Alice Brace reviews everything, one month at a time.

Musings about cooking in Paris; recipes; merriment.

Newsletter of the former editor in chief of The Happy Reader. A magazine as well, in its way

May my words and wonder inspire yours! And here, they abound: Stories, poems and truth (writing anxiety, travel tales, Paris living...) Each post ends with a prompt you can respond to, which I would share on the instagram page.

Bien manger, rire fort et aimer beaucoup

Sketches, ideas and works-in-progress.
