If there's a fork in the road, have some ratatouille
They say the way to a man's heart is through food, but love food is not just for dudes. This week's book, by Elizabeth Bard, combines French food and romance in a such a delicious way, our stomachs went all heart-eyes emoji. The book is Lunch in Paris, A Love Story with Recipes. We work our way through this endearing story talking about our favorite comfort foods, love and sex — not necessarily in that order. Bard is an American journalist who met her future husband in France. She tells the story of how they fell in love with each other and how she learned to love her new home country. She also shares a few of her favorite recipes. While in France, she learned sometimes you win, sometimes you lose and sometimes you take your anger out on hapless vegetables and make French onion soup. In this episode, we learned a few things about French culture — are the French really terrible at improv? And tackles stereotypes — are women who love food better at sex? *Cue the Flashdance lobster-eating scene* And can you fall in love over a plate of sausage? Come along with us as we find out.
