Barbara-jo's latest edition of the reading club celebrates both the culinary and literary traditions of one of her favourite cities with a four-volume tribute to Paris.

After a welcoming dinner, guests were introduced to a series of books that include The Flaneur. Writer Edmund White's critically-acclaimed work on the pleasures of strolling through the City of Light. White's book will be followed by Luke Barr's Provence 1970, the James Joyce classic Ulysses and Gloria Diliberto's Paris Without End.

As always, resident chef Glenys Morgan will prepare a special menu designed to compliment each work. Paris on the page and on the plate. Who could ask for anything more?
