Paris Quinoa

French Girl is arriving in NYC this evening. She's staying for the weekend! She's bringing us fancy AOC Lentille verte du Puy
Fr Girl made us her own recipe of lentille+parsley+smoked salmon+boiled egg on Jour du Macarons and we've never looked back. We're hooked.
You could say Paris is as inundated with lentille + quinoa as New York was with leggy models last week.
Love the packaging even in Hypermarche Carrfour...
If you're balancing a pastry regime you'll need a stop at Cojean for a salade de lentille bio et green apple right?
MIYOU is another one inside Le Bon Marche.Love their rectangular designer boxes - wish they were not plastic.
More Cojean - salade BCP - beets, celeri, pomme verte + pistache
Have you tried Bob's Juice Bar in the upper Marais?
74 rue des Gravilliers 75003
Yup, I had the salade feculents(?) tres yum (5.50 euros) and leaving me guilt-free to wolf down some Berko tarts.
Do lentilles mix with culture? oui bien sur at le expo Odilon Redon cafeteria
Quinoa makes it to a lunchtime ardoise/blackboardI haven't tried Couleurs de Ferme-I'm always racing to the Metro - 33 avenue de la Motte-Picquet, 75007

I tried Coco Cooks on rue de Seine 75006 - love it. Just a block from Patisserie Gerard Mulot...
So far I haven't seen quinoa or lentille macarons in Paris but you never know.

Whoda thunk chocolate bars with quinoa? Only in Paris.
BONJOUR PARIS LENTILLES/QUINOA!
et bon weekend!!

Paris Designer Fast Food

MIYOU Along with the surprise of so many Paris daddies...
MIYOU I am ever surprised by the innovations of Parisien designer 'fast' food or le fast-food gastronomiques.
MIYOU These newly designed boxes just keep coming...
MIYOU Even Monoprix has gone rectangular for take-away. Cleverly layered boxed salads are created by Chef Guy Martin (of 3-star Grand Vefour) for MIYOU of du Bon Marche, 2nd fl.
MIYOU Layering is key in designer fast-food. It distracts from the portion size. Is this the key to thin French Girls - layering?
MIYOU Even a sandwich bag is jazzed up...

MIYOU At Le Bon Marche cafe...
MIYOU The food does not come with instructions...
I discovered Restaurant OH! on 2 bvd Haussmann 75009
It was lunch. I was hungry. Pas cher. So why not try?
The food designs were aesthetically pleasing...
I got a layered salade de crevettes with grapefruit...
Plus a quinoa and salade du lentils. Miam Quinoa is HUGE in Paris and usually served in savory and delicious combinations.
OH! has a ready supply of the latest art magazines to peruse while you eat. And designerish colorful square blocks to sit on. BEAR didn't mind a bit. A stripped shirt is not obligatory..
Macarons easily fit into any designer fast food resto...
What's not aesthetically pleasing about these lovely symmetrical disks?
BONJOUR PARIS DESIGNER FAST FOOD!
