Chefs Shaheen Peerbhai and Jennie Levitt brought Parisian friends together every Friday for a year with a park-friendly delicious spread of tartines, salads, fried chicken, pasta dishes, desserts and more. From there they opened pop-up restaurants, hosted picnics with 80 guests and now have written Paris Picnic Club. The book is full of all their best recipes and is fully illustrated by Levitt. Below, we picked out some of the most beautiful of Levitt’s watercolors featuring a full cheese and fruit spread, salmon gravlax, creamy potato-y aligot, briny oysters and tartines.
