Bonjour! Step into a summer evening in Paris—no passport required. Judith Zackson is opening her home to host our Summer in Paris potluck. We’re channeling chic bistros, vibrant markets and romantic cafés as we savor dishes inspired by some beloved French cookbooks.

To join the fun, please choose a recipe from one of these books and bring enough for everyone (40 tasting portions):

• Lunch in Paris: A Love Story, with Recipes by Elizabeth Bard – a memoir-cookbook blending romance with French cuisine. It’s filled with mouth‑watering recipes such as summer ratatouille, swordfish tartare and molten chocolate cakes hachettebookgroup.com.

• My Paris Kitchen by David Lebovitz – over 100 recipes from his Paris kitchen, plus stories about cafés, bakeries and the cultural quirks that make Paris delicious davidlebovitz.com.

• Tasting Paris: 100 Recipes to Eat Like a Local by Clotilde Dusoulier – a culinary love letter to modern Paris, featuring 100 recipes (breakfast to late‑night snacks) that reflect classic and contemporary Parisian food with influences from immigrant communities cnz.to

French wines and a signature cocktail will set the mood, but your dishes are the stars of the evening! 

Our Gourmet Club’s mission is to foster a love of food and cooking, provide opportunities for culinary exploration, and build community—so we can’t wait to sample your Parisian creations.

Please RSVP by August 23rd so we can plan accordingly. Use the club’s event page to register:
