For me a trip to Paris usually means a scramble to eat as many fabulous meals as I can. This time was slightly different, given my many and various food limitations, which is one reason I chose to stay in an apartment, allowing me the ability to prepare meals at home -which we did for all breakfasts, most lunches and some dinners. Going to the French market is always fun for me and Izzy got a kick out of helping me select the ingredients for our meals..from gorgeously sweet grape tomatoes to sparkling red currants.

As you can see, I didn't really do any heavy duty cooking but more of an assemblage - salads, pate, bread and fruit - and one pasta dinner.

Our new Italian friends wondered where we would eat better, in Italy or in France. They were certain the food is better in Italy. What do you suppose they will say now?

My mom and I went to Paris when I was younger as a mother-daughter bonding trip in high school. We did the same thing: rent an apartment and put together smaller light meals. Love it!
