Book Paris-Tokyo my love ⋅ Editions de la Martinière

One Sunday, Dorothée Perkins meets a Japanese woman in a kimono on the platform of a subway station. This was the start of a long list of questions. Is she just passing through, or does she live in Paris? What's in her fridge? Why do our two countries and our two cuisines attract each other so much? Dorothée went to meet Japanese people in France and French people who are passionate about Japan, to ask them about their backgrounds, what they eat every day and what links us. In this book, you'll discover a baker in Montmartre, Hiroko's bentos, a Madame Eiffel in kimono, Tomoji's bouquets, Mathilda's mochis, a sumo club a stone's throw from the Marais, and a Breton sushi master. Some thirty Japanese and French people with a fondness for Japan share 60 family recipes that are both mixed and accessible, and bear witness to the way in which we embrace another culture, without ever totally distancing ourselves from the taste of our roots.
