"A collection of stories and 100 sweet and savory French-inspired recipes from Chez Panisse pastry chef turned popular food blogger David Lebovitz, reflecting the way modern Parisians eat today and featuring lush photography taken around Paris and in David's Parisian kitchen. French cooking has come a long way since the days of Escoffier. The culinary culture of France has changed and the current generation of French cooks, most notably in Paris, are incorporating ingredients and techniques from around the world. In My Paris Kitchen, David Lebovitz remasters the French classics, introduces lesser known French fare, and presents 100 recipes using ingredients foraged in the ethnic neighborhoods of Paris. Stories told in David's trademark style describe the quirks, trials, and joys of cooking, shopping, and eating in France, while food and location photographs reveal modern life in Paris"-- Provided by publisher.

Already a fan submitted by LibraryMaven on August 14, 2014, 1:56pm I've been a fan of David Lebovitz for a while, having read The Sweet Life in Paris and then following his website. This book does not disappoint, either in tone or in recipes. I loved his commentary on living and cooking in Paris and the headnotes to the recipes are both amusing and informative. Though his specialty is desserts, and the ones in this cookbook do look fantastic, it was the savory recipes that really caught my attention. Many of them are geared more towards winter (and believe me, I will be cooking them then) but I tried his baba ghanoush recipe last night and it was, predictably, excellent.

Great fun to read submitted by bookher on June 15, 2022, 3:31pm I loved reading through this book and will make many of the recipes.
