After a redesign by Philippe Starck, Le Jardin d'Hiver du Meurice has been renamed Le Dalí, in honor of the surrealist artist, who was a regular guest of the hotel.

The furniture and décor are new (the ceiling is now decorated by a large canvas painted by Starck's daughter Ara), as is the lunchtime menu created by chef Yannick Alléno, but the teatime formules remain the same, and still feature Camille Lesecq's pastries.

Le Stübli has been purchased by bread baker Véronique Mauclerc (see page 159), and it is now her name that's on the awning.

Bruno Viala has left to open his own restaurant (Monjul, 28 rue des Blancs Manteaux in the 4th, 01 42 74 40 15). Jaume Morera, a young chef from Barcelona, has taken his place and maintains the same style of cooking -- though one might wish for his own personality to shine through.

Since the time of writing, US regulations have changed in regards to the import of small lots of seeds for planting and consumption; a written permit is now required.

As reader Steve Cook comments, "eating in Paris, and looking at what is available in vegetable markets and from seed merchants there, can be a great way to come up with ideas for new varieties to grow. One way to follow through on that is then to go back to the States and look in good seed catalogs for the things you want to try. A great seed company located in my home state of Oregon, Territorial Seed, for example, sells dozens of varieties that originated in France."

Due to the long-term closing of this spice shop when I was fact-checking the addresses in the book, I had to remove L'Épicerie de Bruno from the book. Thankfully, Bruno Jarry has since reopened his spiffy boutique off Rue Montorgueil, and you should absolutely pay him a visit.

Packaged up by hand on the premises, the spices, herbs, flowers, and peppercorns range from high-quality classics to brow-arching curiosities and enthusing additions to the cook’s pantry. The selection of chilies from France, Hungary, Spain, and Mexico is unrivaled, and prices are kept to a very reasonable level.

The friendly owner hosts a monthly open-door event called Les Apéros de Bruno, during which visitors can have a drink and sample his new products.
