A Parisian Tart: Spilled Milk #333

3 weeks ago | andrewzimmern.substack.com | Andrew Zimmern

Let us begin, as all great French culinary accidents do, with two sisters, a misplaced apple and a frying pan full of hubris. The tarte Tatin—that gloriously upturned, caramel-kissed, rustic seductress of the dessert world and my personal favorite dessert—was not so much invented as rescued from disaster with typical Gallic flair.
Paris Part Deux: Spilled Milk #332

Last week, we dove into Paris, and this city is so important from a food and travel standpoint, we continue today with some more food thoughts and my hotel ideas. I mentioned La Tour d’Argent earlier, and I want to get my take on paper here. LTD is in many ways the essence of old Paris, (literally) perched like a gilded gargoyle above the Seine with its duck press, silver domes and a wine list that could seduce a monk. So why didn’t it make my list last week? Because love is complicated.

Paris Dining and Shopping Guide: Spilled Milk #329

Paris, France: The city where even the pigeons seem to eat better than most tourists and where the word “bistro” has more nuance than Season 1 of Stranger Things. It's a place that worships food with the same zealous fervor we Americans reserve for Wi-Fi, reality TV and iced coffee. If you're after a list of places that actually live up to the ethos of Parisian culinary supremacy, I’ve got you.

Since we are celebrating the Italian islands this week, especially Sardinia, I wanted to make my family’s favorite weeknight meal, fregola with shrimp and peas. The prep takes about 20-25 minutes, and the cook time takes about the same, but some of the prep is done during the cook time, so I consider this an easy meal that perfectly encapsulates the stunning flavors of spring in the Italian isles. Fregola is a rustic Sardinian pasta that I obsess over, the island’s unsung culinary hero.
