David Lebovitz has compiled dozens of witty and insightful tales about his life adjusting to life as an American in Paris. He reminds the reader often that his adjustment was eased along by his job as a patissier. His love of food clearly informs his life in Paris and each anecdote is punctuated with lovely recipes that will definitely be incorporated into my new recipe challenge. Some that I will be trying as soon as I can include the Bacon and Blue Cheese Bread, Oven-Roasted Figs, Chicken Mole, Chocolate-Coconut Marshmallows, Dulce de Leche Brownies and a Fromage Blanc Souffle, to name just a small selection. It was a wonderful read and very inspiring and imaginative and fun. I'll be dreaming and eating Paris for awhile after this book.
