"The Ethnic Paris Cookbook has a great selection of ethnic dishes with well-written recipes and witty and helpful drawings of ingredients and finished dishes. Also, for lucky tourists, there are names and addresses of the Paris restaurants that feature the dishes."—Jacques Pepin, chef, cookbook author, and host of his own PBS-TV show

Paris has become as important on the ethnic cuisine circuit as London or New York.  Travelers return with food memories not of cassoulets and crêpes, but of Southeast Asian Bo La Lot and Middle Eastern Namoura.  The multitudes of immigrants who populate the city – Algerians, Moroccans, Vietnamese, Cambodians and Lebanese, to name a few –provide a kaleidoscope of unexpected tastes and flavors for visitors.  Now, for the first time, epicureans and Francophiles can bring the French melting pot to their kitchens with The Ethnic Paris Cookbook by Charlotte Puckette and Olivia Kiang Snaije. 

The authors selected and adapted more than 100 recipes from internationally renowned chefs such as Fatema Hal of the Mansouria restaurant (whose line of Moroccan food products are sold around the world) and Rougui Dia of the Petrossian restaurant. In addition to its delectable recipes, The Ethnic Paris Cookbook features original color drawings by Paris-based artist, Dinah Diwan, and the addresses of top ethnic restaurants, corner shops, and markets in Paris.
