing careers, options, and advice, the feeling is near rapture. I'll try to rein it in to profound gratitude though I have no doubt some gushing will seep through the veneer. So enough about me, on with the fabulous Ms. D. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>I asked Dorie about her life in New York versus her life in Paris - how she lives the best of both worlds and her favorite aspect of each.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I love life in Paris, the rhythm of life, the ease of the city. It's simple to get together with friends here. Days seem longer, there's always time for friends. And, unlike when I'm in New York, I always have the urge to be outside here, on the streets, walking, exploring and discovering.\" 1971 marks her first visit to Paris with her husband, Michael. Her dream was to be here and the moment Dorie arrived in Paris, she knew she was meant to be here. She immediately decided that she would some day live in paris. Dorie never wavered from her goal and has spent the past 10 years living in both Paris and New York City. \"New York is about work, but I find it hard to work in Paris. It's easier to write in New York but so many of my ideas and creativity originate in Paris. My head explodes with ideas and creativity here in Paris.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What is it like working with The Greats? \u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I showed Dorie my sheet of questions where I had listed \"What is it like to work with Julia Child, Pierre Herme, Daniel Boulud?\" Dorie looked at it, hugged her arms and shook her head saying, \"It's hard to believe I worked with these three greats. It's hard to believe I worked with one of them, but three!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dorie spoke about Julia, Pierre and Daniel being natural teachers and mused if perhaps that wasn't a trait of all the greatest chefs? Not just a necessity of or part of the job of teaching your sous chef and so on down the brigade, but a higher sense of duty, like the doctors Hippocratic oath, compelling them to teach the next generation to preserve this tradition, this history in order to keep the cuisine alive. \"Il faut transmettre le savoir faire\" as they say, translating literally as \"one must transmit the know-how\" or carry on the traditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What was it like cooking with Julia Child?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I barely had the question out of my mouth when Dorie replied \"extraordinary\". \"All the cliches are true, she was extraordinary. Her warmth, generosity, incredible intelligence, her curiosity about the world - it was all extraordinary.\" Like everyone else who worked with Julia, Dorie discovered that the persona on television was exactly the same person live - full of \"warmth, generosity, curiosity and humor. Julia loved learning. She was a born teacher and also a shameless flirt.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before Julia moved to Santa Barbara, Dorie, Michael, and their tall, handsome son Joshua visited Julia in Cambridge. As they were headed out to lunch, Julia's assistant Stephanie Hersh suggested Dorie take Julia's walker warning Dorie that she wouldn't want to be responsible if Julia were to fall. Julia overheard this and replied, \"When I'm with a young man, I don't need a walker!\" With that she linked her arm around Joshua's and headed for the car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dorie lived in Cambridge for 8 weeks while working on the \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Baking-Julia-Knead-Flute-Savor/dp/0688146570/sr=8-3/qid=1168556864/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3/104-3357635-2455134?ie=UTF8&s=books\">\u003cb>Baking with Julia cookbook\u003c/b>\u003c/a> to accompany the series. Geoff Drummond, Julia's producer, initially recommended her to Julia and Julia immediately concurred, stating, \"I like the way Dorie writes recipes. She writes them just like I do.\" When Dorie spoke that last sentence, she put her hand over her heart, claiming \"What an honor!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point in the tv taping, Julia mentioned that something was wrong with her computer, so Michael and one of the show's tech guys went to look at it, which was upstairs in her room. Julia came in a few minutes later and, at 85 years old (!!), wanted to know exactly what was wrong and exactly how they had fixed it because if it happened again, she wanted to be able to fix it herself. Even at 85 years old, she was still inquisitive, curious and always learning. And as a testament to her whimsical sense of humor, her screen saver read: \"Creme Fraiche\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I asked Dorie how she met Julia. Dorie gave a cooking demo at Boston University after the release of her first book, Sweet Times. Her demo followed Julia's demo - \"not a place,\" according to Dorie, \"that any new author wants to be.\" At a dinner that evening that included Jacques Pepin, Dorie sat next to Julia. Julia asked her if she'd seen Dan Ackroyd's Saturday Night Live skit impersonating her. Dorie replied that she was probably the only person in the country who hadn't seen it so Julia stood up and re-enacted the entire routine for her! With a melancholy smile, Dorie reminisced, \"I miss her. I really, really miss her.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What is it like working with Pierre Herme?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"With Pierre there is an excitement to his teaching, to making others understand and see things that he sees, tastes, and feels in the cuisine. For Pierre, the word \"genius\" is so overused but Pierre is truly a genius - you see it in his ideas about perceptions of taste and texture and how he thinks about combinations. Pierre would always refer to the Three Ts - taste, texture, temperature. How he creates around these three is truly remarkable.\" I would like to humbly add a 4th - visual - because his creations are true works of art and one's mouth begins watering at the mere sight of them. Dorie claims to have graduated from the \"School of Working with Pierre Herme\" because he changed her whole way of looking at what makes food a pleasure. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dorie and Pierre met in 1993 while she was working on a story about chestnuts for the New York Times. Dorie wanted to learn about marrons glace (candied chestnuts) so she arranged for a meeting with Pierre. She brought along her husband Michael thinking it would be a quick interview and that they would then go on their way. Two hours later, Pierre and Dorie decided they were separated at birth while Michael claimed they were \"meant to meet.\" They had so much to talk about, the hours flew by. After that initial meeting, Dorie and Pierre stayed in touch and visited when Dorie was in Paris or Pierre was in New York. When \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Baking-Julia-Knead-Flute-Savor/dp/0688146570/sr=8-3/qid=1168556864/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3/104-3357635-2455134?ie=UTF8&s=books%20%20\">\u003cb>Baking with Julia\u003c/b>\u003c/a> was finished and Dorie was looking for her next project, Michael suggested she talk to Pierre about collaborating on a book.

Dorie declined, saying of course she wouldn't dream of interrupting their vacation. Pierre insisted she join them and said it would be the only time he had to work on the project. They drove to the west coast of France, to \u003ca href=\"http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcachon\">\u003cb>Arcachon\u003c/b>\u003c/a> south of Bordeaux, with crates of recipes in the trunk. They set up a very long table, literally on the beach with their toes in the sand, and hooked up a generator behind them to power their laptops. They sat in a row - Dorie, Pierre, Frederick, Michael - looking out on the Atlantic Ocean and the entire book was organized in those few weeks. Every morning they would go to the market then return for coffee. A few hours of work on the book would be followed with lunch. A return trip to the market for dinner would then be followed with Dorie and Pierre working by the light of one lamp until 1:00 am.

Voila....!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's hard for me not to gush. I have found this oh so sweet culinary world to be acerbic so when one of the industry luminaries takes a moment to even acknowledge me much less spend time discussing careers, options, and advice, the feeling is near rapture. I'll try to rein it in to profound gratitude though I have no doubt some gushing will seep through the veneer. So enough about me, on with the fabulous Ms. D. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>I asked Dorie about her life in New York versus her life in Paris - how she lives the best of both worlds and her favorite aspect of each.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I love life in Paris, the rhythm of life, the ease of the city. It's simple to get together with friends here. Days seem longer, there's always time for friends. And, unlike when I'm in New York, I always have the urge to be outside here, on the streets, walking, exploring and discovering.\" 1971 marks her first visit to Paris with her husband, Michael. Her dream was to be here and the moment Dorie arrived in Paris, she knew she was meant to be here. She immediately decided that she would some day live in paris. Dorie never wavered from her goal and has spent the past 10 years living in both Paris and New York City. \"New York is about work, but I find it hard to work in Paris. It's easier to write in New York but so many of my ideas and creativity originate in Paris. My head explodes with ideas and creativity here in Paris.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What is it like working with The Greats? \u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I showed Dorie my sheet of questions where I had listed \"What is it like to work with Julia Child, Pierre Herme, Daniel Boulud?\" Dorie looked at it, hugged her arms and shook her head saying, \"It's hard to believe I worked with these three greats. It's hard to believe I worked with one of them, but three!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dorie spoke about Julia, Pierre and Daniel being natural teachers and mused if perhaps that wasn't a trait of all the greatest chefs? Not just a necessity of or part of the job of teaching your sous chef and so on down the brigade, but a higher sense of duty, like the doctors Hippocratic oath, compelling them to teach the next generation to preserve this tradition, this history in order to keep the cuisine alive. \"Il faut transmettre le savoir faire\" as they say, translating literally as \"one must transmit the know-how\" or carry on the traditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What was it like cooking with Julia Child?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I barely had the question out of my mouth when Dorie replied \"extraordinary\". \"All the cliches are true, she was extraordinary. Her warmth, generosity, incredible intelligence, her curiosity about the world - it was all extraordinary.\" Like everyone else who worked with Julia, Dorie discovered that the persona on television was exactly the same person live - full of \"warmth, generosity, curiosity and humor. Julia loved learning. She was a born teacher and also a shameless flirt.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before Julia moved to Santa Barbara, Dorie, Michael, and their tall, handsome son Joshua visited Julia in Cambridge. As they were headed out to lunch, Julia's assistant Stephanie Hersh suggested Dorie take Julia's walker warning Dorie that she wouldn't want to be responsible if Julia were to fall. Julia overheard this and replied, \"When I'm with a young man, I don't need a walker!\" With that she linked her arm around Joshua's and headed for the car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dorie lived in Cambridge for 8 weeks while working on the \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Baking-Julia-Knead-Flute-Savor/dp/0688146570/sr=8-3/qid=1168556864/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3/104-3357635-2455134?ie=UTF8&s=books\">\u003cb>Baking with Julia cookbook\u003c/b>\u003c/a> to accompany the series. Geoff Drummond, Julia's producer, initially recommended her to Julia and Julia immediately concurred, stating, \"I like the way Dorie writes recipes. She writes them just like I do.\" When Dorie spoke that last sentence, she put her hand over her heart, claiming \"What an honor!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point in the tv taping, Julia mentioned that something was wrong with her computer, so Michael and one of the show's tech guys went to look at it, which was upstairs in her room. Julia came in a few minutes later and, at 85 years old (!!), wanted to know exactly what was wrong and exactly how they had fixed it because if it happened again, she wanted to be able to fix it herself. Even at 85 years old, she was still inquisitive, curious and always learning. And as a testament to her whimsical sense of humor, her screen saver read: \"Creme Fraiche\".\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I asked Dorie how she met Julia. Dorie gave a cooking demo at Boston University after the release of her first book, Sweet Times. Her demo followed Julia's demo - \"not a place,\" according to Dorie, \"that any new author wants to be.\" At a dinner that evening that included Jacques Pepin, Dorie sat next to Julia. Julia asked her if she'd seen Dan Ackroyd's Saturday Night Live skit impersonating her. Dorie replied that she was probably the only person in the country who hadn't seen it so Julia stood up and re-enacted the entire routine for her! With a melancholy smile, Dorie reminisced, \"I miss her. I really, really miss her.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What is it like working with Pierre Herme?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"With Pierre there is an excitement to his teaching, to making others understand and see things that he sees, tastes, and feels in the cuisine. For Pierre, the word \"genius\" is so overused but Pierre is truly a genius - you see it in his ideas about perceptions of taste and texture and how he thinks about combinations. Pierre would always refer to the Three Ts - taste, texture, temperature. How he creates around these three is truly remarkable.\" I would like to humbly add a 4th - visual - because his creations are true works of art and one's mouth begins watering at the mere sight of them. Dorie claims to have graduated from the \"School of Working with Pierre Herme\" because he changed her whole way of looking at what makes food a pleasure. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dorie and Pierre met in 1993 while she was working on a story about chestnuts for the New York Times. Dorie wanted to learn about marrons glace (candied chestnuts) so she arranged for a meeting with Pierre. She brought along her husband Michael thinking it would be a quick interview and that they would then go on their way. Two hours later, Pierre and Dorie decided they were separated at birth while Michael claimed they were \"meant to meet.\" They had so much to talk about, the hours flew by.
