Pastis Roswell Welcomes Local Author Elizabeth Cooke

Wednesday, July 20, 6 PM, Elizabeth Cooke, an award-winning local author will celebrate her new book, The Hotel Marcel Dining Club, and her love of Paris at the wonderful French restaurant, Pastis Roswell. She will offer complimentary signed copies of her book to all guests that evening.

The Hotel Marcel Dining Club shows Paris in all its glory and at its most delicious with “A Baker’s Dozen Recipes for the Emotions” included at the end of the book. In an excerpt from Chapter 26 of The Hotel Marcel Dining Club, the author pays tribute to her beloved city after the terrorist attack:

Paris, the city of romance is challenged again, but the romance, the delight in it, is not forgotten. Never! Parisians live the past in the present, and yet the future beckons, and here, where enlightenment was born, where the Western world began, the city’s life force will evoke an even greater passion to live a life of joy. Paris promises to smile again.

Vive Paris et Bon Appetit!
