My Paris Kitchen: Recipes and Stories by David Lebovitz

5.0

What a beautiful book! The pictures are gorgeous and the stories read like Parisian foodie love letters. Give this book to anyone who loves to cook or buy it for yourself if you need a little kitchen inspiration. Food blooger David Lebovitz provides detailed backgrounds on many of the common ingredients used in French cooking. For example, the many different types of chocolate and which dishes produce the best outcome from each variety. Equal parts cookbook and stories, you will find yourself reading (with great interest) about which types of eggs and milk to buy, as well as when to buy and how to mince garlic.
I would categorize this beautiful ode to French eating somewhere between "food porn" and "comfort food." The eye-rolling, ecstatic moaning when you see the photos and read the ingredients lists leads to a totally different type of warm-all-overs when you read the personal stories that allowed Lebovitz to compile this book. A perfect reflection of the food, friends, family Parisian lifestyle.
