My Paris Kitchen by David Lebovitz
A collection of stories and 100 sweet and savory French-inspired recipes that reflect the way Parisians eat today, featuring lush Parisian photography"David Lebovitz is a rare specimen- both a terrific storyteller and a brilliant, uncompromising recipe writer."-Yotam Ottolenghi
In 2004, David Lebovitz packed up his most treasured cookbooks, a well-worn cast-iron skillet, and his laptop and moved to Paris. In that time, the culinary culture of France has shifted as a new generation of chefs and home cooks-most notably in Paris-incorporates ingredients and techniques from around the world into traditional French dishes.
In My Paris Kitchen, David remasters the classics, introduces lesser-known fare, and presents 100 sweet and savory recipes that reflect the way modern Parisians eat today. You'll find Soupe l'oignon, Cassoulet, Coq au vin, and Croque-monsieur, as well as Smoky barbecue-style pork, Lamb shank tagine, Dukkah-roasted cauliflower, Salt cod fritters with tartar sauce, and Wheat berry salad with radicchio, root vegetables, and pomegranate. And of course, there's dessert- Warm chocolate cake with salted butter caramel sauce, Duck fat cookies, Bay leaf poundcake with orange glaze, French cheesecake . . . and the list goes on.
David also shares stories told with his trademark wit and humor; and lush photography taken on location around Paris and in David's kitchen reveals the quirks, trials, beauty, and joys of life in the culinary capital of the world.
DAVID LEBOVITZ has worked as a professional cook and baker for most of his life, spending nearly thirteen years at Chez Panisse until leaving to write books in 1999. In 2004, David relocated to Paris and launched davidlebovitz.com, a hugely successful blog. He is the author of six books, including The Perfect Scoop, Ready for Dessert, The Great Book of Chocolate, and a memoir titled The Sweet Life in Paris, and the San Francisco Chronicle named him one of the Bay Area's Top Five Pastry Chefs.
