It begins in a tiny bedsit near the Bastille. Newly arrived from London, Rachel Khoo is trying to make a life for herself in Paris, carrying a British, Chinese-Malaysian and Austrian background, while juggling odd jobs, culinary school and persistent doubts about where she belongs.

The book follows her years in the city: studying French patisserie, scraping by on short-term work, chasing food ideas and creative projects, and slowly finding confidence through trial, failure and curiosity. Almost without noticing, a series of small dinner parties in her flat plants the seed for what would later lead to her international bestselling cookbook and TV series, The Little Paris Kitchen.

Part memoir, part food writing, this illustrated book pairs personal stories of life in Paris with recipes inspired by the city, celebrating resilience, curiosity and the power of small beginnings.
