A collection of stories and 100 sweet and savory French-inspired
recipes from popular food blogger David Lebovitz, reflecting the way
Parisians eat today and featuring lush photography taken around Paris
and in David's Parisian kitchen.
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 à
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.
