Return to Paris is an extraordinary coming-of-age story that charts the course of Colette\'s culinary adventures -- replete with expertly crafted recipes and family photographs.
The streets of Paris soon become Colette\'s own as she navigates the outdoor markets and café menus and emerges into her new, gastronomical self.
Taken under the wing of Mademoiselle Georgette, the family chef, she develops a taste and talent for French cooking.
