Review Quotes:
Early praise for Moveable Feasts:

"A deep dive into a city you thought you knew, revealing something much more complex. Newens is the perfect companion, curious and knowledgeable. A joy and an education for anyone who loves Paris."--Diana Henry, author of From the Oven to the Table

Review Quotes:
"A delicious journey through Paris. Chris Newens shows us the city from a fresh, modern and diverse perspective. He makes me want to follow his trail."--Sami Tamimi, chef and coauthor of Falastin

Review Quotes:
"A gorgeous romp through the city's culinary past and present that made me hungry for Paris. Fun, thoughtful and comprehensive."--Olivia Potts, author of A Half-Baked Idea

Review Quotes:
"There is a distinguished list of writers through time talking of their love of Paris and French cooking. Each new generation brings forth both the familiar as well as tucked away gems, both old and new, that show how a great city evolves constantly. Chris Newens does just that with this charming book on a latter-day Paris."--Jeremy Lee, author of Cooking

Review Quotes:
"An enchanting Waltzer ride around Paris' twenty districts, each of their hunger-inducing stories beautifully told with wit and intrigue. An absolute must read for Paris lovers everywhere."--Carolyn Boyd, author of Amuse Bouche

Review Quotes:
"A homage to the vibrant multicultural city of today, Hemingway's Paris, and the City of Light across all the ages, this joyful delicious book is a feast for all the senses."--Ned Palmer, author of A Cheesmonger's Tour de France

Review Quotes:
"Transporting the reader from the dazzling heights of Parisian fine dining to market stalls and kebab shops, this culinary Odyssey through the city of lights is both fascinating and wonderfully entertaining. For anyone who has been to Paris, it will make you want to return, and for those who have yet to visit, it will inspire you to book your tickets. Moveable Feasts is an utter delight."--Ferdia Lennon, author of Glorious Exploits

Review Quotes:
"A fascinating approach to Paris, multicultural and varied. It made me want to get on a Eurostar immediately."--Annie Gray, author of The Bookshop, the Draper, the Candlestick Maker

Review Quotes:
"Food writer Newens takes a charming tour of Paris by way of its rich and varied cuisines. The result is a colorful portrait of a culturally rich city and its diverse histories."-- Publishers Weekly

Review Quotes:
"This is stellar food writing, combining a guide to Paris, a cookbook, and history with self-deprecating descriptions of the author's own cooking and interviewing. Although the title is a nod to Hemingway, Newens' vivid, witty characterizations and interest in people and food will especially delight those who enjoy Calvin Trillin's writing. A fascinating portrait of the enduring, evolving cuisines--and spirit--of Paris."-- Booklist
