Inhalt/Kritik

Kritik
Once again, Vérant lavishes us with the continuation of the intriguing story of Chef Sophie. This book is a sheer delight full of twists and turns, family and food, love and romance, and of course, plenty of la vie en France. Janice MacLeod, New York Times best selling author of Paris Letters

"With a colorful medley of characters and ingredients, Sophie Valroux s Paris Stars is a culinary delight. One can t help but root for this ambitious young chef as she overcomes unimaginable obstacles to reach for her dreams. With heart and charm, author Samantha Vérant delivers once again!" Nicole Meier, author of The Second Chance Supper Club

Pitting old dreams against new experiences, this rich and vibrant novel, packed with lush descriptions of countryside life, mixed with Parisian glamour, and sprinkled with intrigue, will appeal to foodies, Francophiles, and fans of Mary Simses' The Irresistible Blueberry Bakeshop & Café. Booklist

"Chef Sophie is at it again with her passion for food that will make you wish you could hop the next flight for France and her desire to have it all. But in true Vérant fashion, Sophie must first run the gamut of what she thinks she wants and what she really wants. Vérant pulls off Sophie Valroux s Paris Stars with all the grace and style we have come to expect from this talented author." Barbara Conrey, USA Today Bestselling Author of Nowhere Near Goodbye

"Vérant is a masterful storyteller with a special knack for weaving mouthwatering menus into her storyline and bonus: she generously shares her recipes in the back of the book." Lori Nelson Spielman, bestselling author of The Star-crossed Sisters of Tuscany

Smart, delightful, and dare I say? downright delicious, Sophie Valroux s Paris Stars has all the right ingredients. Samantha Vérant has captured the very best of France, and women s fiction, in her compulsively readable novel. Highly recommended. Camille Pagán, bestselling author of Don t Make Me Turn This Life Around

Vérant cooks up another winner in the Valroux series (after The Secret French Recipes of Sophie Valroux). Vérant s loving and luscious descriptions of delightful dishes will whet readers appetites, and her heroine s spirit and pluck feel alive on the page. This can easily be read as a delightful standalone. Publishers Weekly

A deuxième plat of Sophie? Délicieux! KJ Dell Antonia, New York Times bestselling author of The Chicken Sisters

"Sophie Valroux's Paris Stars has all of my favorite things: French chateaus, mouth watering food descriptions, and romance. Merci beaucoup, Samantha Verant!" Sam Tschida, author of Siri, Who Am I?mehr

Autor

Samantha Vérant is a travel addict, a self-professed oenophile, and a determined, if occasionally unconventional, at-home French chef. She lives in southwestern France, where she's married to a sexy French rocket scientist she met in 1989 (but ignored for twenty years), a stepmom to two incredible kids, and the adoptive mother to a ridiculously adorable French cat. When she's not trekking from Provence to the Pyrénées or embracing her inner Julia Child, Sam is making her best effort to relearn those dreaded conjugations.
