'Bistronomy' is conquering Paris dining
Paris, March 28 (DPA) Something has changed at those simple, inexpensive, often boisterous bistros that made Paris the world's capital of culinary tourism - the food. The reason is that a number of young chefs, fresh from their apprenticeship with haute cuisine masters, today prefer to exercise their talents in the casual atmosphere of a bistro, rather than face the expense, pressure and fierce competition of vying for a Michelin star. As a result, fewer Paris bistros are today a destination for people who want "relaxed, restorative, everyday chow," as the late RW Apple once described it. Instead, you can now enjoy such dishes as haddock carpaccio a l'orange and juniper, veal kidney fricassee and salsify with gingerbread, and truffle ice cream, but in a casual bistro atmosphere and usually for only 28 to 45 euros ($37 to 60) for a three-course menu.
Spa cuisine a celebration of food that is healthy
Losing weight doesn't have to be a diet of bland food items as a couple of local chefs are producing exciting and flavorful dishes that are big on creativity and low on calories, as Yang Di reports. As more people continue to make the connection between wellness of mind and body, a few city spas are finding themselves at the forefront of this growing trend with its natural emphasis on body treatment and nutrition. An important component of this concept is spa cuisine consisting of light, healthy and nutritious dishes. Modern spa cuisine is not about dieting or weight-loss programs but rather a celebration of what is good and natural. Today's spa cuisine is as multi-disciplined as any of the culinary arts - and as varied as a spa treatment menu. The creative and appetizing menus at spas around the world reflect the chef's culinary expertise and personal influences, rivaling gourmet restaurants.
