Mexican Food in Paris: Cooking with the Cowgirl Chef



Surely no one comes to France for Mexican food- in fact it's very difficult to find the ingredients you need to make it. That's what Ellise, aka the Cowgirl Chef found when she moved to Paris from Texas five years ago- her attempts to combat homesickness led to some hilarious stories and incredible recipes which are to be published soon in the forthcoming Cowgirl Chef Cookbook: Cooking in Paris with a Texas Accent.



I felt quite lucky to spend the last week of my time in France at work, on location, in Paris to direct the photo shoot for the cookbook. It was great to spend lots of time with Ellise, cooking and shooting at her home with brilliant photographer Steve Legato, and to see a little bit of Paris too. 


Ellise's book, like her blog, cowgirlchef.com is filled with funny stories and truly delicious recipes. It was a delight to spend the week with her and sample her food.
