• Other highlights: In a great many ways, My Paris Kitchen feels like David Lebovitz’s blog handed to me in book form. It’s deeply personal and extremely inviting, with recipes interspersed among photos of David in Paris side-by-side with short essays and reflections from his daily life. It’s the kind of book that only an ex-pat who has fallen in love with his adopted city can write — he pokes fun at Paris and Parisiennes, but his admiration and sheer joy at living there shine through.
Come for the recipes, stay for David’s stories of Paris dinner parties, eating panade at Chez Panisse, surviving the Paris heat waves, and gazing from his kitchen window at the Eiffel Tower.
