The author’s
DavidLebovitz.com blog shared recipes, as one would expect a cookbook author to
do, but it gained popularity has he also shared matter of fact tales of everyday
life in a beautiful city that can be rather unforgiving in etiquette, tradition
and red tape.
L’Appart
(busy Paris contraction for The Apartment) comes with the bonus of recipes from
an expert chef who has been featured in: Bon Appétit, Chocolatier, Food+Wine, The
Los Angeles Times, Newsweek, Travel and Leisure, The New York Times, People,
Saveur and USA Today.
But for
those of us who enjoy memoir over a countertop of bowls, mixers and dozens of ingredients
-- it's easy to skip over, or speed read them.
My fingers
were eagerly flipping pages to keep up with his perfect blend of storytelling
spiced/spiked with details about peculiarities of Paris, French bureaucracy and
contractors.
