...road along the Seine by an immense transparent glass screen, exactly echoes the river's bend; on the west, it seamlessly abuts five late 19th century Hausmannian apartment buildings with a grace that leaves their courtyards intact. And along the southern exposure, where the public will begin entering the complex this week, Nouvel has given the museum just the right height and density to make accomplices rather than minions of the apartment buildings across the narrow Rue de l'Université.

Celebrated for its complex stews, bold flavors, unusual ingredients and intricate cooking techniques, the area has long attracted gourmets from around the world (the most daring will munch on chapulines?fried grasshoppers). Cabrera began offering lessons after getting repeated requests for recipes from travelers who ate in her family's restaurant, La Olla.
