What a gorgeous book. David Lebovitz cookbook/storybook called My Paris Kitchen is a continuation of his wonderful blog and is stuffed with engaging stories. And the food. Even without the delicious recipes, the book is stunning. Lebovitz is a delight.
And he's not an ingredient snob, while so many popular cooks and chefs are just that. Butter is good. Unsalted or salted is okay---you can actually interchange them. Lebovitz gives permission. Simple things that matter. Let's not get all in a twist about such inconsequentials---at least to those of us who can't totally replicate a recipe.
I enjoyed reading about his life in Paris, his struggles and adjustments and his outfitting of his little kitchen. He makes cooking fun, and your mouth will water every time you crack open the book. Guaranteed.
