La Cocotte: Foodie bookstore with taste
Dec 5th, 2007 by Carrie
When you’re on the cover of Elle à Table, and the December issue at that, you know that something good is cooking in the pot. Hardly open long enough for most of us to make a proper soufflé, La Cocotte already has swinging events for the wee and old, not to mention their own line of tea towels and aprons (printed on that oh so fashionable and retro toile du jouy) but they also sell homemade sweets and of course, lest one forget, books. I guess that’s what you get when you put four smart cookies together. I had the pleasure to meet the lovely Rachel (that’s her on the Elle à Table cover) the other night and she gave me the rundown on her “biscocottie” au dulche de leche. Silly me forgot to try one, so I guess I’ll have to pop by again soon. Biscocottie, 1,50€ for a pack of three

Hey Carrie,
It was great meeting you too! You’ll definetly have to pop by for some biscotti and we have limited edition christmas biscuits packaged in a handmade “very bling” gold origami box. You’re have to try those too
See you soon,
Rachel

I read about this shop on the Net a few weeks back and figured it would be a big hit! I’m not surprised that they got a big push from Elle à table… And I’ve been meaning to make it out to the shop for a visit — hopefully one day soon!

Hi !
I really enjoy your blog a lot !! I have read tons of articles on this boutique and I’ll probably visit them next tuesday. The Paul Bert street is really interesting for foodies, I’ll write a post soon about it.
