At number 41 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Franco-American friendship is celebrated every day around a dining table, sampling the best that French and American cuisine have to offer when they join forces. From the time of Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson - America's first ambassadors to France - to their present-day counterparts, it has been a particularly happy marriage of culinary and cultural traditions.
Executive chef Philippe Excoffier, who has presided over the kitchen at the American Ambassador's Residence for the past decade, shares forty seasonal recipes that combine American flair with French gastronomy and offer inspiration for refined entertaining.
