La Cocotte
The longer I live in Paris, the more it surprises me that I’m constantly discovering awesome new places. Last weekend – thanks to my friend Rachel Khoo‘s book event – I was introduced to the cutest bookstore in all of France, La Cocotte (5 Rue Paul Bert, 11eme). Devoted primarily to food/cook books, the shop is a delightful spot for great design finds as well. Rachel’s new book – Pates a Tartiner, all about spreads – fit in perfectly in the atmosphere. I also love that the book styling is by my friend Elodie Rambaud, and I was lucky enough to meet up with the photographer, Keiko Oikawa, as she passed through Paris this month. Rachel’s book Barres de céréales : Muesli & granola, is just as cute – so I picked up a copy of both while I was there last week.
Tomorrow (Sat, Sept 25), David Lebovitz will have his own book signing at La Cocotte from 3-5pm. (In case you missed my video with David this summer, check it HERE!). And if David isn’t enough to entice you, there will be wine and treats, and the chance to win a gift certificate for a walking tour with Context Travel. Trust me, food related book events are the best!

Oh, I wish I could be a Daveed’s Parees book signing tomorrow. I met him at a book signing in San Francisco. What a treat!

I love Keiko’s work. Her photographs are fantastic and her edible creations so delectable! :)
